- Video of Michael Evanko fly fishing Ninemile Creek in Onondaga County, New York. This body of water is west of Syracuse and runs from its source at Otisco Lake almost 22 miles before emptying into Onondaga Lake. The water fished in the video is public water with all tackle regulations. There is a variety of wild and stocked brown trout in Ninemile Creek. This footage was shot over Memorial Day weekend 2017 and accompanied a blog post on the Wooly Bugged blog.
He's standing next to one of the oldest railroad's in North America, the 'Auburn Road'. It was pre-steam/coal driven. That entire hill he's standing in-front of is *man-made*.
Stop by the Martisco Railway Museum (that's open on weekends) up the road some time if you're in the area during summer.
The Fish Hatchery that stocks it is about 3 miles away down Route 321. Also tons of history and the same era as the Hover damn.
Where he's standing used to be Lyons Road that got closed about 10/15 years ago. It was a nightmare to drive in the winter time.
I grew up around the corner on Falls Rd. Miss this area. So beautiful . Took it for granted
@@raweslo11 I miss it too. I moved to Texas for work years ago. Utterly featureless. CNY is gorgeous in the spring/summer. We try to visit every year.
Totally agree. I live in Florida now . Parents and family still there so I visit when I can. Hopefully end of May when this pandemic crap is over
I have fished Ninemile many years. The small brown you caught is wild. They don't stock fish that small. Good video. Good production values.
My hometown. Grew up there and fished nine mile creek in a much different area: Running behind a bank of stores and Wegman's Supermarket off West Genessee Street. I'm 70 so that was in the early 60's. Fishing then was terrible. It definitely has been improved since my early teen years. Great video. Very well done and kept my interest throughout. You are a a very accomplished fly fisherman. Thanks for fishing my most memorable stream in Central NY.
Hey John, thanks for the comment. It's good to know that Ninemile has improved. I was amazed at the number of fish in there. I'd like to get back up there at some point to fish it again.
Always makes me smile to see fish returned gently to water great video 👍
I live about 5 miles from where your standing. Yes, Nine Mile Creek is EXCELLENT trout fishing! I've fly fished there many times. If you can work your way down stream for about a half a mile… There are plenty of nice holes to nymph at.
I've been meaning to get out to this creek, after watching this it looks like I'll be making plans soon. This is also pretty close to limestone and chittenango to make a day of it
You do a nice job with your videos. Folks like you are who make TH-cam such a great place. Keep them coming. I have started to produce some content.....and hope to get more up before to long.
Great to see Ninemile getting some run. You taped at the 2 most popular sites on the creek. I wonder if you hit the many other great spots from Otisco Lake to the Village of Camillus. Many miles of great fishing. The USA fly fishing team had a competition there this past weekend. I talked to a young fisher who caught 30 in less than an hour. He was using the Czech nymphing style. Check out their website. I didn't add them all up but it is close to, if not over 1,000 fish caught over the 2 days by America's best fly fishers.
I am pretty sure the first couple with the orange or reddish colored spots were wild trout. Great videos
Trout Bum I think you're right!
Trout Bum Most of the wild ones have red or orange spots and the stocked have black. The stockys also usually have stubbed fins. If they holdover they get alot better looking
You make some pretty nice videos. Quality production standards. You handle the fish almost perfectly and I really appreciate it that you practice C&R.
mike your videos are incredible, please keep them coming!
That fish you caught at 5:15 (ish) looks to be native. Based on size typically stocked fish are keeper size and he looked a little smaller than keeper size
The first spot you were fishin at is 1 of the stocking points..there is always a ton of stockies that in there..on the other side of that aqueduct are better holes.
First and third brown you caught were wild.
My hometown! Great vid at a great spot!
Andrew Alcott beautiful area!
Epic day of wild brownie fishing. BRAVO ZULU
Yes lots of scuds. I discovered that picking the green stuff off my nymph, they were a light grey. One day I was fishing a Usual and pulled it under to avoid a snag and fish swam out to nail it. I think they took it for a scud, so I use that tactic alot when fishing a Usual. Thanks, I subscribed. You have a recipe for your green scud?
Grew up fishing this creek. I usually go to that section at Martisco and you probably saw me there this year. The creek is loaded with brown and brook trout, carp, a few bass here and there and tons of tiger muskie. The tigers are stocked in Otisco Lake and come into the creek to feast on the dumb stockies. At 5:21 the markings on the fish are called paw marks and they mark a young fish. I would guess it was a wild trout because the smallest trout they stock are 1 year olds and they are normally a little bigger and more pale in color. The best way is to look at their stomach to see if it is white or golden color. If it is a golden color then they are wild or at least holdover fish. The scud dropper is a great move because the creek is absolutely filled with them
The fish at 9:30 is definitely wild or holdover. Anyways I love seeing videos of people fishing my home waters. I would love to see you try to pull out carp and tigers on the fly rod
And if you saw a bicycle at the access point that was mine hahaha
Matthew Dieffenbach thanks for all the nice comments Matt, I might have to come fish for the Tigers. What section are they found in?
