Cayuga 11/19 Taughannock + Skaneateles 11/20

Fishing remains excellent in the Finger Lakes. I ran around Cayuga Lake a bit on Saturday looking to see where and what the lake trout were up to. Many fish appear to have migrated north back towards some of the mid-lake flats. Lots of nice...

Skaneateles Lake 11/9 + 11/12

Well there wasn't much to report last Wednesday. I tried getting out with Jeff from Alaska and his daughter. "Tried" is the key word! The advance forecast was looking dismal for Wed - Fri. Wed. appeared to be "the day". We knew the forecast was...

Skaneateles Lake 11/2

Great day today out on Skinny!  Can't say enough about this fishing/fishery. Good numbers of trout and salmon are concentrated, active and FEEDING! I did one pass through an area and picked up 2 bows, 2 salmon and a bass. All the trout/salmon were nice...

Fishing Cayuga/Owasco/Keuka 10/28 – 10/30

It was nice to get out and check out a lot of different areas over the past 3 days. More to come this week.... ;-) Friday was a quick 2 1/2 hour trip out of Taughannock with the flyrods in tow. It's a little bit early...

Keuka out of Branchport 10/5

Fished from 8 am till 3 pm today. Scouted the west side of the Branchport arm down around 3 or 4 miles (south). Found a lot of nice laker flats and managed to scratch up a limit. By the time I figured out the fish...

Owasco Lake north end 9/18

Got out today for a relaxed fishing trip with Mark and Barb. We met up at 9 am and proceeded to jig for some lakers. Fishing was very good and they ended up landing around a dozen fish from 18" to 25". Nice eating sized...

Cayuga Lake 6/29 + 6/30

6/29: Fished out of Dean's Cove looking for bass this morning. We worked south of Long Point and only picked up one smallmouth. Had a drum follow in a spinnerbait which was interesting. Lots of perch around. Many bass don't appear to have migrated down...

Skaneateles Lake 5/17 WOW!!!

Best fishing I've had all year - bar none! This lake is smokin' right now. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to throw hair jigs for 12" to 13"+ perch or streamers for rainbows and salmon. Everything was pounding the hair jigs - lakers, rainbows...

Seneca Lake out of Geneva 3/29

Tried Seneca Lake for some perch today without much luck. Brutal to start with North winds around 20 mph +. Fished with Bass Pro Shops Camping/Marine Manager Jerry Giacondo. He had an Aqua-Vu camera that he'd recently won as a prize. The camera was cool...

Seneca Lake out of Watkins Glen 1/3/05

Got out on my own for some pike and perch fishing. The pike fishing remains excellent on Seneca Lake. Landed around 6 pike and one pickerel on the day. Had follow and hits from another dozen fish or so! The pike were all running from...
