"Crick Fishin"

Nope, That's the bridge in Clark Mills in the 50's!  My Dad's side of the family, has lived there from the time they got off the boat in the 1800's.  I learned to fish from the same spots they all did...

Too windy to fish a lake, pond or river so I took the advice and went crick fishing. Brought my oldest son to a new crick. It's been a couple years. Brought tears to my eyes and blood to every exposed and even unexposed piece of skin. Tried to get to a couple nice pools and encountered thorns, brambles and other forms of nature. Doubled back twice and never made it to where the fish were. Between stifled screams of pain I noticed how nice and quiet it was. Very peaceful.   

Will try again next weekend.

It's "A  Fine and Pleasant Misery" for sure.

Sometimes it's worth every drop of blood.

It's a tough time of year to try and fish most cricks for sure. The one's I fish can only really be fished 4/1 til June. The brush gets so thick that it loses it's enjoyment.

My roots take me back to growing up along the Tonawanda Creek between Batavia and Alexander.  Lots of big pike, medium sized smallies and rough fish to keep you occupied.   Been a bunch of years since I have been back there.

I say you go hit it. Since this thread got going I have hit two of the places that I used to fish in my childhood days. Good feeling man.

I've fished the Tonawanda and the Catt and Buffalo and a few others that I'm not even sure have a name. Spent quite a lot of time in Genesee and Wyoming counties.

I really like the Tonawanda between Sierks and Varysburg.

I too grew up fishing a small creek and my mother taught me the first poem I ever memorized.  " Fishy, fishy in the brook, papa catch you on the hook.  Mama fry you in the pan.  Baby eat you like a man."  I think I was about four.  That was a long time ago.  Thanks for bringing back that memory.

Great lil poem there. Never herd it before. It's great to hit small waters. My son and I have been hitting the Old Erie Canal out around Kirkville and Chittenango. Lots of small sunnies and a couple smallies. Great, quiet scenery. Sometime I think I hear a mule pullin a barge on the tow path. My grandmother grew up on the bank or the EC when it went through Syracuse.
