Lockdown is on! gotta get lucky and find one finishing up with doe A and going to find doe B! They have torn up and stunk up two of my favorite hole up areas. I need patience on a stand! gets tough seeing nothing and knowing they could be 80 yds away and you never know it. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would say that fish were all over the spectrum of the water column the other day. My 5 color took a few fish key seemed to be small spoons ran at differing speeds. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice job! Those marks down there definitely aren't all lakers. The fish have to go deep to get the bait, guess we have to follow, lol! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yea the lady choked up a bit when I said pay it forward. The guy said if he had a beer he would have given me one, I would have taken that!!! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Nice Rollie! I found one pocket of bigger fish in the upper zone. They were just south of long point in 280'. I didn't see you out there and I covered a lot of water did you stay on the south end? Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Launched out of Taughannock at 7:30 cruised to Milliken set up shop. Had the lake to myself! The dink salmon were there and I didn't mark any suspended active fish so I continued North. Ran a ten color and two riggers. Started marking fish down 120-150 so I sent down the Flt custom paddle with a minion DWB fly. Very slow on that setup especially when you are dragging a tiny Laker probably for an hour, lol. Picked away most of the morning two small browns, three bows 3lbers. and three Lakers, perfect eating size. But my best catch of the day came out on front of Taughannock. There was a boat floating toward shore with the motor cover off. Well I would have had time to get into a tree tonight but these nice folks needed a tug to Myers. So it was a fun day and hopefully they pay it forward to someone else someday. No fish pics but couple of others. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

4 pt not a bad 1 1/2 for my non ag area. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I decided to do a mid day sit next to a know hole up area. Sure enough right at noon a small six gets chased out of the bedding area nice shooter 8 grunting and weasing on his tail. He stops at 50 and watches the little guy walk right by me. He returns to his doe giving her a calming grunt. Ten minutes later Mr 4 pt crashes the party only to get sent right by me too. So now I wait, rain may be the only bad thing coming... BTW these deer are bedded within 100 yds of a house and 60 yds of a road. I can hear the guy coughing and banging stuff. Find the spot with thick cover away from the rest of the deer herd. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

yup DWB. Only reason was to try something different. Someone had posted they were hitting on pink or orange... I usually like a glow bead or white in the fly body but this worked. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Awesome story Ray! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great job this year Joe! Not many fish as hard as you. Congratulations on your high overall finish in the year long FLTA. You're a tenacious one! Not many guys quick thinking enough to add water to their boat to get it under the Taughannock bridge! We'll be gunning for you next year! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Launched at Taughannock at about 7:30. Headed North and set up shop right down the middle. The weeds and leaves were annoying but avoidable. Launched my new to me FLT custom painted paddle with a minion DWB fly on a mag dipsy it wasn't in the water five minutes and boom fish on! , fish off.. The small salmon were everywhere! Found some active fish in 222' near Milliken. Fished most of the day, landed 4 Lakers, two small bows, one small brown and I lost count on the dink salmon. Dropped two other Lakers and a board burying fish that I couldn't get to in time (fighting a Laker). I'm sure that was the silver I was looking for. The Lakers were down 100-140' and if you got a FF down to them they were willing to play. The fish I kept were totally spawned out. Hot spoon color was orange and gold and a small silver and purple. Picture of the biggest Laker that I released. Thanks again Minion! Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
