Worked in Ithaca for about 15 years and took eastshore dr. to work everyday. In the spring the run off went up the east shore headed north. The west shore from taughanock south was clean water headed south.. There is always a pile of sticks and logs headed north on the east side. up past the water plant. Fish hawk works good to get the speed right. Lily , I am glad your enjoying the boat. I always caught a bunch of fish on it..
