when are the western finger lakes meeting
Early Notice:
State of the Eastern Finger Lakes Meetings – DEC Fisheries staff will hold two meetings in March to discuss the current status of the fisheries in the four Region 7 Finger Lakes (Cayuga, Owasco, Skaneateles, and Otisco), provide information on future management activities on the lakes and tribs, discuss the Angler Diary Program administered on the Finger Lakes, and answer questions from those in attendance. The first meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 18 at the BASS Pro Shop in Auburn(conference,seminar room), while the second will be located at the Groton High School Auditorium(400 Peru Rd Groton NY 13073 (RT38)) on Wednesday, March 20. We anticipate both meetings will start at 7:00 PM and run for approximately two hours. Doors open at 6:30
I will offer to create an email list for anyone who wants on it (bcc so no emails will be given out) sign up at door. If someone was not able to ask question I will relay them to DEC for a response. I can send out the fisheries reports I get every other month etc. -

Drawing up a petition to change the rainbow take on the western finger lakes to three as this would be inline with the other regs. What do you all think?

I don't have the old rule book in front of me but if memory serves.. I believe that a five fish limit was in a combination. For instance 3 lake trout and 2 rainbows or 3 rainbows and 2 lake trout or 3 rainbows and 1 brown trout and 1 lake trout. If you are concerned about how much you have invested in your boat and can't keep more than one rainbow trout per angler perhaps you should consider fishing Lake Ontario. The catch ratio on the Lake O compared to the FLX is staggering. Even for a guy like me who fishes Lake O maybe once a year in my own boat. Plus the king salmon will put your gear and your angling ability to the test.
Good luck getting a rule change if that is your mission. Consider this, I have fished Canandaigua Lake exclusively for the last 9 years (since I moved to Cdga) and I can't tell you how many times I was the only fishing boat I saw out there. So the fishing pressure in my opinion is very light. I kept a diary last year and this year for the DEC and my rate of rainbow catches has skewed their numbers in my humble opinion. I don't keep many of them unless they are 5 lbs or more or go belly up. However not every angler is keeping a dairy for the DEC on Miss Canandaigua so maybe they take that into consideration. Tomorrow I am going hit Onanda Park and crush rainbows and browns with my Lil' Cleos until my arm is sore.

I have fished the big O since the 80s . I like the FINGER lakes alot more
-
We have to remember that in years past there were more cooperaters fishing the lake so this is not a good judge of the rainbows in the lake. If the goal is to increase the
rainbows then the job is to stop the rainbows from being taken in the tribs. so it would be best if it were one rainbow in the trib there by allowing them to spawn.
-
I think we should start a protest so that we can get a increase out on the lake to three rainbows a day
as this is alot more fairly as we have alot invested in our boats. This decrease from five rainbows to one has had a very bad effect on people who charter on the lakes as many people love catching rainbows. -
Is this boat still for sale would be interested in buying it . Have a engine that would fit it
-
Steve on hell of an eye good job

Fished Cayuga lake sunday great day on water out of dean cove. Fished in front of Sheldrake . Caught one beautiful laker 29.5' and one 23.5' landlock about 5 lbs many
other salmon between 18 & 15 inches also one very strange laker with stripes looked alot like a tiger trout. Super day on water .
-
Fished lake saturday afternoon with two friends did one nice laker about 28' also one smaller laker no rainbows pretty day one the water
-
I think they should limit the Rainbows on Seneca but not on Canandaigua this lake has a good if not great rainbow population. This lake rainbow population is in good shape & does not need changes.

Those siwash hooks due very little damage saves a lot of small salmon & rainbows
