I have enjoyed showing you fellow fishermen a taste of the area
we fish. So Tommy Gunn, owner of FishSeekers.com
and I hooked up to bring you a film on the going's on in Connetquot
State Park and the incredible trout fishing that it has to offer
Long Islanders and travellers. It is definitely one of the jewels
of the Island.
If
you are trying to get someone into fly fishing, you must bring
him or her here first...it would be a crime not to.
For
Tommy and I....hardcore saltwater fishermen... it was a break
from the usual and a good time to get out of the city, into the
woods and onto the streams. The trout here range from your casual
trout of a pound to small dogs of 6 pounds and better lurking
behind every bend. To say we caught a few would be a sad under
statement at best. On the first day Tommy caught over 20 trout
and a 3 pound rainbow. I have a bad habbit of losing fish on their
double flip. We talked to other fishermen, none of whom had a
bad word to say about this grand fishing establishment.
It's
been a great learning experience to work with Tommy Gunn on this
project and I hope you enjoy our film.
