I have had very good luck trolling fly Rods with either full sinking lines or sink tips and deep diving stick baits (10-16ft). With the sinking links you will get 2-3ft more depth. Troll less than 1mph and as close to shore as possible. You will pick up a laker this way as well. Run you lines about 100ft behind the boat. Look for any place there is run off coming into the lake.

Kevin, Did you get a pic of it? If you say it was a good sized pike and it was actually a pickerel then it is a really good pickerel.

Pike in Canandaigua?

Nice fish!!!

I heard of some mid 15 lb lakers and a 13+ lb brown and a 6+lb bow. Haven't seen pics yet tho.

I am new to fishing the canandaigua area. Is the outlet worth fishing in the spring for trout? I know the DEC stocks it more towards phelps but how is it closer to canandaigua?

Name: Marty Location: Canandaigua Home Port: Boat Name/Type: I fish for: Trout, Steelhead, bass....mostly on the fly. ================== Hi all! I recently took up fly fishing for steelhead. Wow what a time! I went to the salmon river for my first outting. Now I am hooked! I live in Canandaigua. I don't really know the area as far as good fishing spots goes. I went out on my own this past tuesday to Mill creek in Webster. No luck, the water was way low and super clear. I still had a blast tho. I definitely want to learn the smaller tributaries near rochester. Anywho, great site. I am finding lots of good threads to read. -Marty
