Water needed

[fisherdude]

 

Dog and I went for ride today to take a look around . Seen a amish farmer turning over soil instantly I thought of that field dry enough for plowing already. Water is flowing in the creeks. To me not nearly enough. I Stop at Dean's cove ,wow very low water. I hate having a wet spring but send some rain lord . New lines on reels boat ready need to make a dmv visit . Looks like I did a hurry up and wait to go fishing. Going to Samson to take look there tomorrow.

 I dunno, the creeks and rivers around me are at the very  tops of their banks and threatening to spill over..

 Mostly due to snow melt.

. Cayuga Lake is very low, I agree, but thats due to seasonal drawdown, not lack of rain...

 We had a LOT of snow this winter, and in many areas there is still plenty on the ground, and the ground everywhere is saturated. I wont worry about droughts just yet...

Since January 1st we are only 0.5" below average for precipitation. Lat year on this date we were over 3.0" below average so we are not in bad shape.

Fisherdude take a few pictures at Sampson if you would please. With the new ownership do they let you launch now?  I was checking my gear and found this wear spot on a downrigger ball. I must have towed it a lot to wear like that. Looking at the colors it was probably one from years ago when I painted them all different colors to see witch color caught the most fish.

Sampson launch is clean and clear.
Water level is not drastically low like cayuga but is lower than normal.
SENECA Lake resorts launch fee I believe is 7 or 10 bucks.
Can buy a 2 or 3 day plus a seasons pass.
I believe the empire pass is no good at the launch anymore. The marina is beautiful...

Just a short fee weeks and we will be back home.

Ditto, my feeder creek in my yard that feeds Catherine has the most water in it i have seen in 8 years. Ill be watching it like a hawk to see if any silver backs come running in!

That's real good news Nick thanks for the update. My wife and I and dog were at the park a couple times during the Fall and that marina is the best I have ever seen in all my travels fresh or salt water

Lodi state park .
Smaller boats look okay to launch. Old glory is a wiping burrr.
