Lake Ontario out of Oswego Harbor 10/14 PM

Had a fly-fishing guide trip postponement today due to the wind forecast so I decided to head up to Oswego for the day. I have a few waterways that I want to fish before the cold sets in, after which I'll be sticking with Cayuga...

Lake Ontario out of Oswego Harbor 5/27

Got out here around 11:30 am for some jigging.  As I write this I'm sure some people might wonder why I don't get up at 2 or 3 am and drive out towards Western Lake Ontario or at least start at dark thirty on the...

Skaneateles Lake 4/28, 5/1 + Lake Ontario out of Oswego 5/2 PM

Strong winds and heavy rain have numbered my fishing days as of late.  We had an unusual warm up in February, but overall air temps have stayed cold ever since.  We were deluged by rain on April 29th/30th.  Expect all the large Finger Lakes to...

Lake Ontario out of Oswego Harbor 4/6

Seneca Lake 10/29 AM + Lake Ontario Oswego 10/30 PM

10/29 Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen:  Guided the Hermans for a half day trip targeting northern pike.  It was the first time I'd been out of Watkins Glen since last April I believe.  Milfoil is still up pretty good in a lot of areas. ...

Lake Ontario out of Oswego 5/6

Got back out to Oswego again today for another solo trip. Hit my pizza place again (it's the one in Cato - not Weedsport fwiw.) Had completely different conditions today on the lake - this time winds were calm, the lake was flat and the...

Lake Ontario out of Oswego 5/2

Had a terrific day of fishing solo out of Oswego today. At 11 am I was in Cato enjoying a couple slices of great pizza from the New York Pizzeria just as they opened. It's one of my favorite pizza places for a slice and...
