Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 7/28 AM

It felt awfully nice driving to Myers Park today instead of over to Owasco Lake or Seneca Lake for lake trout.  Myers is about a 10 minute drive for me and is only a few miles from where I live.  I haven't been on Cayuga...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 7/23 AM

Guided Billy and Chris for a 1/2 day trip.  They are up on Seneca Lake for a big family reunion.  Neither one fishes a whole lot.  This weather pattern has made for hot fishing throughout Central NY and today was no exception.  The fishing wasn't...
