I was in the Finger Lakes area of New York this past weekend and had the chance to fish a tributary of one f the lakes. I was hopping for lake run browns or landlocked salmon. It was too early for the fall runs from the lake. Fortunately for me there were resident trout in the creek. The trout were small and selective. The water was gin clear and the creek was small, about as wide as one lane on a road at the widest and about a foot wide at its narrowest point. The banks were over grown and there was a lot of wood in the water requiring precision casting. The only fly that was attractive to the fish was a small muddler minnow. here are pictures of the two trout I caught.
