    I've lost TWO iPhones now to Chautauqua lake.... Grrrrrr.... It's almost like I use them to mark my spots out there. Just call me and watch the lake light up

    Tried to make it out on Chautauqa today but couldn't get past the ice. My New York season looks to be over... Some braver souls might still be able to make it out. West side of the lake looks a little more clear of ice than east side.

    Nice fish Up-Trim - funny how all the action comes in such tight windows and concentrated spots. I know if I get lucky enough to boat or see a fish, I always try to make another pass over that same area.

    Thanks again to both Darryl and Capt. Bob for the presentation they put on at the Muskies Inc. meeting - awesome underwater video footage and historic info about the area was shared. I really enjoyed the lively discussion and amazing mounts that Capt. Bob was kind enough to bring. It was great getting to meet some of the musky guys from the famed St. Larry and I hope to be returning soon! Your fishery is second to none IMHO.

    The guys here at LOU, members of Muskies Inc and our friends of the Niagara Musky Association all support the practice of catch release and that can't be stressed enough. Remember that muskies are "long-life" fish (i.e., a 45-inch Tiger and/or 50+" pure) can be 10-15 (tigers) years old and 20-25 (pures) years old. An adult salmon is replaceable in only 2-years, not so for these ESOX species. Kill a trophy pure and that fish won't be replaced for 20-25 years down the road.... to this day, my grandmother can not understand why I release every fish I catch as this was an unheard of practice back in her day. Angler education is why musky fishing is as good today as it has ever been. "Table fare" fish are easily replaceable (2-years or less) and grown on fish farms..... not over the course of 20-25 years. Efforts like educational signage proposed by Justin above are awesome and go a long way in helping sustain trophy fisheries. Anyways, I digress from the original topic point but thought it important enough to bare repeating and hope that all members here support practices that help preserve the fishery for our future generations.

    Hi Brent - Welcome to LOU! As a rule of thumb for musky fishing....... the later in the season it gets, the better the fishing gets. This is regardless of the waters your fishing (Chautauqua, Niagara, Islands, or smaller inland lakes). Water clarity will get slowly get better as temps drop and fish start putting on their pre-winter feed. I'll spend most of my time late November fishing Chautauqua or up in 1000 Islands region hunting giants. This of course assumes that I can get permission from the wife to sneak out for a day. Good luck - Chad

    Awesome idea guys........ Angler Education is key to long term success and these signs are a great step in the right direction! Would love to see this sort of thing implemented in more waters around the state.

    Nice report Old Man - thanks for sharing. Cautauqha kicked our butts as well. We had scrappy 30" fish at 8:00am in the morning that we lost boat side and then proceeded to wash lures the rest of the day. Couldn't even manage to get a follow - fishing was definitely pretty slow that day. Threw everything we had in the box at em' and no dice for our team. That is just how musky fishing goes sometimes.
