 New York State Resevoirs: Tricking Big Browns On The Fly
Posted by MCosta528 on Wednesday, March 19 @ 16:36:30 PDT
Ok, I fish the Resevoirs in New York State. Preferably Cross River Resevoir in Putnum County, New York. I want to start fly fishing the lake. The baits I've caught fish on imitate the crayfish, shiners, or sawbellies the largemouth, smallmouth, and brown trout consume. So what is stopping me from throwing on a clouser, or a deciever, or a wooly bugger? I want to know the lightest possible rod I can use to cast to these 3lb-8lb fish. Will a 6wt. do the trick? I already think I'm going to use a Teeny line, but maybe someone has another idea where a line can get down deep to depths of 15-30 ft. of water where these large fish are holding? I just want to have a really good time and enjoy my life with fishing the local areas by me. I like fishing the Salmon runs in the rivers by Lake Ontario, but that is far.
When I have a resevoir almost 45 min away its more tempting to go over there. Anyone who is fishing lakes for Brown Trout, Bass(small mouth and largemouth), and any other sort of deep water lakes please respond on some tips and tricks a young guy like me may not know yet. FYI I would like to mention that People can get access to the New York State Resevoirs by obaining a free Public Access Permit for these great fishing waters. With plenty of large fish. Kensico has brown and lake trout that exceed the 10lb, and have been caught at the 20lb range. The lakers get even bigger of course. However, I'd like to see more fly fisherman on these resevoirs, and maybe find a few fishing buddies. Post what you can, because I'd love to learn as much as I can. Thank You

But and 8wt might do to if you plan on hooking some giant fish. I suppose any bait fish immitaion would rock. Those browns are pretty aggressive. Do you have a boat or are you fishing from shore? Good luck take pictures when you get one of those pre-historic monsters. |
