I have a wife....Some have said that a wife is priceless.... I'll trade you my priceless wife for your $2800 canoe....

Haha! Nice one! In the summer when I get bored in the evening, I slip down to the finger lakes trib behind my house and can usually catch some monsters. Love to use my steelhead setup with bread balls. Man can they fight.

Sasquatch.....for sure...

I live in Locke and Hewett Brothers has non ethanol gas.. Im not sure but I believe its cash only and its around $3.05

FML.. live reports tweeted...now Ill have to eat all the harassment Ive ever given my wife for twitter...

No worries man......Just making a counter point... sometimes I get a little defensive.. Sorry guys.. lol tight lines!

What does mm stand for? And why does everyone always assume that because a guy uses mono on a fly reel hes lifting? Granted a lot of scumbags use this technique.. but not me.. . All the fish above were fairly caught, pic snapped then released for the next guy.. Maybe some guy with a $400 fly rod.. Maybe some kid with a $20 walmart special spinning rod and worms..... Don't judge... Thats all I'm saying...

Heres a few pics of some of the browns I got in december outta the fingerlake tribs

Heres a few pics of the bows I caught yesterday out of my favorite fingerlake trib. Landed 7 and lost 1.. my hands were too frozen to bother taking pics of the other 2.. Happy New Years Everyone!

Hey all my father and i started at our favorite fingerlake trib ..... i went 3 for 4 all small and spawned out 22" was the biggest dad caught 1 and lost 1 all between 645 and 8 but the stream was swamped with guys so rather than fight the crowd and all the braniacs tromping through the stream we shot up north to our fav steely haunt were i landed 2 and lost 2 dad was unlucky landing 1 and losing 4 dads budy also went up with us he landed 1 and lost 3............ fished up there from 1015 till 345 then packed it in wet and tired (it rained up north) all were released howd everyone else do? dad with his steely one of mine dads buddy finger lake bow another

I agree with you guys.... ive been fishing the finger lake tribs for some time and every year there are less and less fish and the same or more people all taking more than they need.... back in the day 3 was fine but to preserve it either needs to be 1 or just catch and release... i know this doesnt set well with a lot of people but if we continue the way we are going the trout fishing around here will suck and we will all be reduced to sitting around drinking beer remembering the "good old days".. it also doesnt help that the DEC seems to have no clue how to manage a stream properly nor does it appear that they care....

Yeah the landlocks i admit came from fall creek and the top 2 browns but the others are from my special place ......

Hey guys, im finally getting around to posting some pics.. these are a few that i took time to take pics of from late november through december.. all are from finger lake tribs.... all are in the 21 to 25 inch range except the brown 27" Brown
