Float Trips

Have you ever found yourself yearning for the perfect fishing spot, a place where you can escape the crowds and immerse yourself in pristine waters teeming with fish? Look no further than a well-known central NY creek, where our spring and summer have been nothing short of magical. With serene floats and exceptional fishing, we’ve been covering a lot of water, and the results have been incredible. Let’s dive into our recent adventures and share some tips for both seasoned anglers and those just starting out.

A Serene Angler’s Paradise

This West Canada Creek, a true gem, has provided us with unparalleled fishing experiences this spring and summer. Most days, we find ourselves alone on the water, surrounded only by nature and the promise of an exciting catch. The solitude enhances the experience, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The creek’s scenic beauty, combined with the thrill of the catch, makes every outing unforgettable.

The Bounty: Brown Trout Galore

The creek’s bounty has been truly impressive, with incredible brown trout ranging from 12 to over 20 inches. These fish have been the highlight of our outings, offering both a challenge and a reward for our efforts. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, the opportunity to hook into these magnificent trout is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Techniques that Deliver: Soft Hackles and Streamers

Our success on the water can be attributed to a few tried-and-true techniques. Swinging soft hackles with a trout spey rig has produced some thrilling grabs, especially in medium flows. The swinging presentation of these flies often triggers aggressive strikes from hungry trout. The excitement of feeling that first tug on the line, knowing a hefty brown is on the other end, is a sensation that never gets old.

In high water conditions, the streamer bite has been phenomenal. Casting streamers into the currents and retrieving them with varying speeds has enticed some impressive fish to strike. The visual aspect of streamer fishing, watching a trout chase and engulf the fly, adds an adrenaline rush to the experience.

The Versatility of Dry/Dropper Rigs

For those who enjoy the visual delight of dry fly fishing, floating along the creek with dry/dropper rigs has been equally productive. The dry fly serves as an indicator while the nymph or emerger below tempts fish feeding subsurface. This technique combines the best of both worlds, allowing anglers to target fish in different feeding zones.
