Urban Casting

I love getting things in the mail and a few days ago I was delighted to see a package arrive at the house addressed to me.  My buddy Dave who lives in Brooklyn, New York had sent me a birthday gift.  The gift is a tee shirt promoting the Brooklyn Fishing Derby put on by the Brooklyn Urban Anglers Association.  I love this!  Check out their website.  The two types of fish for the derby are stripers and blues.  There is a handful of fly fisherman that participate and lots photos of some good looking fish. Also the best part of the web site is the map of the the tournament area.  Below the map they make the recommendation  to carry "a knife to cut line and deter any would-be people who may be up to no good",  and also they advise anglers "be aware that we won’t bail you out if you get arrested." Not quite sure why fishermen would be getting arrested but heck, it sounds fun!  I am having vision of going to the Guggenheim Museum to check out a show then catching the subway over to the river for some casting. 

Thanks Dave!
