Live From The Stream 2023

Since we have a fly fishing section why not a thread?

 

Great afternoon on a couple different Wild Quality streams, including what I think is my biggest WNY stream trout

I think only those that's reveal where the fish was caught can qualify.

That yellow perdigon is called a Butano

Any Hendricksons hatching yet?  That hatch is just starting here in NJ and to our west in PA’s Poconos.

The sad thing is instead of admiring your browns, I’m liking the left bank pool that swaps the thalweg to river right in a nice run and then down into a healthy riffle section. Nice looking, healthy stream.

Its a sweet little "Wild Quality" stream but man is it tight

And woody debris in the channel makes it even worse. My guess is once leaves are out, it’s barely fishable. But that’s part of what keeps streams like that such high quality.

I think I caught a little wild rainbow in a well known "put and take" stream that gets lake run fish as well. Also lots of bass, sunfish, carp etc. I always thought it got real hot in the summer but a kid there told me he fishes it all summer and has seen it around 59 degrees in July, so who knows? Its got parr marks too. Regular stocked rainbow for comparison. What say you experts?

Tail looks a touch more banged up on the bottom fish no? I see you are hiding the fly used on the holdover fish in pic #1 - pro-move!
