KAYAKERS - DON'T BE F@$KING STUPID
Hit one of the Finger Lakes this morning on the Hobie kayak and there was another kayaker at the launch when I got there. Wind was out of the sourh, so there was a decent chop to the water. He had an off-brand sit on top kayak with an iPilot unit bolted to some 2 by lumber strapped to the bow. He...

The need to be in Johnson City on Friday afforded me another opportunity to hook up with my son (and one of his friends) in Binghamton and do some trout fishing today.
No, it’s not trout season yet, with the “season” opening next week. I wasn’t aware that the rule to allow catch and release/artificial lure trout fishing from Oct. 16 to March 31 just changed last year. I thought it was odd when someone stopped and asked me this morning if they opened trout season early….but it seems a lot of anglers don’t know the rules changed to allow year round trout fishing on inland streams.
Good, less fishing pressure to compete with. We saw three other fishermen in our 6 hours today.
While the weather wasn’t ideal (on the day we saw rain, snow, sun, graupel…at times really cold, and others not), the location and fishing was. Some digging got me to the March stocking schedule for the Bath Hatchery. On Friday they stocked 3,000 brown trout (mostly yearlings, but some 2 year olds) in the Nanticoke Creek around Maine, NY. I had a few public access areas on the creek planned, but we ended up staying at the first stop all day.
Being new to trout fishing and never having fished after a stocking, I was hoping it would be like shooting fish in a barrel when we got there. Sometimes things work out the way you hope they will. Between the three of us we caught more than 50 trout on the day. Most of them were yearlings from yesterdays stocking, but there were a few bigger fish on the day.
All in all a really fun day!
