Much thanks to Ripitz for walking his property with me and showing me his spots on Fishkill Creek. Caught a nice brown!

That’s a real beauty.
I don’t jack shit about trout fishing. Are you fly fishing or spinning rod. Lures or bait?

Edit: I just noticed the spinning rod.

I had the fly rod out today as well, but I’m better with the spinning gear…for now. Nothing was hitting the surface today anyway, and the tandem rig on the fly rod wasn’t working. A streamer might have worked better, only got that brown after I switched to a lure that ran deeper. Fun afternoon!

Going to and coming back from Gore Tuesday to ski we went over Scriba Creek that flows into Oneida Lake in The UpState & missed this.

Appears to be open and shut case to me. If they want things to change, they should show up to a council meeting and respectfully ask them to enact their own limits. And the state should offer an apology and some kind of compensation for infringing on their rights.

There’s something fishy about this story.

There’s something fishy about this story.

There’s folks trying to restore Atlantic Salmon in Fish Creek.
It too comes out of The Tug.

First folks put in dams then a fish hatchery.
Now they just put in barriers for vehicles.
