Saturday afternoon I hit the Mill River TMA. Arrived at the parking lot just before 3pm and headed straight for the honeyhole.
When I got to the honeyhole I noticed thin ice had formed with all the cold weather we've been getting. There was 1 area of open water that is usually a good spot. Tried throwing a few Husky Jerks and a brown trout Flat Rap FLR-6 but had no luck.
Saw 2 young men fishing there too with 2 throwing salmon eggs but they had no luck either.
Later 2 fishermen came as I was leaving the honeyhole. Both threw nightcrawlers and later found out that they hit a few native brookies around 10".
I went farther downstream where I stuck with the Husky Jerks and also tried bottom bouncing a 1/8 ounce marabou but had no luck.
Casted with a glass minnow HJ-8 in deeper open water on the Lake Mohegan side of where the Mill River feeds in but never saw anything.
Hit the road just after 5pm.
1 or 2 more weeks and I'll be there!!! |

Micheal,
good to hear you keep on tryin
when i fish the TMA up this way i use shiners on a minnow rig. crimp the barbs which is mandatory anyway,if there are any browns in the water will hit that. i can usually manage to land a few on each trip. i fish em kinda like a lure twitching them a little or reeling them nice and slow across current
