Found a new spot today.

We got these beauties out of a spot on Ninemile that is nearan old mill and was until just recently, posted. the last 2 that I got were wild natural born trout.

now up to 453 fish and they're starting to hit worms.

For Browns and brookies, We use mostly salted minnows. Towards the mid season starting in late july, we start using more garden worms. My rod is a medium action ugly stick, with a quantum spinning reel. I have an ultra light shakespeare but I find that the ugly stick is actually more sensative. This year, I'm gonna try to find some of the more elusive native rainbows. The owner of a tackle shop near by says that their numbers are up lately.
This will actually be the first year that we break the 300 trout mark in less than 2 months. We're currently up to 296, and I'm going tonight.

This is me

Yup, that's me, and that's a salmon. It was a beauty Jack that I got at 6 am on our first day out in Michigan. When I said I'm non judgemental, that doesn't include snaggers. You can get King salmon to bite in the rivers. Snagging is illegal.

Average joe trout fisherman

Hi, and welcome to my blog. I am Jake. I am an accomplished trout fisherman in central NY. I fish Nine Mile creek with my father and usually do pretty well. I am not a snobby trout fisherman, I am a bait using spin fisherman. I practice catch and release but I don't look down upon keeping a couple for dinner sometimes. Here's a few we've gotten so far in 2009.
