    Nice report and congrates on a sucessful trip. Hemlock is one of my favoriates - the tranquility makes it worth the time even if the fish don't bite. What's your secret for getting browns ? They never cooperate when I'm targeting them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    No permit required anymore. Permit was a requirement back before ~2010 when the City of Rochester still owned the land; it's now State Forest. I'll echo what the others say - Canadice for lakers, Hemlock for Rainbows.

    Sorry for the late post - I went out of Sheldrake yesterday (Wednesday 17th) - hit the water @ 6AM, and the wind from the S/SE forced me fish north of the point in 30-80 FOW. Also saw lots of bait with marks underneath; trolled 4 and 5 colors with a mix of stick baits, trolling files, and mixed spoons with only a 19" salmon brought to the net to be released. Wind died down around 11AM, and on the way in, I spent about 30 minutes messing around jigging white flukes over marks - brought up a 23" laker. @egcuth - Weekdays are a bit tough for me to schedule in, I generally get out more on weekends; but send me a PM if you're looking for a partner next time out.

    I've kayaked out of Sheldrake a bunch of times - had decent luck both north or south of the point. My choice of direction was based on the wind conditions more then what I was seeing on the humminbird.

    Sorry for the late report - I hit Hemlock both mornings (5/17 & 5/18) and here's my results. 5/17 - Launched from the North launch @ 6 AM and headed to the west shoreline. Ran down to south of the bluffs in 30-60 FOW. Fished marks and bait when I saw them. Lots of marks near the bottom in 50 FOW. Water temps were 48-50 on the surface. I top lined a mix of humdingers, flutter spoons and small suttons with only a small mouth bass caught. Also had 3 color and 4 color lead cores out. The 4 had a homemade cowbell-type flasher with a night crawler on a bare hook. The 3 color I ran a mix of smelt pattern trolling flies. Landed and released 3 Lakers ; 18, 21.5 and 23 inches. (2 on the night crawler 1 on a trolling fly) 5/18 - Launched from North launch @ 6:30 and again headed for west shore. Fog was pretty thick the first hour or so. Based on the marks that I saw Saturday, I stayed in the area of 50 FOW and only got a far south as the white building, as I kept circling and fishing the marks. I ran a down rigger with a mix of green & green-black spoons near the bottom and a "cheater" rod up higher depending on where marks were. Cheater used a mix of flutter spoons and smelt pattern trolling flies. Landed and released 2 lakers; 21.5 and 22 inches. both from the bottom spoons.

    SOLD Like new condition - Bought these last year and spooled them up, then only used 1 time. These do NOT have a line counter on them.

    Was on Hemlock 2 weekends ago (5/3) in the yak for a few hours. Surface temps were 46-48. Ran a shallow program, no takers. Gonna try to get out as well this weekend if the weather holds.

    Cayuga Perch

    It's call misdirection; everyone will there tomorrow looking for the perch when in reality, they're schooled up off Gilligan's Island.

    this thread is making me jealous... I'm classified as essential at work, and have been working a lot of additional hours to support the increased need for remote access and other IT initiatives in our healthcare environment, so haven't had time to get out in the kayak yet. On a side note, I am in the process of stripping down and repainting the trailer I haul it around on.

    For your reading pleasure, see attached PDF file of the 2019 report. Wondering if the discontinuation of stocking Lakers will allow for a better population of browns to develop; Personally, browns have always been challenging to me in Canadice, but I was able to land 2 last year. Know a fellow kayak-er (not a diary cooperator) who landed a monster a few years, and have heard of others being landed, so I know they're down there. Would also suggest anyone who regularly fishes these lakes consider participating in the program - there's definitely a lot more folks fishing these lakes then are represented in the cooperator program.

    Canadice lake on the ice last year 90 FOW... Was in the flip-over messing with one of my yak attack creapers. Like a sling shot, it flew off my boot and right down the hole. Watch it flutter down, and once it hit bottom dropped my 1 oz jig down and in 15 minutes after a few drops had it back on the ice. Fought harder then most lakers I've gotten there [emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Like new condition, only worn 4X. Realized afterward that heavy wool socks make them too tight for comfort. No sign of wear other then a bit of mud in the treads. Purchased locally, but unable to return because they were worn. Asking $90 face to face in Canandigua / Ontario county area.

    Subscribed to this guy's channel a few years ago... seems like he's got things dialed in pretty good for a tourist in a kayak.
