Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 11/25 PM
Got out here for just over 3 hours starting at noon. The weather will be taking a turn for the worse on Thanksgiving. After that, we're into normal (cold!) early December conditions. Although I didn't have what I wanted weather-wise for fly-fishing salmon, I decided...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 11/22 PM
Got out here on my own from around 11:45 am until dark (around 4:45 pm.) My goal today was to scout the areas around the park both north and south on both sides of the lake. I'm trying to see if the abundance of round...

Waneta Lake 11/14
Met Mark I. out here at around 7:45 am for a day of fly-fishing muskies. The water level remains good here. Water temperature on the lake was 45 degrees. We had the lake to ourselves today, which was surprising, but not shocking given that the...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 11/13 AM
Got out today with Bob and his girlfriend Cathy for a 1/2-day trip starting just after 8 am. For starters, the lake level is starting to drop noticeably. It's a good foot down from last week. Launching is still easy, but the drop-off from the...
