A TIME OF NEW TRADITIONS: SPRING IN THE CATSKILLS

April 23, 2021 by David Coggins in Fishing

To celebrate my first trip to the water this trout season, I bought a case of Miller Lite. It felt good to stride into the walk-in cooler at Peck’s Market in Livingston Manor, NY, and stride out with a box of 24 cans of the good stuff. Well maybe not the good stuff, but at least the acceptable stuff. Anyway, I was happy.

Back on grill duty. 6lb bone-in pork shoulder. Overnight marinade. Found it takes about 3 hours to get to a good place. Will report back!

Very excited to share some theories about outdoor style with my friends at @jcrewmens at the great @troutbeck.ny. #injcrew
