Heading to owasco Friday

[troutperchbeeman]

So my son and I r heading to owasco Friday am. I think I have everything. 2 wire dipsey, 2 10 core lead, and 2 riggers. Going to get some purple spoons and green dodger and fly. Am missing anything? Should we go out from north or south end? Hoping set up through out the column in 100 fow at first. Then move around until we mark fish. It's our maiden voyage on owasco and forts time w copper. Anyone want to share some tips to help us hook up? Thanks!

I was out there today in 25 mph winds with driving rain lol. We had plenty of action on the north end right in the middle of the lake. Lakers and one nice rainbow. Plenty of hooks and bait. Dont be afraid to fish the top 50' too. Best laker action was in 110-120fow. White flasher and flies, mirage spoons.Good Luck, Mark

Bring out the heavy line or you'll struggle with the fleas.

We had no fleas on the north end surprisingly.

Mark,

What's your mirage spoon look like?

[MarkNY]

It's a standard size yeck, black back with a glow ladder that i added. I'll try and take a pic of it when im in the boat. Works great in the flx and on lake o for me. Caught steelhead on it the other day.

Got out this morning. 1 24" laker. Good day out w my boy and buddy. Couple of minor issues tangled one leadcore w copper rig and one of my new poles just broke after three hours of trolling. It just snapped but Cabelas is going to replace it. Hardly any weeds or fleas on the north east side. Can't wait to get back and try it again.
