Skaneateles Lake 5/5

Reports

Spent the afternoon and evening checking on things on “Skinny”. I’m still learning some “alien areas” on this lake and trying areas that have fished well for me in the fall. Things went well today and I found some nice landlocked salmon, rainbow trout, perch and bass. Casting light hair jigs and fly-casting woolly buggers did the trick. The “inshore fishery” should go well for another 2 to 3 weeks. Water temperatures are around 44 to 47 in the mid-lake areas, and as high as 50 to 52 in the northern portions of the lake. If we keep getting cold nights and moderately warm days things will stay good inshore.
