Guided Derrick and Ken today for a full-day trip getting underway at around 8 am. I haven't done any casting for trout/salmon out here this late-fall/winter season yet. I've had a few reports and everything seems to be the same as it has been "post...

Skaneateles Lake 11/7
Guided Gordon on what has been an annual fall trip for quite a few years now. He brought his nice Orvis Helios fly-rod and fly-fished for probably 2/3rds of the day. He mainly casted around wind-blown shallow, rocky areas. Bass were fairly cooperative and he...
