Seneca Lake

Seneca Lake out of Lodi Point 4/24

Guided Chris for a full-day trip starting at around 9:30 AM.  Seneca Lake remains very high.  Unfortunately, it appears as though we may be in for significant rain tomorrow during the day and evening.  It's exactly what we don't need...  Lake temps ranged from 41...

Cayuga Lake 4/21, Seneca Lake 4/22

4/21:  Cayuga Lake out of Long Point State Park:  BTW:  The park here still hasn't officially "opened," so there is no entrance fee and the restrooms remain locked. We just had another day/evening of rain and around  .75" to 1" was recorded throughout much of the...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 4/17 AM

Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 3/8 – 3/10

Guided three full-days in a row:  Landlocked Salmon fishing remains good to excellent on Seneca Lake.  Numerous smaller fish are around, but there are also good numbers of fish in various year-classes that keep things very interesting!  I've been casting and fly-casting for salmon on...

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...
