Brown Trout
While Ballston Spa isn't a renowned brown trout destination, determined anglers can find opportunities in the Kayaderosseras Creek (locally known as the 'Kaydeross') and its tributaries. This creek system offers a mix of stocked and holdover brown trout. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are prime times, coinciding with stocking and spawning runs. Access to the Kaydeross is relatively easy along Route 29, but be mindful of private property. Wading can be challenging due to the creek's rocky bottom and fluctuating water levels, so felt-soled boots are recommended. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait are effective, but fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can also be productive in the riffles and pools. The browns here aren't known for their size, but the chance to catch a wild or holdover trout in a scenic setting makes it worthwhile.
