Local wild Premier water - 3/21/26

Made the hour drive to the Wiscoy. I had a few hours before the rain and found some fish willing to eat during that time. I was fishing the deeper runs with euro nymphs and connected with several healthy trout int he 15-16" class. 

Fished a local tributary - 3/14/26

This time of year you can find migratory rainbows and steelhead in the Lake Ontario tribs. Some of these tribs have year round populations of wild brown trout which was my quarry for the day. This chrome net- filler was a surprise as I wasn't targeting them.
