The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Out from Montana, Neversink???

You've really got to see this one full-size to enjoy it. It's my first attempt at a 360 degree panorama stitched together with the latest and greatest version of Adobe Photoshop.

Hey, I come out to Mahwah NJ every year from Bozeman MT to visit my in-laws and this year i get a hall pass for the day (fathers day). I am willing to drive to the Neversink Gorge but i have no idea where to really go. So anyone out there know that area? Help a brother from MT and the favor will be returned should any of you make it out to this area.

Bozone, if I knew one end of the Neversink from another I'd be glad to tell you what I know. But I don't, having never fished it. So, I'd recommend that you call some local fly shops in the area and ask them. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It's pretty easy to figure out. There are only two ways into the gorge. I've always gone in the north path. Several good pools are pretty close to where the trail goes near the river. Be really careful about crossing, and don't even try unless the water is pretty low. It's very slippery and fast, and deceptively deep when it's clear. If you don't cross, there are some steep bluffs you can't really get past on the near side, so you'll be limited, but you can have a fun day working the pools you can get to.

With the rain we have been getting in the Northeast it possibly won't be low. Good luck and tight lines.

Hello! I know this is an old post and not sure if you still are connected to it and if you still come out to NJ. I live in Oakland, next to Mahwah. I know the Neversink a bit although I've never fished the gorge. I also know the Delaware and Beaverkill. If you have any plans on coming out I'd be happy to show you around these streams.
