| Small stream in fall should never be ignored |
On a recent trip out to the dentist’s office I found a brief
window of time to look in on a great little fishing spot that I hadn’t visited
for some time – Irondequoit Creek.
This small stream gem of a trout stream flows unimpeded from
its headwaters (which lie South of the throughway,) North for miles and miles
before emptying into Irondequoit bay and Lake Ontario.
It fishes really well at all times of the year for both resident
brown and rainbow trout, but during the fall it receives a push of lake run
fish that make the creek one of the only small streams in the Rochester area to
have both.
It’s small stream charm of overhanging branches and
tight quarters are not lost on this fishermen during the fall months when the
leaves are brightly colored and there are fish to be caught, no matter how much
time I have to catch them.

| The first of a handful of these little guys |
On this afternoon, for a short while, I found a few willing fish of both variety. But I had to work my way up to the lake run fish.

| A lake run that required more than one hand |
My teeth have been repaired and the pain that went with it
is now gone, but the visual wonder and feel of this small stream will linger.
And that is good!
