My Grandfather's Water
…Never frustrated, never in a hurry he would work the water with a swinging fly, then a dry fly and he would catch trout with a smile or if one got off prematurely, he would laugh. So I would watch and gather ideas for the next stop because this was only the beginning. We would fish another spot after lunch…

That's why the stream shouldn't be stocked or at the very least a 2 or 3 mile special reg area of catch and release only fishing. It's sad Ninemile gets stocked with so many fish each year.

Joe:

- Now you know why myself and others want the DEC to quit stocking over the wild trout in this stream, and implement catch and release regulations.

- Imagine being able to catch and release 20, 30, 40 or more of these wild fish per 8 hour day, on a regular basis. Such is the true potential of Nine Mile Creek.

- Unfortunately, I am moving back to Pennsylvania next Thursday (April 15th), so not much more I can do here in NY, other than pass the torch to you.

OK, I'm convinced. I'm ashamed to admit it but I haven't fished 9mile. I've had such good success fishing Limestone and Chitt that I haven't ventured west to fish. So where would be a good spot to start?
Thanks

Re: Ninemile by John Winkler (JW) on Sun, Apr 4 (46939)
Has the stocking or catch and release issue come up at any chapter TU meetings? I travel for work during the week and I am not able too make the meetings which are usually mid-week. But I do have a good contact at the national office. If you all think we can build momentum for c and r regulations I am game and would see what kind of national support we can get.
