Fished from 50' out to 300' and it was really slow. Good temp was down 55'. Ended up with 3 steelies and one brown by 08:30. After that it really slowed and the screen dried up. Dumped 5 fish after 08:30. One was a nice steelie and another a nice king. Slide in for browns at the end and nothing. The bait was there but the browns were not. Took fish from 40 - 80 down. 225 - 250 was the best area.
Correct. Grand prize is $4000.00 4 divisions - Salmon, Browns, Lakers,and Steelhead. It pays out $500.00 for 1st, $300.00 for 2nd, $200.00 for 3rd, 100.00 for 4th and $50.00 for 5th.
Gill-T,
Here is a link to more info http://www.orleanscountytourism.com/fis ... .htm#derby. You can also go to Narby's or Captains Cove in Point Breeze or East Fork marina in Hamlin.
Everytime I get an order, my wife complains. Her favorite line is "Here is the package for this week". I just reply isn't that a new outfit you are wearing. That ends the conversation real quick.
Tbarb,
I run mine on a 1 and a 3. I usually put them out 50' of distance from each other or the same. I put the shallow rod flat and the inside rod up on an angle. I usually let the shallow rod out first then the deep rod. Come August, this set up is killer.
I think with all the wind it has the lake really screwed up. The thermalcline is changing depth drastically every day. A lot of the big kings are probally out in the blue zone in the more stable water. When I had my boat in Irondequoit, we would be fishing out in 500 fow around this time and doing really good on Kings and Steelhead.
Pike Hunter,
I run them until they stop catching fish. The At-Tom-Mik flies are good for a long time. I have a couple that are a couple of years old and are really beat up but still produce. Always keep your hooks razor sharp. I will hit them with a file if they are not super sharp.
Kaz,
Meet me on the North end of Conesus in late January and I will drop my under water camera in every hole in the North end of that lake and show you tons of bluegills, and some crappies.
