Fishing Butternut Creek: One Week before Opening Day, March 26, 2018

No news, is news. Today we fished the year round section of Butternut Creek in Lafayette, New York North of Route 20.

Last year at this time, these areas were stocked. You could see fish everywhere. Today, I had on the polarized sunglasses and didn't see fish anywhere. Another major difference between this time last year and now is more snow had melted. So the water was higher. 


Just in case there was a fish hiding somewhere, I rigged two ultra light poles. One with a small Panther Martin spinner and the other with a Prichard Baits Mayfly Nymph. I walked the bank at the location on Route 20 then went to the Weller Road location. Both areas were barren. Look for a (hopefully) more exciting opening day post.
