Fishing in New York

Photo Gallery: A friend of mine once said that New York is an outdoorsman's paradise. For those who live outside the state, that may seem hard to believe, but it's true, at least from a fisherman's perspective. There is an amazing diversity of freshwater gamefish available able anglers year around. Over the past ten years, I've accumulated quite a few digital images of NY fishing that I thought it would be fun to share.

Branchu is the Québecois word for wood duck, and a very suitable name for this fly with its characteristic wood duck wing.
