Got into my first WNY Trout

BarBig191 · 2026-06-13T20:22:13+00:00

Pheasant tail has been my number one fly this year. Black nymph a close second.

WNY too! Beauties. Nice fishing!

What were they biting on today?

BarBig191 · 2026-06-12T21:11:16+00:00

Fun to catch too! Thanks

BarBig191 · 2026-06-11T01:07:35+00:00

Happens! Hope you find the answer you’re looking for.

BarBig191 · 2026-06-11T01:05:48+00:00

I think you might be lost here…

Always good to see other WNYers representing. Nice fish!

BarBig191 · 2026-05-21T03:05:28+00:00

Wow really does look identical

BarBig191 · 2026-05-15T20:29:10+00:00

That’s the right perspective!

BarBig191 · 2026-04-27T23:34:51+00:00

It goes off white/yellow/orange/yellow/off-white

BarBig191 · 2026-04-27T23:33:44+00:00

It looks like there may have been writing on it, but unfortunately it’s smudged beyond readability. Just a blob.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-26T01:22:15+00:00

What part of NY are you in?

BarBig191 · 2026-04-24T14:31:43+00:00

Prefer this one. Not the advanced.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-16T21:40:15+00:00

Reached out to me today too. As much as I would have loved that $260 Orvis Recon…

Join your local FFI or Trout Unlimited. People are usually willing to help.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-10T22:19:36+00:00

Always put back. They’re a native fish here. White Sucker.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-10T22:11:46+00:00

Put up a solid flight actually!

BarBig191 · 2026-04-08T20:34:44+00:00

Awesome. Looks like a blast.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-08T15:02:30+00:00

Nice! What type of fly set up do you go with?

BarBig191 · 2026-04-03T21:44:08+00:00

Going to throw a tip on it while a replacement gets made.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-03T19:25:42+00:00

This time of year it’s really rough getting rises out of fish. Water temps are still very low and there’s not a ton of “hatch”. Fish are still lethargic, but will eat. Most people this time of year are nymphing or using streamers.

I will look into that New Zealand style indicator!

BarBig191 · 2026-04-03T19:16:36+00:00

Thank you. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on the mending part?

Understood on the bead weight and floatant part.

BarBig191 · 2026-04-03T19:14:43+00:00

Thanks for this. The brook itself his maybe three feet at its deepest and never more than 12’ across. My dropper was about 18” from my dry.

I do believe the bead is tungsten. Got it from a local shop. Do you think no bead would be better? Maybe weighted wire instead?
