Biscuit Brook Weir:  The Biscuit Brook Weir is but a foggy memory to the few who knew its existence.  It’s been almost a full decade since Hurricane Irene destroyed it in 2011, and Pigeon Lodge alongside the stream dam.  There aren’t many anglers still about who can recall it, or tell stories of BIG BROWN TROUT that used to live under the wall on the left side of the Weir.  The late Chuck White, a Frost Valley YMCA employee, eyes would glow as he told of his encounters with these mammoth brown trout.  

So, if you ever going searching for this structure, it’s not to be found except in the image of this watercolor below.  This watercolor appeared in the July 2021 Gazette, newsletter of the Catskill Fly Tyers Guild.
