This year that is.   Drove an hour north to a place I've never fished.  It's half the drive I routinely make to my normal waters.  I fished my nymphs and I was deadly (#14 hares ear wet and a #16 prince nymph on a dropper).  Same rig all day and I got fatigued from trying to hook them strikes.  For the most part small but firm native fish N of Bolton Landing in pocket water. Handful of good ones in the deep slots.  Damn.  Wading is a sonofabitch, but man was I rewarded.  Don't go there without a wading staff.  Shit ton of rainbows and a couple pretty nice brook trout.  Landed 34 plus a bunch of flippers loose on the long line when I started to get tired.

snagged all of 4 rocks firmly today and one them got cut loose when a small guy hit the dropper.  

I think the other 2 guys on the water cried.  I was the Trout Tactician today.

Don't speculate on the name of the River.  5 min on maps and anyone should be able to figure it out.  Water temp today, by feel, makes me think it's an early summer for catch and release guys.
