Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 12/16 PM
Got out on my own for around 3.5 hours today. It didn't look like a great day for salmon or pike fishing weather-wise but did look like a great day to get out and just enjoy the lake, so that's what I did. The lake...

Owasco Lake 12/8
Guided Mark I. for a full-day on Owasco Lake starting just after 8 am. Our target today was pike on the fly. Mark fly-fished the whole day, save for 15 minutes spent casting gear in one marginal area. We had tricky weather forecasts going into...

Reports 5/21 – 5/23
As of this writing on 5/24, I still have this Memorial Day Weekend open for trips! A lot of people think Memorial Day weekend is a busy weekend on the water with regards to boaters, but apart from anglers, it's usually fairly quiet out on...

Keuka Lake out of Branchport (Keuka Lake State Park) 3/24
Got out here with Mark I. for a full day, getting underway just after 9 am. We had a chilly morning and the air temperatures never quite got much above 43 or 44 degrees on the day. The water level has risen considerably since last...