You can find them throughout the whole creek. A lot of them are in the Martisco section, but even more are in the section between the Amboy dam and onondaga lake. You can also find some big carp, lake run browns and fish from Onondaga lake
And with regard to my first comment, they are parr marks, not paw marks lol
Thats awesome! I grew up fishing here.
Fly Guy Mike great place to grow up, it’s beautiful there.
All stocked trout in NY have a clipped back fin.
I love that spot, I've got some small rainbows right there. 9 mile gets so jam packed with people that I don't fish there much though.
I've fished 9 mile religiously and I have never caught a rainbow. I know they are in there though, but that's pretty cool that you've landed a few. I got a nice Brook in April this year. I usually go to skan/tully for bows.
There are definitely rainbows in 9 mile. i have caught several
Not true.....they aren't always fin clipped......
Wrong not all stocked trout are fin clipped. They don't clip fins here at the bath ny fish hatchery
nice video beautiful fishes thanks for sharing.
They do stock juvis in Nine Mile as well as breeders. But if you want larger you need to go more downstream towards the deeper slower water about a half a mile to two miles.
Beautiful water! Maybe not a bad idea to dead drift a streamer in some of those deeper holes. It wouldn't surprise me if there weren't some large Browns in there, especially if they're stocking
What’s the spot you started at? New to fly fishing and i live in the area! tight lines
Google Maps is your best bet to scan the creek and find the spot. There's plenty in this video that should clue you in to where he's at.
Go down across the old fishing shop, that's a great spot with a nice sized whole
that looks wild the only brook i caught were the light ones with spots wich are stocked i think
Mike the stockeys up here tend to have black spots and stubbed fins so i would say wild. And can you stop driving past my house to fish with no invite. i fish all 4 of those streams in that area. great water
Nick Harmon that's good info. No kidding you fish Ninemile too!
yea i live about an hour away i like fishing the Syracuse area they just stocked again last week check out the. carpenters brook hatchery website
Actually ur right, the stitctics are their more wild trout then the yrs before and now getting the ocationally rainbow I just read out of the dec website. So I appolige u where right.
Great vid thankyou beautiful water
nice that's my home terf only live 5 min away. It is loaded with huge tiger and muskie to the entire creek from lake to lake and huge bass in spring! Friend caught a 26 inch 8lb wild brown in there.
Careful, Nine Mile can get addictive, I've been going out there about once a week for the past month.
Triberius I believe that!
Triberius I'm over their every other day lol
first time i fished there i caught 2 rainbows ,i think they used to stock them over 10 years ago
We should meet up man! I love fishing especially there
How to tell the difference between a stock brown and a wild or native brown?
just there yesterday water was damn high
Was their the other day, do reall well down stream across from the shop their at the corner
Looks like a wild brookie
That little guy is a wild native brookie aka arctic char family
It's a brown......
Fish #3 looked like a Brookie to me. Had those Diamond shaped patches on the sides.
It's a brown......
what size hooks do you use for the flies?
NB Fisherman all different sizes, typically #14-#22
Looks like a good fish bear the fly at about 3:52
Yep! Native brownie!
Looks like some prime soft hackle water.
I've done a lot of fly fishing there, My go-tos are adams (I tie them "parachute), hare's ear nymphs and elk hair caddis. Lots of browns there, but I've caught a number of brookies as well.
Any salmon in here?
Not in that stream!
wild
Those spots are pounded until at least mid-June. Never liked this creek because the larger fish aren't in there. That green slimy seaweed type vegetation is a spin fisherman's nightmare. Weeds on every cast. Much prefer WNY streams like Cattaraugus and Wiscoy. Larger fish and not as many people to walk around. Your PA stocking program kicks NYS ass btw. Great video.
I agree. I do have to say that 9 mile holds a special place in my heart because it is where I learned to fly fish and it's only a 10 minute drive from where I live. I caught the creek at a slow time in May this year and i was the only guy out. Another fisherman came along on this gigantic creek, literally miles to cast, and he threw his line across my drifting fly line. I kid you not. Good way to ruin the day haha
@@AJSUMMA90 I hear ya on the ignorant fellow fisherman. They're like when you have a classic car and you park way away in a parking lot, then you come back out to your car and there's some clown parked right next to you with plenty of other parking spots they could have parked in. Can't stop people from being A-holes I guess :)
Fished it and four mile
This creek used to be amazing. Before all the euro goons and social media personas plastered it all over the Internet.
I didn’t know you owned it.
