Oneida Lake 6/25 PM

My buddy Mike was raving about the carp action he had here last weekend on the fly.  Not just the fly, but dry flies!  And not just any old carp but big tackle busting fish running up to around 20lbs!  If that doesn't get your...

Onondaga Lake 7/11

Got out for a full day's worth of bass fishing with my buddy Terry. Bass fishing is still pretty good here but was slower for us than it was back in June. We are still figuring out the fishing rhythms of this lake. We fished...

Made in back down to Onondaga Lake today with Terry. We started around 10:30 am. I brought a couple musky rods for the heck of it (I had some homemade bucktails I wanted to field test) plus my gar lures, but overall we set out...
