Hi, have not fished the Neversink since the 70’s. After reading Bergmans “Trout” we fished it down in Oakland Valley many times between the old bridge and where the river crosses the main rd. upstream. The area is well below where you fished in the video. I think the area you fished was closed or private for many years. Great for a number of years. Beautiful piece of water. I think the area is closed now or part of a camp ground. If you ever go by let me know what you find. Thx. Nice video of an old favorite!
Beautiful region, I was never fishing on the Neversink, but spent some boyhood vacations along the headwaters of the East Branch of the Neversink, most catching brook trout. Why does the commentator always refer to wild trout? The fish look nice, but the fins don't look perfect, and the ease at which they are being caught make me wonder? NY stocks virtually all of their rivers – are there no stocked trout here, especially in April?
Lovely colours and spots on some of those fish. Wondering, is it the camera settings that make them look yellowish or it that how they really are? No offence intended, I just have never seen trout with such extreme colouring.
We used to sing a camp song about the Neversink. I spent many hot summer days cooling off there. Great video, will have to give it a shot next time I'm up that way!
To be honest I could be wrong, but I don't know if any but maybe two of those fish are truly "wild". I know most of the fish caught on the Neversink below the dam are stocked fish all in that size range. The fish caught in the video definitely have more vibrant colors than most stocked fish with the gold colors and red dots, but they still have that blurry complexion in their spots that are usually indicative of stocked trout, while wild browns' dots usually are clean and sharply defined. They are probably holdovers from the previous year and definitely nice fish. But, I think its kind of cheap to make a highlight of the video (which is great otherwise) to be marveling over how the browns, which aren't even native to the U.S., are "wild", when there are not only TRULY wild and native Brook trout to be caught in the area but also brown trout who have probably been naturally reproducing a lot longer just a few miles upstream on the other side of the dam where the river is smaller. I know I'm kind of being a bitch about this but one of the reasons trout fishing is so fabulous and renowned is because of the purity and wildness of it, and I don't think we should forget the true treasure that real wild trout are for conservation's sake.
Well done Angler. I've caught more trout on PT's than all others combined. Absolutely my go to sub surface fly. I've fished mostly here in the West but hope to do some Eastern trout fishing at some point. Excellent video.
GREAT VID! I'm so tired of seeing jerks with a camera talk to themselves…YOU do a great job showing the area, action and the spirit of the day. Keep up the good work man, see you streamside!
