- Video of Michael Evanko fly fishing Chittenango Creek in Madison County, New York. The Chittenango flows out of swampland in Fenner, New York and heads north, eventually dumping into Oneida Lake. This freestone stream holds a healthy population of wild brown trout. The state of New York also stocks hatchery raised brown trout to alleviate the fishing pressure on the wild fish. The water fished in this video is all accessible through Public Fishing Rights. A portion of the water fished is catch and release only. The water is easily found along Rt.13. This video was shot in early September 2017.
I grew up in Caz. We used to fish the Chittenango Creek with worms all the time with some success. It was always just a great time to be out exploring the area with friends. Now I’m in the Capital District area, and fish the Kinderhook Creek. I’ve been trying to get more experience with the fly rod, my casting leaves a lot to be desired.
It was good to see some of the old creek I used to frequent about 40 years ago. Thank you for the memories.
I am moving to Madison Cty. and won't be far from this stream at all. Nice video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Could you tell me if the first section you fished is above the falls? If not, is it below the falls but above the Catch And Release section?
I was fishing pretty close to there on the same day and i broke out my winter hat for the first time this year. Love Fall in New York!!!!
Tom H H it was chilly!
I love that creek. Reminds me of my favorite freestone stream in the Uinta Mountains in Utah. Lots of different water to read, runs, riffles, boulders, etc. That's what makes it fun not necessarily the size or quantity of fish. Thanks for the very entertaining video.
I grew up in Western NY and fished Dodge and Ischua creeks near Cuba and Franklinville, NY respectively. I don't know what ever became of those waters, pollution, construction, etc but at one time did hold numerous Browns and Brookies. It's a ways but would love to see you get out that way. October is great. And maybe take an 8-9 wt and pull streamers for pike and Muskie right in downtown Olean.
Nice that you are showing the flies, makes your video a lot more interesting. John K in N , CA
John Kinsfather thanks John, I appreciate the nice comment!
This video shows how much technique goes into fishing. Of course, my biggest AJ was around 45#, so I'm not too sure how the big boys would fight. On the Gulf Coast, we have big gag grouper that fight harder than any AJ for the first couple seconds after you hook them.
Mike i see your back in the area. Check out Butternut Creek next time its the same as 9mile and Chittenango also close by.
Nick Harmon thanks for the tip Nick!
So ready for steele with the cool weather we been having. Nice video bro
And what's great about most of the small streams my way this time of year is you've pretty much got the streams to yourself. I've not done any stream videos yet. I have a habit of slipping and falling on the rocks and afraid to break my camera.. lol
Ralph Barton thanks Ralph! I can't wait to chase big fish!
Thank you this is a beautiful stream and an interesting video!
Jon Burgo thanks Jon, I appreciate the nice comment!
Come a little further east to the West Canada Creek. It has what they call the "Trophy Section"
Nice video and nice creek.
Thank you!
Really good and informative video. I have some fam off of beaver kill NY been meaning to fish them a visit lol
1st trout was wild. The next two were stocked. Stockers will not have a white pronounced ring around their spots and will also not have colored spots most of the time.
Jay Gold thanks for the thoughts Jay!
Hey bro another great video
Everything Flyfishing thanks for the nice comment!
Starting in 2021 DEC will no longer stock over wild populations.
Have not been there yet, ninemile is 5 min from me ,just started fly fishing it for muskie it's loaded with tigers!
Great video!!!!
Looks wild usually the stockies are lighter with less color
Mike I was going to fish Chittenango Creek the same day but ended up going to Limestone in Fayetteville. I fish Chittenango quite often and is my favorite within the area. How long are you in town for?
RawJuiceFishing hi Raw Juice, I was only in town for the day, but enjoyed seeing the area! Beautiful water!
That spot at 9:30 that you lost that good fish, I lost a few very good ones on that same spot and stretch, recently too. Glad to see you give Chitt a try! If you happen to come back, let me know and would love to help you find that 16"-20" brown that do live there! PS. Salmon River is starting to fire up!
RawJuiceFishing thank RJF, I appreciate the invite! Next time I'm in town I'll look you up.
Any time bud, keep up the good work and tight lines!
Hey man great videos! I am new to New York and new to trout fly fishing. I just picked up a fly rod set up from Troutfitter and some flies to get me started, I was watching your videos and see you use a dropper rig. I had a question about that rig, is that pretty much a standard set up for you with an indicator above and if so any insight on what size line and best set up for that rig? Thanks!
Kyle Metzger first off, thanks for watching and welcome to the fly fishing game. Careful, you'll get addicted! So to start out nymphing under the surface, the easiest set-up is this. Get a 9-10' rod in the 4-6wt range. Get a reel and weight forward floating line that matches the rod weight. Buy a tapered prepackaged 9'-5X leader and some 5X tippet. Put the leader on your fly line, add 24" of tippet. Tie on the first nymph. Then tie a second piece of 5X tippet off the hook bend to a second nymph. Add an indicator and position it to 1-1/2 times the water depth you are fishing. Then add weight as needed above or between the nymphs. Now your fishing like me.
Wooly Bugged thank you for the information, headed out soon to try my luck.
Kyle Metzger let me know how you make out!
lol funny seeing you here
alot of grouses around there
Good to know!
@@WoolyBugged when you hear a light and small motor sound in the woods thats 100% a grouse
Family has house on Chittenango Creek. Been fishing there over 20 years. Just caught 28" catfish last summer. Hoping for northern, or walleye this year!
