Fly Fishing Finger Lakes Region NY " Waterfalls and Wild Browns"

Explored one of my favorite little wild brown streams in the Finger Lakes Region of NY. This is a tributary to one of the finger lakes but I am fishing above an impassable falls to a small wild population of browns that inhabit this pretty little stream that goes from steep waterfalls to a gentle pastoral section. Had plenty of action, enjoy!

You make phenomenal content. It’s unreal to me that you don’t have ten thousand plus followers. Better content than most anglers on KZbin. Please keep it up, I’m glad to have stumbled across your page.

Only Finger Lakes tributary stream I've ever fished was the Keuka Lake outlet to Seneca Lake. Used a fly rod with black wooly buggers fished a big pool below the first big falls caught fish on every cast mostly nice fat rock bass and a rainbow trout. One thing I remember was seeing the largest spider I've ever seen in the wild..a large 'dock spider' right by my foot the darn thing with leg span would have covered a good portion of the palm of my hand. Be that as it may..a very fun place to fish.

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

Yes I have fished the outlet a couple times. I have also seen many of those huge dock spiders, they are quite big for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting!

You mention that you have to do some extensive research to find these wild streams in finger lakes area. What are some of the resources and websites you can recommend?

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

I use a combination of books, DEC website, word of mouth, youtube vids, maps, etc.

[@michaelcapurso]

Well done thanks for sharing. Interesting stream, the stream bed does not look like a typical freestone. Looks to be mainly solid rock. Hows the bug life?

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

Thanks man! It is mostly shale bottom. There are some areas of rubble/cobble. Not too much for bugs but there were some caddis poppin the day I fished it. Only saw one fish rising.

Why is it always the big ‘uns that throw the hook? I guess that’s why they’re big ‘uns! Survive-ability! Great job man, nice video 👍🏻

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

I know. The one below the big falls was a solid fish... He'll still be there next time I hope!! Thanks so much for watching an commenting!

[@nickyengle9668]

cool creek

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

thanks yeah it is a cool little creek!

[@rivermanoutfitters572]

We fish here

[@zachmichel9157]

Dude, I've fished this spot before and saw no signs of trout, just sunfish... and some pipe pumping what smelled like raw sewage into the creek.

[@deaddriftoutdoors2940]

Yeah I was surprised the first time I fished it I only caught chubs but had a feeling there might trout. Then I caught a nice 16" brown below the waterfall and was pretty excited.
