That night, Clint and I headed back to his place for a late night fire with a couple of his neighborly neighbors.


I made friends quickly. Mike Lenetsky and Ken Kemphues are avid fly anglers who agreed to show me around. I picked up a couple of kayaks from Puddle dockers on Six Mile Creek. We headed to the Tioghniogha River (locals call it Tio) for an afternoon paddle. Rain fell off and on all day and brightly colored leaves drifted down the clear river water near Cortland, NY. Mike and Ken had waded the waters many times, however, they were fairly new to fly fishing from a kayak. We paddled out of town and stopped to fish bends in the river targeting swift water rushing over the rocks.


The fishing was tough with rain all day. Ken ended up catching the only fish of the day, a walleye.
