Tags, tags and more tags!

No, this isn't about tagging fish - it's about this website.  Over the past year, you may have noticed green "tags" at the bottom of my reports.  Most of you probably know, that with a WordPress website like this, I can tag articles/reports as reference...

Waneta Lake 11/20 + Owasco Lake 11/21

Fishing is top-notch throughout the region.  Water temperatures have dropped into the 40s.  Lake levels remain low. Waneta Lake 11/20:  Got back out here with Mark for a full day starting just after 8 am.  We had sunnier conditions than what we were hoping for and...

Reports 11/12 – 11/14

Guided the past three days on different bodies of water.  Water temperatures are currently around 50 on the big lakes and likely dipping down into the upper 40s on the smaller bodies of water.  Water levels vary by water body. Waneta Lake 11/12:  Guided Mark I....

Waneta Lake 11/15

Did another full day here with Mark I.  It was pretty darn cold out this AM when we met.  The lake temp is down to around 39 to 41 degrees.  The lake level is probably slightly lower than it was last week.  As is usually...

Waneta Lake 11/10

Guided Mark I. out here for a full day of fly-fishing for musky.  I believe this is the fourth time we've tried this out here.  His first trip was great - he landed three solid muskies to 47" and had a few other follows.  Our...

Waneta Lake 6/1 + Seneca Lake 6/2

Did some "esocid targeting" over the past weekend. Here are how things went. Waneta Lake 6/1: Guided Mark I. for what has become an annual or perhaps bi-annual trip to Waneta targeting musky on the fly. He lives fairly close to the lake so it makes...

Waneta Lake 11/12

Guided Mark I. for close to a full day on Waneta Lake starting around 9:30 am. It was very cold this AM so we met a little later than usual to give the air a chance to get above the freezing mark. I don't as...

Waneta Lake 11/25

Earlier this week I got a text from longtime client Mark I. who'd happened to be looking at the weather forecasts and thought Friday looked great for a musky trip. If you follow my reports, you might recall that we tried to get out for...

Waneta Lake 11/7

Well I was hoping to get out and fish a bit this week, but yesterday's heavy winds resulted in my taking the day off. I was hoping to hit Skaneateles Lake. My friend Chris was out there and said it was brutal, though some bass...

Waneta Lake 10/20

The forecast was calling for sun and light south winds - perfect smallmouth weather, but I couldn't get up early - so I decided on heading over to Waneta Lake for a try at some muskies. I fished this lake once before, around 16 or...
