What the hell is this??

This is a Nubbin Post.  When the road was  The Delaware and Hudson Canal the barges on the canal were towed by mule. The tow ropes were wrapped around these posts. The stone is not local. When you're passing by one on the tow path stop and have a look. You can still see the grooves made by the ropes over  hundred years ago.

I'll be damned.

Not not for that. Everybody does that it's a natural thing. But for this. I was looking around at references to the Lackawaxen River on the net and found this picture of me fishing in Macy's Pool advertising a cabin rental. Ha!

What size is that BWO? Are they taking the emerger?

Here's a photo of an eagle that I took either last year or the year before. This is one of the wonderful things about the Lackawaxen. Not only eagles but coyotes, bears and all the wildlife in the valley. This is a good time of year to watch for these beautiful birds. Though they are resident year round there is a large population of wintering birds. I have video of at least a dozen birds fishing the Zane Grey pool late last winter.
