Canandaigua 4/16

Weather forcast was spot on today. Made commitments to fish the Avon Anglers trout derby so there was no backing out. Fish were biting but they were few and far between. Marked more bait on the lake than I think i've ever seen this time of year! Washed out on spoons but started takin some hits on flasher/flies. Last hit of the day was just enough to give us a second place finish before we were blown off the lake. The three we kept were stuffed with alewives. No hits less than 100ft down and green/glow seemed to be best. Can't wait to get back out on a nicer day!

We were out there also, but could not move a rod. We saw the bait on the west side also, was using flasher flies and were down from 100-150 with the riggers. What was your speed? Did direction matter?

I stuck pretty much to a Northbound troll. Really tough to maintain a speed in that wind but most of our hits came 1.5-1.9 sog. Slower seemed better.

Thanks for the info, we were running between 1.8 -3.0 s o g, don't usually have to go that slow to trigger a strike.
