Canandaigua north end morning 9/9

[yukiginger]

Went 7 for 8 on rainbows in 150'-185' of water. Fished 7-11. Riggered spoons and flasher/fly combos fished off wire divers produced for us. Green was the hottest color. All fish taken 45'-55' down. We aren't too familiar with the geography down there, but we were a couple miles down the lake from the north launch. Most fish were taken near the east shore but we fished the middle and west also.

Nice to fish a Finger when we usually hit the big lake for salmon and the larger trout. We fished Ontario on Friday (out of Irondequoit) but ended up skunked (had one on for 4 or 5 seconds is all). 55-75' of water showed tons of fish and bait but they suffered from a severe case of lockjaw (for us anyway).

Nice to get down on Canandaigua and catch such pretty fish. Here's the biggest fish of the day - a 6 lb male. All the rest were clones about 3 lbs.

Just a note on the launch at Canandaigua Lake State Marine Park: the fee is a vehicle fee, not a launch fee. I drove separately from my brother who was towing the boat. When we pulled out we each owed the $7. Quality launch and docks, though.

Nice fish, sounds like you had a good day. I know we wanted to just drive thru & check out the launch a few yrs. ago & they wanted to charge us $7.00 just to look ! That s@#ks! But now I am old/retired & get in for nothing during the week, Thats great!

I remember the guy that used to work down there, not sure if he still is working but he would chase you down if you launched before he got there " Six dollars, six dollars, six dollars please, six dollars"
