PerchInc.'s stretch of Mohawk 7/20

I had a lot of fun in this little stretch of Mohawk in Cohoes. Nothing that big, but plenty of action.  I got there just before a storm, and the smallies were hitting, got about 6 or 7 in before the rain hit.  After that the smallie bite tailed off, I only got one more. I even got a small walleye. The white bass, a species I don't see much, were slamming in the rain.  I must have caught a dozen and a half of them in about an hour and a half.
Finally I got sick of being in the rain and bailed.
Caught a few of the smallies on Senkos and all other fish on roostertails and vibrax's.  Perch, thanks for the idea, man.  Hope to hook up out there soon.

I'm headed to this spot Wed.9/3 after work if anyone would like to join US!!! That's if we don't make it to Burden lake!!

Headed there TODAY!!!!!!!!! Anyone like to Join us??????

NNY should be at the spot at 415pm !! I sent you a PM!!

NNY, It was A GREAT Day!!!! We did have FUN!!! Too bad them carp did go after my son! LOL!!!! I would have LOVED to see him running on water again!!! We MUST do it again soon!!! Next time we can try behind the U-Haul it not too bad there eather!! That was the first time I tried my fly rod in the river, I will be using it again!! It was a BLAST!!! Just need some better flies!! I'm on afternoons starting Sat. 9/6 we can hit the river in the AM!! Call me!!

Stopped today before work, Fly Fished for an 1hr. had at least 25 hits landed 15 or so!! What a great DAY!!!! But then I had to go to work!! Hay work's NOT that bad!!!! I work to fish and hunt!!! PS: Them River Smallies are one fighting FISH!!!!! I know I said it before!!! TOO Bad!!!

Behind the uhaul place is awesome . Saw an osprey diving there 2 weeks ago . TONS of smallies . Did you ever go to the spot just before the rapids ? there is a "shelf" you can walk out on and fish the deep water . It can get sick there just before dark . The walk back sucks in the dark though . 

Hit the river about 5pm today took me a little bit but I found some action!! Landed two about 14" and 20 or so smaller ones all on my fly rod!!! It's funny how many years I didn't use my fly rod but not any more!!! It will be in my truck from now ON!! Even catch some trout Sunday in the Poestenkill Creek on the Fly Rod!! Now I need to learn how to match the hatch and tie some flies!!!  

NYY, I haven't seen the water rise too often!! You should be OK!!! I went by yesterday the water looks GREAT!!! There's a good hole to the right as you go down the litte hill, it down were the water turns to the south and go under the next bridge!! But if you go stright out off the hill you will see the faster water!!! I may hit it today after work at 1500!!! GOOD LUCK!!! Hay, I did well  last week at  Bridge Ave Spot, down stream from the bridge!!!

40?  **** you must have been in the zone man...awesome day.
Kev you gotta show me this hole in person I guess... i went to the right and stood out facing Peebles Island right before the rapids... only had one taker that i think was a pike but I lost him.  I couldnt find the smallies there or over closer to the dam.   I'm gonna try again soon though 

Hit the river today before work, Only one smallies but to my Surprize I landed 6 small STRIPERS!!!!   I'm going back tomorrow!!! I didn't have my hip booth today so I couldn't get out too far but I'll have them tomorrow!!!

NYY, I know my fish and YES, they were small stripers!!!! Went back this afternoon around 1pm only one smallie!!! Looks like I'm headed for some Duck and Deer Hunting!!! Then on to some ice fishing!!!!

a couple weeks back in waterford by the lock, my friends were catching them (you know.... everyone except me) i was really surprised to see them. they were probably only 6 inches at the largest but they were definately stripers.

Awww I bet theyre cute little fellers

It won't be LONG!!!!! Jimmy you got to try this spot This Year!!!!!
