    Canandaguia PB Rainbow

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    My hunch is that there may be more browns than folks think but a) they tend to locate in difficult to fish spots (e.g. at the deep edge of drop-offs, b) they are primarily night feeders and not many folks night fish anymore, They are not "roamers" like rainbows and tend to locate in set areas much of the time depending on food availability....they are never far away from bait and food sources. Even the big ones are fond of small stickbaits and spoons trolled at long distances from the boat. Unfortunately the boat traffic on Canandaigua for much of the season is insane and I think a lot of the browns are spooked by it and hunker down near bottom near mouths of streams (not many on Cdga) and in the 40- 80 ft range near bottom around the drop-offs and they are tough to get at when trolling. Stillfishing for them with bait is more productive here as you can present the bait much more precisely and they are more tempted by it (whether alive or dead). In low light conditions in early AM trolling right around docks and shorelines with inline boards and small stickbaits or toplines way in back of the boat can be productive, but you pretty much have to  go with just those shallow rigs because of the highly irregular bottom so it limits number of lines that can be used (e.g. pretty much impossible to use riggers or things like wire rigs etc). Black and silver Rapalas and the black and gold ones seem to attract them, Small spoons such as the little Honeybees also work well. You may want to stay away from chartreuse color or blues in there as the smallies will hammer the blue and the pickerel can be a problem with the chartreuse.
