Good luck, stop in for lunch at Kidders landing, hit Omalleys! Nice to dock and walk to the bar great food. The fishing is hot right in front of that area, 150-350 on a North troll. FF with uv blue, white, purple fly. Keep your speed up 2.8-3.2. Mag Dipsy with paddle or SD. 275' back on wire rod if you have that. The silver's are there, spoons on rigger with slider cheater, orange, purple,pink. Shallow to start, 80-150 then slide out deeper for late morning bite. If spoons don't work change em up sometimes the smaller scorpion size is the ticket.

We fished the same area the bite slowed way down at about 10:30. The morning bite was great, they liked a North troll at 2.8-3.0. South troll was a slower bite.

We had a much better North troll today and our sog was 2.8-3.0. Our hottest area was across from Milliken and North 150 fow

Love em Les. Tried lots of fly colors today, purple, white, green, the water clarity was poor so we went with the UV blue, good choice. Ten color core was hot out deep but 5 n 7 were dead. Riggers parked at 45 and 65 Both took lots of shots.

Crushed em today! Launched at Taughannock headed North, slow to start but got a steady pick of Lakers and LL. Near Omalleys we Lost two bows. Hot ticket today was FLT spoons, 11" paddle with blue uv fly. Three salmon came off the paddle. Lost two other fish that absolutely slammed the rigger and dipsy. Also hit a small bow on a black and orange cheater. 90-190 decent depth. Also the chute wasn't bad.
Bigger fish released, smaller eater sizes not so lucky.

I'm in Spencer, you're in Nichols? tracked a few down that way!
New puppy soon...
May be looking for a redbone that likes to chase deer instead of coons.

Sounds like you have had good luck with em. I bet you have a nice bow that you know inside out and you shoot well. Again I only get phone calls from the guys that can't find their deer, so that's where my bias is from. Can't wait for bow season. My dog is 14 this year and won't be tracking, its gonna break her and my heart. Hope to kill one early and give her an easy last track...
Good luck out there guys!

After tracking many deer (with my dog) over the past eight years I have got to see the failures of these broadheads (expandables) not just Rage, first hand. IMO they are garbage. They open and fly funky, they have terrible penetration if you put one anywhere near the front shoulder, or steep shot down the side of a rib cage. The blood trails are amazing but the deer don't die from a glancing shot. If you plan on shooting em in the guts its the head for you. Wait 12 plus hours, fight off the yotes, and you will have your buck.
Not putting down anyone's shooting ability because we all miss or make a questionable shot, if you haven't missed yet you haven't been hunting long enough.
So to summarize, make a list of what you want in a broadhead,
Here's mine:
1. Super sharp.
2. Great penetration. Full pass through.
3. Great flight.
4. Tough,well built.
5. Affordable.
6. Dependable.
Bad to the bone....
Don't buy into the hype.

You are in the overall southern zone, so you can fill your doe tags anytime during legal hunting periods. They are trying to help some of the bucks make it to next year. Aka, sitting a alfalfa field in early October is much easier to pattern the bucks, come October 15 they have a bit better chance of survival.
Again NY telling us how to manage our own land and deer. Also at the same time making us pay stupid high land taxes...
