Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 1/8 midday
Guided Mark I. for a 6-hour day starting just after 9 am. Forecasts called for calm conditions in the morning turning into a south wind around 6 mph after noon, thus our shorter day (usually we do a full-day.) Calm conditions generally make for tough...

Happy New Year!
2026 is now here. We may get a break or two in the cold over the next two weeks, we shall see. All signs are that we're going to see a solid year for landlocked salmon on Seneca Lake. Fish are looking good and clean...

December of 2025 – COLD!!!
As I write this on Monday December 8th at 8 pm, we're looking at 7 degrees Fahrenheit outdoors with the forecast low being 3 degrees, coupled with calm conditions. The cove in Union Springs skimmed over with ice last night. On 12/18/88 we had 6"...

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...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 11/21 PM
Got out here on my own today for just over three hours starting at around noon. The surface temperature in the lower lake is 48/49. Expect mid-40s up out of Union Springs/Cayuga. On a whim, I decided to try some deep fly-fishing, given the abundance...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 11/20 midday
Guided Joe, Larry and Kevin for a 1/2-day trip getting underway at 9:30 am. Last night's low temperature hit 26 degrees, so I didn't feel any need to start super-early. The guys are steelhead fishermen and would've been up for it, but I didn't see...
