Live From The Water 2021!!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Had a fun day on Conesus today. Saw a ton of fish, and ended up breaking in my new Duckett rod and reel setup on these two Pike!

You all will see a lot of posts from me in this thread this year, as I joined a fishing club and will be fishing tournaments all summer.

The Cohocton was low and clear this morning, not the best fishing conditions but I managed to catch a few browns.  I was staying low and crawling up to the holes. Things were pretty slow until about 10am.

Went out to the local pond this morning to try my luck fly fishing again.There where big fish jumping clean out of the water,but i couldn't hook one.They where eating little white flies the size of pepper flakes.The worm guys where crushing them.I couldn't take it anymore and grabbed my spinning rod and a Little Chloe[silver/blue] first cast i got a rainbow.I tried a few more flies then left.

Rigth in the middle of the picture is a Bald Eagle,There becoming quite common here on Long Island.

If they're leaping out of the water it's caddis

I've heard of him.

I do regret not taking a pic during the worst of it. Tciii was across the creek and I could barely see him. We kept talking to each other so we didn't get lost. He kept saying "on" and I would answer with "got em".... at least I think that was so we maintained each other's locations.

I also only took 1 photo. When I sent my tackle recovery specialist in to retreive my lucky bugger.

There were guys literally running around with cameras yesterday, turns out this bird was in the area and its pretty rare. We naturally assumed they were making a netflix documentary on the worlds greatest fly casters but that turned out to be a rumor

everyone has a camera these days and wants to catch on film the two guys fishing in a snowstorm before they drown.....people .....lol

 

went hiking in to a pond to fish with a bunch of guys one time and one of them tells us all to get toghter to take a pic.  Then he says he wanted our last pic to be out there to show what happened just before this trip...

Got out this afternoon chasing  the hendrickson hatch. The fish were there ... the hendricksons were there... fish didn't know they were supposed to eat the bugs.    Got a  few 

 

And a couple surprises 

I have fished this river for over 30 years and never a rainbow .. brookies yes .. browns .. but never a bow. Great day... 

pygmy have you gotten  bows out of the big c this year ?

I have not, Mike, but I haven't fished the river much this year..However, if you check the NYDEC stocking schedule this year, it says that the 2 year olds they are stocking in 2021 are browns, but the yearlings are all rainbows...  I have only caught one rainbow from there in my life, and I figured that was either a stray from the hatchery or perhaps from a private stocking on private land from perhaps Castle Creek..

Well it was a pleasant suprise... Dan I tried to give you a call this afternoon  phone said your mailbox wasn't set up .. was going to see if you wanted to join me .

I fished a local stocked stream tonight, it was waist deep and moving so after just one fish on the euronymphing program I put a bugger on and raised three big browns. Didn't land any of them. My friend landed a few so we've got a fish fry for today

Did they stock last year?  I don't think they did around here. So maybe lots of 2 years to stock this year?.

Nice trouts and a fine day!

Last year they just dumped them all in one fell swoop, and wouldn't let bucket brigades carry them away from the bridges. From my understanding they emptied the hatcheries so they wouldn't have to man them. And the fishing was fantastic all summer long lol
