Syracuse.com - Liverpool angler proves early bird gets the trout on Nine Mile Creek

[HuntingNY-News]

He caught his limit by 12:25 a.m.

Mike Burt, of Liverpool, sent me the following this morning:

"Good early morning outing. The rain we had this afternoon left Nine Mile Creek in perfect shape for the area I wanted to fish, with the water slightly stained rather than the gin clear water the pool had two days ago when I scouted it. On the first cast I caught the hefty 15" rainbow trout. It is the first rainbow trout I have ever pulled out of Nine Mile Creek.

"I started at 12:01 a.m. and finished at 12:25 a.m. The largest was a brown trout just over 15". The other 3 were an 11" and two 8" browns.

"All were taken from the same pool on nightcrawlers. They wanted nothing to do with corn. Time to get some sleep before work tomorrow. Did not see another fisherman on the stretch I fished this early!"

I keep the tiny ones when they swallow the hook. put them right in the pan and eat them.

How many bites is a 5" fish? Those aren't even fish, they are parr_

Size is not everything Biz, you should know that. Don't worry what people keep :-/
