Wife Susie and I fished Friday and water was around 206 cfs.Caught several nice fish,the biggest being a brown pushing 17+ inches.Saw several fish in the park over 3# but didn"t catch any.Left out Friday pm after only fishing 5 hours and having plans for the Easter weekend.Weather beautiful and got a chance to talk to the folks in the park office about a memorial bench for our son,Brett. Got an e-mail from Doug today that the bench is a go.We are ecstatic!

We've been waiting 2 years and at times I wasn't as patient as I should have been.Brett loved going to Montauk for the fishing ,the food at the lodge, and the interacting with the people we would meet there.Sometimes he had trouble focusing on the fishing part when he could smell bacon cooking on some campers griddle."Dad", I"m hungry and we would give him money for the buffet knowing that he'd enjoy the food,tip the waitress too much and eventually come back and flyfish with Susie and I . Don't know the exact location and the specific date when this will all happen,but were looking at sometime late April-early May.He was a wonderful young man,kind to everyone and we still struggle with losing him 2 1/2 years ago.
