I fished the spring creeks area of butternut on Saturday(I believe that's the name of it) south of syracuse, what a beautiful little spring creek trout stream. I didn't have much success, but to be honest, I am not much of a fisherman compared to some of the guys on the board. I did however hook up with a 12+ inch trout, but it was for about a 1/2 a second, I saw him flash as he spit the fly out while I was twitching the rod tip to get the heavy wolly bugger 'unstuck' from the bottom. Little did I know that on this 3000th bottom snag, it was actually a fish! So guys, keep that in mind, it is never the bottom, and always treat it like a fish. Because that twitch probably cost me my largest trout ever. (I usually fish very small brooks in Maine for 8"-10" brookies)
Anyway, thought I would write a report, it was a great time, and I did see a few more signs of fish all day, two rises, and one big splash. Other than that, it was 6 hrs on the river, with one hit. But hey, it was March 22nd!
