RESULTS 2006

2006 has been a difficult year for fly-fishing in the northeastern United States. Heavy rains have caused many rivers to become very high and dangerous. These conditions required that the 2006 Hendrickson Hatch Fly Fishing Tournament be postponed from May 20&21 to June 3&4. The original event saw over 50 participants show up for registration. All were understanding of the circumstance and supportive of the decision to postpone. In the end we had 26 anglers register on June 3&4. Participants came from many areas including Albany, Syracuse, Burlington, VT and many northern New York towns including Potsdam, Massena, Colton, Malone, St. Regis Falls, and Chateaugay. The river fished well, especially Saturday, and every participant received an award or door prize. The committee would like to offer a special thanks to Brookfield Power and Damon Rods for their generous support of this year’s event.
