Brown Trout
While Schenectady isn't typically the first place that comes to mind for brown trout fishing, the Schoharie Creek, a tributary of the Mohawk River, offers a surprisingly good opportunity for anglers seeking these beautiful fish. The creek is stocked with brown trout, and some holdover fish can reach impressive sizes. Spring and fall are the prime times to target brown trout, with the cooler water temperatures triggering increased activity. During the spring, focus on areas with recent stocking, while in the fall, look for trout staging in deeper pools before winter. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or minnows. Fly fishing can also be effective, especially during hatches. Access to the Schoharie Creek is available through various public access points along its banks. Be aware of water levels, as the creek can fluctuate rapidly after rain. The brown trout in the Schoharie Creek are generally known for their vibrant colors and willingness to take a well-presented lure or fly.
