Cayuga – Shorefishing Report 4/28
Well I've had a tough week of "not fishing" thanks to nasty winds compounded with a run-in with Bambi on Route 89 a few nights ago, so off to Taughannock I went for some shorefishing/wading with my pal Shahab. We started around 1:30 pm and...

Seneca Lake/Watkins Glen 4/20
No great shakes to report today. Checked out the Watkins area for salmon and didn't find them. Also looked for lake trout jigging areas - found some good ones, but no lakers! Lake level is high. Some debris, but overall in good condition. Water temps...

I figured I could knock off a couple birds here with one stone. In a nutshell, the Fingerlakes are still in a state of flux following the heavy rains and near flooding. North winds made the last couple days a pain for boat control. I...

Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock 4/8
Spent 4 hours on Cayuga Lake salmon fishing today. Nothing special happening. I'd give Cayuga another 4 or 5 days before I fish it again. Lots of masses of murky debris laden water from the heavy rains drifting around out there. Found a few small...

Canandaigua/Seneca Lakes Tues. April 5th.
There's a trout tournament on Canandaigua Lake this Saturday and I was thinking about fishing it, so off to Canandaigua I went this AM with a friend. Water level was high, somewhat murky and cold. 35 degrees. We fished for around 4 hours plus and...

Seneca Lake Sampson Report 4/1
Lake trout fishing is getting better and better. I fished solo today and I field tested some low stretch lines and new rods in order to see what works best on these deep fish. Fishing was very good today and in 3.5 hours of lake...
