Cool video! I used to fish Monomoy and Chatham back in the 90s. Hardly ever seen any seals. Things have changed indeed. Reeled in some decent stripers! Best of luck!
@@TheUnknownAngler Albies may be early this year.Bonita are showing up. 12 + years ago albie run in Rhide Island was incredible. Early August. Time will tell.
Used to live in Camilus and was never impressed with Nine mile in my 3 years there and comparatively to other spots in NY, Syracuse area is disappointing for browns. Ratio is 10- 9" stockers : every 1 that's over 14". Local fishers pound the crap out of that creek. You can see footpaths till july. Moved back to western new york, with the Wiscoy, Eastcoy, Cattaraugus and clear creek and never went back to the syracuse streams even for a visit, since. Big turn off to nine mile is the slime covered rocks after mid-june, the carp in the stream and the constant cloudy colored water. If you like early season, 'fish-in-a-barrel' stocker fishing, that's the creek for you. Great video.
@@fredfarkel2990 So I can't disagree with anything you have said. The put and take stocking is not my thing either. I will say to it's credit nine mile is a pretty creek and chock full of brookies. The brookies seam to be native. I do love and have fished all the creeks you've mentioned.
hey, thanks for the video. i think i saw the pattern for it in an old issue of fly fisherman. i love where you were fishing, is it along "the trail" ? do you usually change the placement of your indicator to account for water depth or do you keep at a set length most of the time ? thanks again !
Yes, and I constantly change the placement of the strike indicator, the new oros indicators make it easy. Rule of thumb is 1 1/2 x depth of water you're fishing.
@@TheUnknownAngler thanks for the info, i always seem to wonder how far up to place it. never too keen on indicators (used to use those darn sticky ones) takes all the fun out of casting for me.
First fly I tied early 70’s in a fly tying club at Spry Junior HS in Webster NY a short drive from Carl Coleman’s fly shop. Club was run by a guidance counselor named Mr Tabor. With the hard as nails the fly was virtually indestructible. I have fished it up and down the East coast with a lot of luck. I thought we added a drop of hard as nails to the wing case but after 50 years maybe my memory is a bit off. Thanks!
Rick Tabor I'm assuming went to Cape Cod with him just before he passed. The simple marabou streamer is one of his patterns. Great guy worked at the store for years.
@@TheUnknownAngler thanks, have to give it a try ! I just took off my Denver Rod vault on the roof rack after 5 yr. The door hinges finally wore out and not about to spend another $5-600 on a new one.
It gets really tough when the canal gets filled but if you can find them under mulberry trees they'll take a mulberry fly or ice cream stores like bushnells basin people feed them ice cones you can usually coax them into eating.
When I first fished the Cape, before our annual trip, the big bar was loaded with funnels and hungry fish. Glad to here it is back to the old structure. 👍 Fond memories fishing with Joe and the Easter Egg hatch and the pickle fly.
Glad I found this. I've been trying to locate a good freshwater striper leader for throwing 2/0 clousers on floating line in a small/med slowish river setting. I like the fact I can leave it at 20lb due to all the timber in the river.
maybe sometime in the future you could show how to tie that famous coleman nymph. i have been tying that scud since the mid eighties only i don't use the hackle, i just "pick out "the pink dubbing
My buddy has a place up there near the two upper Delaware branches which offer lots of places to fish within a short drive. Everyone knows this so we want to check into other places just as you are demonstrating for us. Perfect timing for this topic. Thanks!
This is a great channel. Last fall lost a cow out front on the Atlantic Ocean rugged beach. My perfection loop failed on me, because the fished was bouncing my fly line against the rocks. It was painful and I won’t get over it. So 50lb butt and 30 from now on!!
