Guided Derrick and Ken today for a full-day trip getting underway at around 8 am. I haven't done any casting for trout/salmon out here this late-fall/winter season yet. I've had a few reports and everything seems to be the same as it has been "post...

Keuka Lake 11/18 PM
Today was a gorgeous day for this time of year, so I decided to check on Keuka Lake. I love keeping a limit of wild lakers here when I can this time of year! I freeze most of them and get to have baked trout...
