Fish Junkie

Thanks guys.  Always fun to do something the hard way.

Fiberglass?. Nice.

Yeah, mostly all I fish these days.

Set up is a vintage Orvis 9' #9  Fullflex paired with a big old British made Madison.  I have it lined with a RIO outbound short with a clear intermediate tip.  I can really punch BIG flies out there and originally put this combo together for pike/musky. 

A nondescript rockpile between Rochester and Niagara...  .   Just enough to cast into 4-5' of water. 

Big rod, big flies, many casts, but sometimes it happens.

lots of undersized gills.  A few bass.  Doesn't fish like it did years ago. 

Just my 2 cents....

This lake is getting burned up on this forum. Not even close to a 1000 acre lake and there 16-18,000 members on this site. Parking lot can hold 15-20 trailers (that may be a stretch.) Just like the no naming small streams policy on the tributary page, these smaller lakes shouldn't be called out if you guys are truly thinking of the fish's best interest. Name small lakes in private messages.

Anyone get any landlocks out of this lake anymore? Did the state suspend the stocking?

Must be they were biting Saturday.  My friend who was fishing smallmouth bass caught a nice 56" up there on Saturday as well.  he was on Chaumont bay.

 

Pickerel in there,

Never seen a pickerel in my life there.

If your watching guys fishing then why not go out and try? 

 

 Caught a few small perch, had no flags but did have a pike hit one of my perch tip downs

your tip-ups are set up for perch right ?

Had a friend ice fish yesterday in front of the college.  My guess would be 2 more weeks until enough open water to navigate by boat.

Yes the ice is thick enough on the main lake but what is deteriorating VERY fast is the shore ice.   With the steep walls of the Finger lakes the runoff from melt water goes straight into them.  BE careful along shorelines I have heard they are going fast in some areas.

 Fellow Fishers,   I haven't seen any information on the yearly perch tournament on Kueka lake for a few years now. Now that I am retired we can make the trip from Michigan.  Not much of a computer person so any help in finding info is deeply appreciated. Thanks

 

I think you may be referring to the "Perchmasters" tourney that was for Seneca, Keuka, and Canandaigua waters.  There used to be a website but I can't find it either.  I wonder if it disbanded ???

Ted's in Lakeville has been carrying sucker chubs

Solid fish !

Tip -up.   If it is a signaling device and left unattended you can run a max of (5) just like tip-ups or tip-downs.  Need a name an address on them as well. 

Figured some of you toothy hunters on this forum might appreciate this.  Was fortunate enough to be in the FLA Keys last week and do a bit of fishing.  Mainly fished the flats with fly rod and light spin gear chasing barracuda, sharks, etc. ( the predators that the locals don't seem to bother with.)  Caught handfuls of smaller guys, but this one was picture worthy.  My wife was also able to get a couple action shots.  The one pic of him airborne was after he made a blistering 100 yd. run....

Amazing looking rainbow ! 

Gamefish cannot be sold.  Panfish can.  Limits and restrictions still apply.  Read your regulations

Congrats.  Nice box on a tough day of fishing.  Well done

Pretty narrow minded response if you ask me....I'm sure he will get a response.  There are some good people on this forum.  The only dumb question is the one not asked.

I should clarify....Long Pond was real muddy...didn't see Cranbo

Water is muddy from all the runoff....Braddock's too...

 

Just wondered when the last time rainbows were put in Canadaigua?  Maybe Sk8man will have an answer...

Not since the 30's I believe....self sustaining ever since if I am not mistaken. 

Whose sponsoring the other one?
