East Koy Creek 4 18 2008

April 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in East Koy Creek, Oatka Creek, WNY Fishing, WNY Water Flow

Fished in Gainesville on Friday, since the Oatka was elbow to elbow in the trail section. (Amazing what 70 degree temperatures combined with the kids being off from school will do.)

The water in East Koy was in great shape, and there was bug activity for sure. Not heavy hatches or anything, but they were moving around. I had two nice strikes drifting an American march Brown just under the surface below me, but both fish missed.

It’s kind of a phone booth in that section (to borrow a Richard Brautigan term), but roll casting and paying close attention gets the job done. I was only able to spend a few hours on the water, as work still takes precedence, but it was very nice to be back out there.

Missing and Presumed Lost: East Koy Creek

I don’t know Pete Collins, but if his business is any indication of the man, I’d probably like him.  He’s an outdoorsman and a consultant in forestry management.   Also, apparently, he builds his own spinners, similar to Panther martins.  I like that about him too, considering I’m an avid fly tyer.

Well, as it happens, Pete was fishing the East Koy a week or so ago, and left behind a box of home made spinners.  Which is really a shame.  So if you picked them up, enjoy.  And if you read Pete’s post, he thinks you might want to share the wealth.

I haven’t fished the East Koy since I moved out to Rochester.  Have to put that on my to do list this year.
