Live From The Water 2022

[rachunter]

You gotta head upstream(or downstream) sometimes to get away from the boot prints. Trout fishing is more like hunting imo. The more that you stay hidden downstream and cast upstream the better. I wear drab natural colors and don't let my shaddow enter the hole. Dont stomp the ground or take strong steps near the waters edge. This is not brim fishing. These are the wildest weary fish in the creeks. Make your first cast count.

There was fish swirling around I’m not walking away from fish to find fish. I’m here know nothing is happening so I worked my way down stream. I’m having a cup of swirl and going to head up stream. I’ve been fishing here for over a month and everyone I’ve encountered has been polite Karen and the kids where looking for attention.

Especially later in the summer, I love throwing terrestrials at rising fish

Got skunked this morning. I’m not really sure what to do when the wind causes ripples on the water so I used a dry dropper. I found a full container of worms so I’ll probably be pan fishing this afternoon.

I came to the conclusion I’m not a worm fisherman. I last maybe a half hour. Then I threw the worms in the bushes and tried some lures. Nothing caught

I had a phenomenal morning on the Catt and then pulled into a little creek that Id never fished and caught a glorious wild brown in a hole with a little spring running into it. It was the only creek in the Catt system I hadnt fished. I love "collecting" streams and this is number 34 for me. Also got a cool pic of a sucker through the polarized glasses

do you pronounce them as "creek" or "crick"?

Got out yesterday on the willowemoc and only had one hit. For half the day i tried learning euro nymphing again, but Ive been having a lot of trouble with it. I really need to learn the sensitivity of it. Later in the day I switched to soft hackles and that's what I had my hit on. I was on the phone at the time and wasn't prepared to set the hook, but it was a nice trout. I watched that trout leap into the air about 10 minutes before. Not much rising going on yesterday, but I did see a few fish launch themselves out of the river after what I assume is caddis. Next weekend is looking really good, hopefully i can get on some fish

West branch ?

Depends on to whom I am speaking. For someone in Connecticut its a "creek"

great trout!  love those little spots.  used to fish a little feeder stream into the headwaters of Chittenango crick and in the heat of summer the water was always cooler there and the trout just stacked up.  big ones where the water barely covered their backs. ( also had to dodge the local pasture bull to get to it! )

I doubt you brought clubs but the Inlet golf course may be my favorite track

Todays catch. I think I landed 5 bass this this weekend all from our camp site.

I caught around (25) smallmouth and (1) 12” perch so far this Holliday weekend up in the Adirondacks.  I finally got a “legal” 20-1/2” bass this evening on a 1/8 oz bucktail jig.    She went back in with all the rest of the bass. I am looking for at least a 22” to mount. That was the last 1/8 oz bucktail jig that I had and I lost it on a snag shortly after landing the big bass.

I will have to get by with 1/4 and 1/16 oz jigs on our last morning tomorrow.  Also got 5 or 6 on a top water bait this morning (Zara puppy), and about the same number trolling a silver hot-n-tot after the sw wind picked up. 
 

The perch is in a fish cage at the dock, and if I get another in the morning, I will fillet them for my mother in law.

Thanks to @Real TC for the honey hole info. Kids had a blast....bunch of hook ups with none landed. Kids learned how tough fishing can be.
