I fished the haystack 7/30 7/31. Saturday we did 9 of 11 on laker's a Skippy and 1 mature king in the 25lb. range. 100 t0 120 down over 140 . 280 to 320 dipsy on two settings were also very active. nbk 28 behind chrome dodger worked well and white spin doctor with green white fly also worked well. Sunday was somewhat slower. we ended up with 6 laker's and had the biggest runoff of the season on what had to have been a huge king. the first run smoked the drag on our junk cabellas reel and when the fish made its second run the drag jammed resulting in the loss of a $42.00 dipsy fly and flasher. preety stout wind and chop but a fun weekend. back up on 8/19 chris

Thanks for the henderson reports. there far and few in between. good luck chris

congrats, nice fish. loose the hat!! GO EAGLES chris

hi steve did you have any luck with laker's in the lanes. there usually pretty thick in there by now? were going to try this weekend and probably will fish the finger as well. the lanes will be less of a crowd for sure though good luck and keep the posts up. we all appreciate the info. good info can save allot of gas! thanks chris

you may be interested in this. i bought this lot to compliment another lot down the road which i sold. the buyer was not interested in the waterfront and as a result im stuck with it. Im motivated to sell it and price is negotiable. I am also open to the idea of a lease to suit a situation such as you are looking for. the site is aproximately 10 miles north of watertown. it would take some work to be campsite ready but im open to any ideas if you are interested. good luck chris http://watertown.craigslist.org/reo/2429191137.html

thanks for all of the info guys. much appreciated chris

thanks for the reply. if you don't mind me asking were they deep or suspended? thanks chris

just wondering if its too early in season for shipping lane laker's in the Henderson area? I have also read that early season shoreline planers around galoo island will also be good. any input or recent report would be greatly appreciated thanks chris

Planning to fish chaumont saturday and was wondering if there are any local tournaments to enter? thanks chris

if your staying in chaumont try chaumont first but any of those bays should have fish. when you find fish at a apecific depth stay in that depth around the bay. The river mouth in black river bay is always good but it will drwa a crowd. good luck and post your success chris

This bear was in my yard two days ago and turned over my garbage cans. his rear paw measures nearly 9 inches in length and his front paw is nearly 7 inches wide. i have done some research and found that add 1 to the width of the front paw and that total is roughly the hide squared making him nearly 8 ft. i havent seen him but pa. bear season is in a couple of weeks and you never know??

a less scientific approach may be in order. Wait for rifle season, get about 12 of your buddies. Drive his a** in the right direction and kaboom!! season over! lol. nice to see all of your hard work. hope it pays off. good luck. chris

jeff. the trench is in the area you described . it runs from stony lightouse ne. towards association island. when going out of the trench there is a "finger" that extends out from the lighthouse on the mainland. it extends out into the lake close to two miles and will drop off to 150' at the tip and north sides. There should be little competition right now as many have given it upm for the season. If we get wind as we have all summer the tip of the finger gets pretty nasty but the trench is oftes somewhat protected. You should find fish anywhere from the lighthouse to the mouth of the black river. there is probably more concentration up near the river now. You should also find laketrout now in tempature. good luck and let me know how you do chris

Send me a p.m. No later than thursday the week your going and ill let you know the latest info i know [ Post made via Mobile Device ]

Nothing of any great size but a nice day out. ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ====================

there may be a few there now with last weeks flow but the dam wasnt running this weekend. I think its several weeks away for the river but black river bay should be starting to stage with some fish. I fished the trench wich is about 12 miles out of the river mouth and marked pleanty of fish with only a few takers. good luck

son of a b**** youve got us figured out!! a word of advise!! the ones with the flannel shirts make much better neighbors than pants on the ground with the hats turned sideways. yes we have a upstate and downstate too . I love NY. thanks for having us!! chris

in spring i never thought we would be where we are at now. almost at normal level in my opinion.

we fished the lanes sat am. and sunday am before being blown off. you can pick away at lakers, but the only kings around seem to be tiny. three man limits on lakers happen in the first hour with cowbells on the bottom. the finger was probably a smart choice. good luck and keep the posts going. they are greatly appreciated chris

i looked on this jerks website and in going through his photo gallery(wich consists of one picture) I recognized his face. Just so happens, i had an experience with him myself in the bovine section of the salmon river the first week in october. We arrived early in the am. put on our waders and started down toward the river. A truck came speeding in and two guys jumped out as if to try to beat us down to the river. going down the path they were right behind me and as i walked downstream they followed and stopped in the same exact spot as me in the dark. I told him that there was three other guys with me on there way down from the truck just so we could spread out a little and give each other some room. He then began to scream "i Own this land". I said i did'nt see you come from the landowners home, you drove in a vehicle. He then changed his story to his father in law owns this land and i built these runs. I think he had some thoughts about trying to be a tough guy but I must have been a little too big or too young for him? so the sun comes up and he has one client. He shows him how to cast and goes back to the bank, sits down and covers his head with a rainjacket. constantly he keeps saying he feels sick and starts making cellphone calls. I had the impression he was either strung out or hungover. A short time later his client notices he is no longer behind him and has left him. I overheard him saying how am i going to get back to my car. Another fisherman offerd to give him a ride. I join together with the rest of you guys in saying this jerk should never be allowed to call himself a guide and is certianly no sportsman. Hopefully he will be rightfully prosecuted. With any luck when he becomes elderly, i hope he encounters a young scumbag just like himself.

A whole year of quality fishing for 70 bucks! really we have no complaint. when you take into consideration all of the great things ny. does with their hatchery's, its money well spent. now if you want to waste money on a fishing liscence come to pa. chris

thanks guys

we want to try for lakers this upcoming holiday weekend. I heard a report on the radio from bill saiff saying 135' fow out from calf island? are theese fish this deep now? would appreciate any pointers on location and setup. thanks chris
