The smaller fish was a stocker, based on its size and appearance. I've hit the Erie tribs (unintentionally) shortly after a DEC stocking and have caught fish of that same size/color by the dozens. Their coloring looks a bit more checkered when they're that size (6-8 inch range is 99% a stocked hatchery fish). Any luck on the jig w/shad setup? Looks like everything you banked was caught on an egg sack, but was curious if you had any hits on the plastic shad.
That’s good to know thanks for sharing with me! I don’t think I had any luck this day with the jig and shad. But it has worked pretty well for me in the past especially at Canadaway creek if you have fished there.
@@OfficialCreekGeek I've hit Canadaway a few times, but usually fish the Catt when it's not blown out (this year water levels are low, WNY is 2-3 inches below normal for rainfall). Plain old beads and double bead setups work well in the Catt, 8mm is usually best. Try raw/peeled small to medium sized shrimp on your hook, under a float, in those creeks...I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well they work.
Do they close off sections over there? Cause seems like you guys over there always make a killing every trip, over here on the canada side lake o tribs most of the tribs are closed from a certain section until trout opener. Need to move over there lol 😂
We have a few creeks that have sections that are only open to catch and release. The thing that is harder out here is that most parts of creeks are private property, so you gotta find the public parts or get permission…
Well I recognize that spot haha. The video is on my channel if you want to see what it looks like upstream. The scenery is epic up there but the best fishing is actually down where you were below the skinny water. We only saw a few fish up above that section. Cool place!
I need to tie up some egg colored jigs along with the olive black and white. Shades of orange and pink maybe peach
Get to it! The Salmon, steelhead, and browns will be running soon out there in Ny. Black, white, and olive jigs are always good to have.
Beautiful. Not only the beauty of the great outdoors but, nice fishing too. Well done. Good luck in future.
It was the coolest place I’ve ever fished for steelhead. Thanks, tight lines🎣
Nice video!!! I would have had to have gone up!! Just to do it!! Amazing how those fish make it so far up.
It is pretty crazy they go for miles! Thanks for the support🎣
Great vid man nice footage and nice fish, that little one did look like a wild rainbow! Looks like a pretty place to fish! Keep these vids coming 🎣
Thanks for watching that far! It was a nice little surprise of a fish. Tight lines🎣
awesome video man ✌ the intro was insane 😲
Thanks Bill! It was a long hike in, I wasn’t expecting that path I was on…
Great video! You did very well float fishing and keeping that rod tip high for good hookups.
Thanks Scott, I’ll continue to use the float set up everyone once in a bit.👍🏼
Great video
Thanks! Tight lines out there🎣
Same to you guys 💪👍🎣🎥🍺
The devils backbone
That’s a good name for it!
@OfficialCreekGeek I know where you were. It's been called that for a long time. Tight lines bud.
@blueaggie64 Well cool! I guess I’ve been there then😅 Tight lines🎣

You’re the first one to recognize it haha. It is an amazing spot to fish with the scenery and everything.
The CATT?
It’s not the Catt. this is a small tributary of Lake Erie.
is this hb ridge?
I don’t know what hb ridge is…so no it is not.
Idk how dude kept any of those fish pinned since he didnt even set the hook on any lol. Especially with mono
It was definitely beginners luck hahaha.
