Launched at around 6:30, tons of perch guys out. Went south 1-2 miles fished between the points. 100-140 fow 10 for 15 all Lakers. 8 on dipsy's 2 riggers. All on flasher fly green dolphine, Mt. Dew, habanero, you know the deal GREEN stuff. Out 220-245 down 75, and 86. 4 were 3-4 lbs. one was 7lbs the rest 4-5 lbs. lots of eels marks Gonna eat a couple for dinner tonight. not the eels.... pulled up at 11:30 and then got caught in the rain loading and the rest of the way home. Felt good to try my new toys. The new fourstroke 8hp Merc. ran beutifull I think I am going to like it. Can't wait to go again and try some LL and Brown setups. 22-250

nice job way to go. I guess ray k was right...never hear the end of it

[georged]

Sounds like you had a good day. Do you mainly fish flasher / fly set ups? Which brand flies? I can't wait to get back at it myself.

[Tripleduece50]

Oh I fish the flasher/flys because they are so productive for Lakers. I usually run dreamweaver strong flies, howie flys, or G-flys. Really seems to me color is more important than brand but some other here may say different...Any one here swear a certain fly brand out fishes others??

Green, green and green for me too. I've run various brands of green flies.

TD50,

Bigweenie flies by far were the ticket for me on Cayuga last year.

[rustyrat]

Strictly howies for me. Atomic is second. My ticket is bigger than Splitshots.

big weenie flies have been great producers for me on all the lakes.

Bob,

I'm planning on heading out there on Sunday for one open water jaunt before the close; so you'll have to report back here tomorrow night. I haven't been yet this year, but all the reports I've seen on multiple sites have been positive: along the shore to 1st drop all around the lake. and the seneca cayuga canal is usually good too if you get blown off the lake proper.

the city launch is probably a better bet than the state park marina down the road for likely open water, but I'm not sure if any of the launches at the north end are in fact open water yet so be prepared for a plan B launch site in case you have to head further south. I've been trying to check out the Ramada webcam but its been out of service. think the last time I got a pic it was still some ice in the north end earlier this week.

Will be making my way to the allegheny res in a few weeks. no way I can make it another 2 months of not throwing the big baits...

good luck!

[solgrande]

we were down there last weekend fishing from the pier and i just could`nt take it!!!!!Had some muddy water come in and i could`nt get to the edge.NOT so this weekend.5 were caught,nothing big but a report of an 18lbr was circulating a week prior.All the north was open but the launch @ the ramada was LOW.Thats the only one i know of.I`ll get in somewhere.Big toothy awaits!!!!!!

[snuffynra]

i was wondering how early was too early to put my boat in the rivers,it sounds as if some of you already have?i have had the itch sense the first few warm days,

[solgrande]

Never too early,just watch for debris(some cold water this time of year)Can`t catch any on the couch.This is the earliest i`ve been in.Sounds like these guys have been in for a bit.I`m head`n out now!!!good luck!!

[snuffynra]

[NitroMusky]

I'm looking to do some trolling on Seneca this weekend for Lakers, and i noticed that a couple of you talking about flasher/flys....can somebody explain to me what this setup is and how it works? Any suggestions for trolling on Seneca would be great also! Thanks a lot!

Here's a good example. Anything Green/Blue works Good for lakers. Get them right off the bottom and they push the water around as they spin about a 2 ft diameter...First Time I used one a couple years ago, I was amazed at how many more fish I caught. I'm still not up to the numbers Ray K. is hitting, but I can pull limits consistantly.
