NY State has decided to close Beaverkill Campground this year in an effort to cut costs. I am not entirely sure how operating a camp ground is a money losing venture, unless there is bloated overhead in terms of staffing, but that is a different issue altogether.
Sullivan County is seeking to have this decision reversed for the obvious negative economic impact such a decision will have on the surrounding communities which depend on tourist, ie. fishing, dollars.

And a thank you is due Catskill Flies in Roscoe, NY who are really winning me over as of late. This fly shop has gone from a reputation of having a miserly curmudgeon keeping watch over the store and all its over-priced merchandise while at the same time providing a great Stream Conditions resource, to a fly shop with a friendly, educational atmosphere that still has the great stream condition reports.

Catskill Flies has gotten so much better lately. Heck, they had free lunch when we were in there last year. Their stream reports are great, but if you really want to win me over, it's all about sandwiches.
