I work the outages at the power plants every year. I stay at the Travelodge but I think its now Knights Inn. Rooms aren't too bad, same with the price. I'm on the edge of town in Pulaski. Everything is close by, stores, bait shops, restaurants. 3723 State Route 13, Pulaski NY 13142. Office # 315 298 4717 Don't call a booking hotline or go on line, they will charge you double. Call the office, speak with VJ you will get a better deal.

I always stay in Fox Hollow's cabins. Nice clean place with reasonable rates. 315-298-2876.  If you can fly fish, fish the fly only section which will normally get you away from a 70% of the idiots.

Don't wanna hijack the thread but the fly fishing only section does it mean you have to use a fly rod or can you use a Centerpin with flies?...Dumb question  but I don't have a fly rod only a pin rod

I knew someone would get their panties in a bunch over that comment. I didn't come close to saying you are an idiot if you don't flyfish lol. There's idiots in every stretch, but you just happen to find more polite people in the upper section plain and simple.
