Join Shelly for fabulous trout fishing in Oatka Creek
Grab your pole, reel, bait, and fishing license (yes, you need one…see below) and meet up on the bridge near the intersection of Circular Hill Road and Oatka Trail, just north of the village of LeRoy.
I regularly walk my dog here and have seen plentiful, large, gorgeous trout being pulled from the creek.
Afterwards, for those interested (and assuming we’ve got a catch), gather at Shelly’s in LeRoy to clean and fry the fish. If you’re not into keeping what you’ve caught, then we’ll grab lunch at the No Finer Diner in the village.
Join the fun on Saturday.
Pre-registration is required.
Bring:
- Your own fishing gear - pole, reel and bait
- Don’t forget your tackle box!
- Hip waders if you want to get in the water
