[Rockhounds] collecting herkimers at Crystal Grove?

[Tim Jokela Jr.]

I'm planning a trip to NY sometime this summer, perhaps next week, to hammer 
my brains out in search of "Herkimer diamonds" at Crystal Grove.

I know the basics, and have plenty of hammers, many pounds of spring steel 
wedges, and the mandatory strong back and weak mind.

However, I've never collected at Crystal Grove, so does anybody have any 
hints or tips? Concentrate on the wall, or try working down into the floor? 
Where are the pockets concentrated?

 I'm also a fanatical fly fisher, so any trouty tips would be cool. Much 
thanks for any help!

Cheers,
