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...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 11/22 PM
Got out here on my own from around 11:45 am until dark (around 4:45 pm.) My goal today was to scout the areas around the park both north and south on both sides of the lake. I'm trying to see if the abundance of round...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 11/15 midday
Got out here on what has become more or less an annual scouting trip on Seneca Lake. Today I wanted to check on salmon fishing and pike habitat. I also wanted to see if there was any kind of inshore movement of fish feeding on...

Seneca Lake out of Lodi Point State Park 10/6 midday
I got out here on my own just to check things out. I brought my usual lake trout tackle as well as some smallmouth bass gear. The water here is low! Launching isn't too bad out of Lodi, but some boats - if they draft...

Guided Zach, Jeremy and Dominic out of Sampson State Park today starting just after 9 am. The big story today was the weather, or should I say, the lack of it. The forecast was calling for rain - lots of it, along with thunderstorms. We...

Guided Bruce and his cousin Steve for a full-day trip starting just after 8 am. Bruce has joined me on a couple of trips this year. His extended family is renting a place on Keuka Lake for the week, so Seneca Lake seemed like a...

Seneca Lake 8/6 + 8/7
I had a few days off so it was time to do some "homework." I try to keep tabs on the lakes I guide and with gobies being a fairly recent arrival on Seneca, it made sense to give it a good shot. I went...

Seneca Lake out of Sampson State Park 7/24
Guided a full-day with Leo and Ada. We fished "banker's hours" again from around 8:15 am until 4:15 pm. Leo and Ada do not like to get up early when on vacation. To me, I'd much rather start early on a day featuring heat indexes...
