Rollie, wouldn't want to give up a guys " hot spot" or tell anyone your secret lure with a guy fishing like you did this year must feel like you were at your "Apex" lol!!

Rollie, congratulations and great job this year, you sure put your time in and fished hard. Your rig and gear is top notch and you fish the finger lakes as good as anyone. Have you thought of joining the FLTA? Not sure I'd want to compete against you but it's a lot of fun out there.

Sorry we missed ya Les, the group of guys n gals that fish in the FLTA are skilled to say the least great folks and always fun. Canandaguia was really fun for us, any one of the finger lakes can take years to learn, I look forward to learning more about each lake we fish, gotta say that the trolling bite was tough Sunday but worth the trip. Thanks for all of your insight!

Canandaguia was great for us today even though we were only able to weigh in one small bow. I had a chance to pre fish this past week and found a active group of larger bows in the middle ( North end ish) on some large bait pods. Caught 4 bows that day with the biggest being just under 5 lbs All released.. Today we ended up landing 8 bows and losing two that were toads. The biggest we lost hit a pink FLT alpha alewife down 55' over 222' he jumped 3-4' out of the water twice and thrashed his head throwing the spoon back at me like to say nice try!! I'd estimate that fish at 9 plus pounds... The other we lost played like he wasn't hooked til he got to the net the flipped out and said goodbye! 4 lber or so. Also picked a nice 6lb Laker. Overall the screens showed a healthy amount of bait and tons of arcs. Canandaguia has always been tough for us but today it was a lot of fun, just need to learn how to land the Tasmanian fish devil!!

Browns usually go in early November during rut... But they are shallow, usually where thermo hits bottom, 40-60'

Bad deal breaking down! Nice job fishing and I like the reports!

Gotta say it's just the opposite, the current in Cayuga current runs North the fish have their face into the current and are much easier to catch headed on a North troll because they see it coming. You can disagree but every time out of T- falls the mud line runs North. And every creek also follows the same, inlet on south end outlet North. Once in a while you will find a strong west- east current but not typical. Wind will roll in cooler water but overall s to n..

Nice job getting out, any favorite colors on the flies or spoons?

http://www.ironduketrollingflies.com/ Mike makes some of the highest quality flies at a great price. They catch fish on the finger lakes. My favorite is the UV extravaganza and the Bellis program. Keep your lead at least 24" should be about right this time off year.

Tough fishing today!!! Good luck to you and all the FLTA captains!

I went out of Woodville today it is very low, my depth finder read 1.9' most of the way out, careful guys.
