were the 2 stops this week.
Got there after fishing a low and clear Elk on Friday to near perfect conditions at Chautaqua. The fishing was really good, but as I left I saw a large group, so I knew the weekend was gonna get crowded, which it did.
That night Steve arrived with 2 friends from the trout club and we prepared for Olcott in the morning where we were going to meet Dan and Sean.
Getting there a little late we still managed to get good spots and Steve, Dan, and Sean across the creek had instant success and caught a lot of really nice browns during this day. I was focused on getting one of the guests into some fish and she managed to get into some real beauties. (Not including their names without their approval). I did manage a few and lost the salmon of the year at the net.
The following morning we went to Chautauqua and met with low water and not a lot of fish. Dan picked one up, I did, the male guest did and that was about it. We got to my favorite hole and Steve lost a beaut, and I do mean a beaut, at my fave spot above 90. I hooked a nice one that Steve and I double teamed until it shook the hook after a 15 min battle royal.
Great weekend, great guests, great food and drink and in all a wonderful weekend in NY. Maybe one of my funnest times ever.
Left my card reader adapter at the cabin, pics later.
