Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 8/30 AM

I always have a lot of fun with George and his sons, George and Andrew, and today was no exception.  We had excellent fishing today but average catching.  By most accounts, fishing has been very good during the supermoon over the past few days.  We...

Reports 8/25 – 28: Cayuga, Seneca and Owasco Lakes

Cayuga Lake 8/16 AM, 17th + Owasco Lake 8/18 AM

August is typically my busiest month and this August has been no exception.  I'm getting close to 20 years of guiding, mostly full-time and one thing I've finally learned is that to not burn out, I need to relax on my days off and not...
