The river boasts a stellar run of May/June shad. It’s always a treat to spend a few hours battling these strong, sea-run fish.


This was taken on the Solstice, 2018. I floated with Ben Rinker at we were saturated with soft, summer showers. It only lasted about ten minutes, and the benefit was that amazing double rainbow. A lovely section of river.

Yeah, it’s not a river, but since its been a longtime fishing haunt for me (and it’s as beautiful as it can get) I decided to include it in this category. This was taken on a wild and chilly November morning stalking elusive Stripers.

Two of my dearest pals; We all attended Mannes College of Music together back in 1968. Fred is an amazing composer and virtuoso classical guitarist, and John is a wonderful flautist. John and I toured together as “Herrick & Handler” for ten years. Two truly wonderful and talented people!
