Syracuse.com - Oneida angler lands nice-sized brook trout on upper West Canada Creek

[HuntingNY-News]

It measured 17 inches, and weighed just under 2 1/2 pounds.

Keith Leonard,. of Oneida, a serious dog sledder that I wrote about a couple of years ago, sent me these two pictures of a brook trout he caught recently.

Leonard wrote: " Hi, Dave. You might remember me, I'm the dog sledder from Oneida. (See the video.)

 

"Thought I'd pass along a couple of photos of a brook trout that I caught last week on the upper W. Canada Creek. It measured 17 inches, and weighed just under 2 1/2 pounds. I caught it on a night crawler.

"My wife and I had it for dinner that night (the fish, not the worm). It was delicious!

"Believe it or not, this is not the biggest brookie I've ever caught. I once caught one that weighed 3 pounds. I don't remember how long that one was. That one was on the Black Creek near Grey, NY.

"It won me an award in the Leatherstocking Country annual fishing contest."
