New York #4

Ithaca Day 4 

Fishing the Tioughnioga River

I started the day off with another delicious cup of coffee from Brookton's Market before I met Ken and Mike up at Puddledockers to pick up our boats from Philip.  We ended up getting two Jackson Cruises 12's and a decked out Jackson Cuda 14.  The water was flowing pretty good and it rained off and on all day.  Ken ended up catching the only fish of the day, a Walleye.  But as always, a day on the water is a good day.

Mud Fish

I've never seen one of these before. 

Walleye

I've also never seen one of these in person.

Bald Eagles all day

Unfortunately, we didn't have many fish to show this day but check back for a post from the following day and I swear you'll pee your rainbow trout panties with excitement. 

Cheers,

New York Day 3

Day 3 in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. 

What a great time of year to be in such an awesome area of the country.  The leaves are changing color and falling off the trees.  The weather is nice and changes from day to day.  70 degrees one day to 30 the next and raining off and on.  The air is fresh and the water is clean.  

This is Brookton's Market. It is my favorite place to get my morning coffee and check my email.  It is within walking distance from Clint's place and is your one stop shop for all of your food and beverage needs, as well as being a live music venue.

After my cup o joe I headed over to the Wide Awake Bakery in Ithaca where my buddy Jordan works.  They make some of Ithaca's finest bread. 

Jordan and Walter. 

After I took photos at the Bakery I met Clint back over at his place. 

We had lunch at the Dryden Hotel on our way to the Cortland Line Factory Store for some flys. 

And of course no night with the Garrett boys is complete without a few beers and a raging fire.
