    creek query

    Took a ride through the Catskills yesterday, and drove by "Catskill Creek". It really looked awesome with plenty of easements. Anyone ever fish it? Can you parlay some knowledge my way?

    There's lots of water up there, drove by 3 other famous creeks too and 1 that's supposed to be a real sleeper (Charlotte Cr). Can't wait till the season opens in NY. I see many road trips coming this year.

    Thanks

    Re: creek query

    Looked it up Catskill Creek in one of my books, here's the summary:
    NY state has 20 miles of public fishing rights on the creek. There are wild rainbows, stocked browns, and wild browns. The rainbows run small, with 12" a good one, but they are quite numerous. The browns occasionally reach really large sizes, a 29" fish is mentioned in the book. Also a brook trout over 20" above a dam was caught there. Upper creek averages 20 feet wide, and in good years has as many as 86 pounds of trout per surface acre- that's a lot. 7,000 browns are stocked throughout the creek, and 350 are larger 2 Year Olds.

    As far as Charlotte Creek, all I can tell you is that it's stocked with about 6,000 browns, and the book's author doesn't feel it's worth the drive from a major metropolitan area.

    Re: creek query

    I have fished Catskill Creek a few years back. The information that NM posted is accurate. They stock it quite well http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/23320.html and typically earlier than other Cskill streams. It has popular sections for the early season "put and take" crowd but later on it gets little attention. It is part of the hudson river estuary system and if a 29" fish came from there it was probably down lower in the system in water you wouldn't generally target with a flyrod. It is however, one of my favorite spots for walleye.
    Got Elsinore?
