Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 2/27 + 28 (AM)
2/27: Guided Carl for a full-day today starting just after 9:30 am. Last year he was out with me around this time of year and managed a rainbow trout on bottom in around 40' of water on a bladebait! We also had some salmon action...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 2/16 PM
Checked on Seneca Lake's salmon today. For what it's worth, I'm pretty much done with this season's ice fishing. If it had stayed cold, I certainly would have fished Canandaigua Lake again, but with this thaw and rain in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday,...

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...

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 11/13 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...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 10/18 AM
Guided Joe, his son Kyle and son-in-law Scott today for a 1/2-day trip starting just after 8:30 am. In a nutshell, we had a very solid day today with double-digit numbers of fish landed, including some big ones - a 30" and a few 28" to...

Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 9/14 AM
We're now roughly 2+1/2 to 3 weeks away from the start of the lake trout spawn on Cayuga Lake. The fishing remains good. Plenty of rainbow trout along with some brown trout and landlocked salmon are around as well. With the sameness in the weather,...
