Fly Fishing New York: Adirondack Brook Trout

Fly Fishing New York
New York Small Stream

While back in New York, the roof project took up most of my time as we worked 6 days a week and most time finished up about dark. On Sunday we all took a break, and after a heavy rain had soaked the thirsty soil, I opted to use what little energy I had left visiting a small, wild brook trout stream not far from my house.

Fish were hanging out in their usual summer haunts. So I didn’t waste much time with the skinny water, but instead focused on deeper pools and faster foam lines. I fished casually and found myself taking many breaks and sitting on rocks. Watching the water skip around rocks and flow downstream, I enjoyed the peacefulness of the dark woods and solitude.

      Thanks Kyle. Maybe someday we’ll take a trip back that way and spend some time fishing the Adirondacks. So much water and so little time.

    Wild brookies – so pretty. Looks like some beautiful water. The roof looks great too, by the way.

      Thanks Kirk. There is so much running water in upstate NY it makes me sick. Still can’t believe I live in the middle of the desert.

    Ben,
    Glad you had a chance to get on some good NY water while you were back here. Nice way to top off a work project. Inspires me to get back to the ADK again before the summer expires… ah, the water, oh the lack of time… Thank you.

      Thanks Walt. The Dacks are an unbelievable place with a very sacred feeling to them. I love every chance I can get back there.
