Owasco Lake 8/30 + 31
Guided back-to-back 6-hour trips this weekend with Fred, whom I hadn't seen in a good 13 years or so! It's fun catching up with people I used to guide on a semi-regular basis. 8/30: (This was written on 8/30.) The cold front blew through yesterday afternoon...

Owasco Lake 8/14, Cayuga Lake 8/15 AM
8/14: Got out on Owasco Lake with Mark I. for a full-day trip. We were hoping to get out to Sodus Bay to check on the gar fly-fishing and then maybe give the lake a shot for Kings, but the weather forecast was calling for...

Owasco Lake 7/26 + 27
Just when I thought that Owasco Lake might be the hot lake in the region, the bite here got tough. Cayuga Lake fished alright according to the few reports I received this weekend. Lake trout action was decent on Saturday AM. Fish can be found...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 7/24
Guided a full-day with Leo and Ada. We fished "banker's hours" again from around 8:15 am until 4:15 pm. Leo and Ada do not like to get up early when on vacation. To me, I'd much rather start early on a day featuring heat indexes...

Owasco Lake 7/21
Guided Leo and Ada here for a full-day trip starting at 8 am. Leo is the guy who caught the 14lb+ brown trout here last year, so I couldn't blame him for wanting to fish Owasco Lake again this year. No monster browns today, but...

Owasco Lake 7/18 AM
Guided a half-day trip on Owasco Lake today starting just after 6:40 am with Jack and Erik. This lake really colored up - or should I say "discolored up" late last week. We had terrific fishing here for the most part over the past 2+1/2...

Owasco Lake 7/11 AM
Guided Matt and his dad, Bill for a 1/2-day trip starting at around 6:45 AM. We had a full-moon last night, and I'm not sure if it affected the bite much, but the fishing was notably slower than what we experienced here over the past...

Seneca Lake 7/9 AM, Owasco Lake 7/10 AM
Fishing has generally been good to excellent lately on Seneca and Owasco Lakes and fair to good on Cayuga Lake. I have not had any reports from the other cold water lakes lately. Cayuga Lake is showing green flecks around the Dean's Cove area and...
