Default Fly Fishing Rochester NY

Does depth have anything to do with fly fishing. Ive been thinking, and

id
guess that if your trying to fly fish in like 10 feet of water, you

wouldnt get
anything, simply becuse if the fish are down lower, they either cant see

or
just wouldnt come up for a fly.


If you mean you're fishing dry flies in 10 feet of water, and you don't see
any fish rising, then it's less likely that fish will come to the surface
than be caught underneath. But 10 feet is pretty deep to be fly fishing in
most streams anyway, even with nymphs or streamers. You can find easier
water to fish than that :-)

So I guess my overall question would be how
low are the fish swimming in this time of year?


Sometimes bugs hatch in cold weather, but if you don't see them, then the
colder the water is, the better off you are fishing on the bottom with
nymphs.

And also, Has anyone ever
heard of places like Oak Orchard Creek, Johnson Creek, Oatka Creek, and
Irondequoit Creek?


Start fishing Oatka Creek. Go over to Carl Coleman's fly shop and ask some
questions and they'll get you pointed in the right direction. Hiring a
guide can also be a good education for learning how to fish the area.
