I fished Chittenango Creek for the first time this season after work today.  It was an afternoon of good size brown trout.  I caught five fish in total, three were 12" or better and one was about 16".  This was quite a different experience than Ninemile Creek.  There was not another person to be seen and every fish I caught was bigger than the fish that I've pulled out of Ninemile so far this year.  I'll definitely be heading back to Chittenango! The browns are still hammering the bead head nymphs.  Here's a couple photos of two fish (none of the biggest fish unfortunately) and the bug that's been the drug for the trout so far this spring.

About Ken Hubbard

I grew up in Pulaski, NY fishing the Salmon River and Grindstone Creek primarily. Stream and river fishing is where it is at for me. Hiking through the woods to get to that perfect spot and hearing the water rush by while waiting for the big guy to take the fly has a calming influence that I haven't experienced anywhere else. While I certainly enjoy casting to bass and trolling for walleye, salmon and trout, I would put on the waders, grab the fly rod and head for the river any day given the choice. Now that I have lived in the Syracuse area for the past 6 years, I have expanded my territory to local trout streams like Chittenango Creek and Nine Mile Creek. I still regularly fish my home waters and have also fished in Wyoming, Montana, Utah and of the coast off southern California. The list of fishing destinations I would like to (and more often than not, believe that I need to) visit include Argentina, New Zealand, British Columbia and Alaska to name a few!
