"I continued to fish until 6:30 pm with my totals at Skaneateles Creek being 13 fish: 7 browns and 6 rainbows. All the fish ranged from 8 inches up to my biggest fish of the day which was a 15 inch brown," he said.

Victor Dupuis, of Lafayette, had a good day fishing Skaneateles Creek earlier this week.

He wrote me: I am an 18 year old freshman at SUNY Delhi. I am not sure if you are still looking for fishing stories but I thought this was worth sharing with you.

This past Monday, April 9th, I decided to get up and hit Nine Mile creek around 8 :30. After fishing Nine Mile for about 3 hours and only landing one small brown I decided to head over to Skaneateles Creek.

"I had heard about the fly fishing-only section and thought i would give it a try. After only a half hour I had landed four fish: One brown 13" and three rainbows measuring at 10 inches, 12 inches and 13 inches.

"I continued to fish until 6:30 pm with my totals at Skaneateles Creek being 13 fish: 7 browns and 6 rainbows. All the fish ranged from 8" up to my biggest fish of the day which was a 15 inch brown.

"I had never landed a rainbow on my fly rod up until yesterday so it was quite a thrill.

"I attached a couple pictures of the fish. I was alone so I couldn't get pictures with me and the fish."

Editor's note: Skaneateles Creek is stocked by the Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery in Elbridge with rainbows. Any browns caught there are wild browns. Thanks for sharing, Victor. and good luck on the spring semester!
