Sodus Bay

Tags, tags and more tags!

No, this isn't about tagging fish - it's about this website.  Over the past year, you may have noticed green "tags" at the bottom of my reports.  Most of you probably know, that with a WordPress website like this, I can tag articles/reports as reference...

Sodus Bay 7/30 midday

Got out here for a scheduled full day with Mark I. looking to target gar on the fly.  The last time we were out here was two years ago and we weren't able to find any gar until the end of the trip.  This time...

Sodus Bay 8/2

Guided regular Mark I. for a full day starting just after 10 am. We decided a gar trip was in order. I hadn't been on the bay in over 2 years (last year we had the extremely high water on Lake Ontario) so I was...

Sodus Bay/Lake Ontario 8/5

Guided James and his friend Rob for a 6 hour gar trip on Sodus Bay. James had read a gar piece I'd sold to "In-Fisherman" magazine back in the early 2000s and put a gar trip on his fishing agenda. Rob hadn't fished much in...

Reports 6/20 – 6/25

Had a nice change of pace over the past week with four full days of fishing on Otisco Lake followed by an interesting trip on Sodus Bay/Lake Ontario. Then it was back to the lakers today on Cayuga Lake. Otisco Lake 6/20 - 6/23: Did four...

Sodus Bay 8/13

Guided Dan and his father in-law Morris for a 6 hour gar trip on Sodus Bay today. We couldn't have asked for better weather - absolutely gorgeous sunshine, not too hot and not too cool. We had been trying to schedule a gar trip for...

Sodus Bay 7/21

Guided Mark for the full day. He just got back from a tarpon trip and was ready to chase some gar. I suggested starting early and doing a little smallmouth bass fishing. We tried a few areas west of the bay in Lake Ontario and...

Sodus Bay 8/5 + Seneca Lake out of Sampson 8/6

Sodus Bay 8/5: Guided Mark for what's become an annual fly-fishing gar trip on the bay. It was what I now call a "Faucett Day" - on and off! (If you were a Charlie's Angels fan, you could have called it a "Fawcett Day".) Fishing...

Sodus Bay 7/20

Guided Chrissy and Mark for an afternoon of gar fishing. They are fans of some of the fishing shows where offbeat species are targeted in offbeat places. There's a world of fun fishing out there and people around the world are catching on. Watch fishing...

Keuka Lake 7/14 + Sodus Bay 7/15

Guided Tad and Barry for the past two days. Tad joined me 3 years ago for some great fly-fishing. Our fishing back then was probably better than it should've been (he had a 26lb carp beeline for his bugger - which hadn't happened before and...
