All the West wind we had pushed the cold water down. I would start in about 100fow put rigs down 80-100 and troll North. If u have a down temp use it. Good luck
Steelhead fight so darn hard that most of the time they are spent when they get to the boat. I had a couple this weekend that probably did not make it. 30 pound Big Game will work well. We did not have much problem with the fleas the other day although the lines were never in the water all that long. The fishin has been fantastic. I can't wait to get out again.
Good goin. We were out there also and did pretty well, but not that well. We were out a little deeper for a while, probably should have stayed in a little. Nice mornin to be out.

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS Got the Boat out again finally just to make sure she was runnin ok. Started about 70 ft and trolled to 150. Pic was bleak over 100 so came back in to a few marks and some bait. Lost a small knig near the boat and then about 15 min later had a real good rip and finally landed a 16 pound king. Lots of fun by yourself and by that I mean a pain in the a##. Sure could use an auto pilot. Oh well had fun.
====================
Nice goin. I asked ya how ya did the other day when you were comin in. I was in the small boat with wife and kids. I managed a half hour trollin trip. Thanx for the info anyways.
Good goin. I have a small boat also but the big lake is where I fish. Nothin like a spring King rippin line. I never seen that happen on Canandaigua Lake.
I would start fishing by 6 AM and try the shallow Brown bite first. Look for stained water starting near creek and following dirty water 5-20 feet of water. Long leads and stick baits. If that does not work slowly work out deeper south to North looking for marks and temperature breaks. Put out dipsys on each side with flasher fly combos and put spoons on downriggers and vary depth from top to at least 60-80 feet down. Troll out to 300 or so and see if ya mark or get anything. Change up lures for water color, depth, and brightness of day. Vary your speed and see where the other boats are fishin and listen to VHF. Some of the guys there are pretty helpful. Good luck. I hope to be out Sunday morning.
Way to go. What a great way to spend Mothers Day morning. Wish my boy and I could have went out. Glad ya did well. I was out with Jax last nite and the fishin was good. How was the water color when u left?
