Nice trip. We are headed up to fish Friday and Saturday. What depth are you fishing now? Im hoping when we are there they will be in 80-100fow.
Thanks,
Josh
We put in at Sampson’s mid morning and trolled for a few hours. Nothing but weeds and flea’s. Ran three Spin docks with flys, a green lake troll with peanut and a spoon up high. Screen looked decent in front of the marina but no action. Anyone do anything this morning? We will be back at it tomorrow. We are the vintage tan/brown Lund.
Coastal Stripers or lake? We fish the Hudson in the spring but I have never thought of trying a flasher and fly for them. Do have any experiance with this?
Walleye can be kind of tough. We catch them right in with the rainbows while trolling spoons close to the bottom structure (30-35 fow) Ive never seen anything with any size come out of there but have caught a few over 20". Seems like we catch a lot around 15-16". I think someone could do pretty well drifting live bait on structure but ive never tried it.
Do you guys use flasher and flies on the finger lakes just like on Lake Ontario? I havent done any fishing on the finger lakes but I do some on Sacandaga lake for Rainbows but have never had any luck with flashers. I have some dodgers and spin doctors to use with normal great lake flies. I tried and 8" flasher with a smaller salmon fly once without any hits. I also have some Lake Clear wabblers but never have any faith in running them. I do much better with Mooslook wabblers and Michigan Stinger Scorpions.

Was there any other color on it? I think I have something like that but it might have a touch of orange on it. I'll get a pic of it tonight when I get home. I am not sure of the name of it since it came in a spoon lot that I picked up on Ebay.
Ray thanks for the info. I figured someone would have an idea to shorten the learning curve. I think I saw a video on either here or GLAngler that showed to take some of the lead out of the sheath and slip the mono in and tie a knot where the mono is in the sheath. Thanks again.
