My wife and I fished the Amawalk Outlet and Croton East Branch yesterday.
We fished only a short section in the downstream from Wood Street bridge in Amawalk Outlet.
The stream flow and water temperature are good even in summer.
It seems each pockets of water hold a fish or two, though most of them are tiny.
We failed to hook many, but we caught a few small brown trouts.
This stream has plenty of small fish and is beautiful. It is surrounded by many tall trees.
I caught one brown trout . It seemed yesterday the trouts were in hiding although the water temperature and the flow were okay.
A spin fisherman, fishing some distances from my wife upstream, caught a monster-size fish with his minnow lure.
He told my wife it was a walleye and the largest one he had ever caught in the East Branch. My wife took some pictures and scaled it at least 27 inches long, 6-7 lbs.
When I saw the fish in the pictures, I was really amazed by its size. I have never seen such a big fish there except carps, and I have fished there over 20 years.
Just a thought: This monster-size walleye probably ate a lot of trouts. Thanks to Walter, it is gone!
