Both canadice and hemlock [ Post made via Android ]

Noy really consistantly. There more of a bonus fish because we generally dont target them.

Picking up your speed as well as fishing the thermocline which varies between 20 and 30 foot down gives you the best chance at browns and bows. slower is still better for lakers. The average laker in canadice is about half the size of the average laker in hemlock. However the average brown in canadice doubles that in hemlock. Its a matter of preference. Also just figuring out the fish and what they want. Suttons work great off of riggers as do flasher/fly combos. I also like running dipsey divers off the sides with a four inch blue or silver n black rapala to pick fish up. If you want salmon flat lineing a stickbait or spoon can be deadly at times too.

Hahaha well guess it may be pike fishing then driving to sodas to go out in the lake [ Post made via Android ]

Does anybody know if the channel has been dug out. Going to do some pike fishing then head put for some browns later in the a.m. [ Post made via Android ]

Do you guys use a depth finder? If so I stay about 5 to 10 ft off bottom. Nice to see someone pulling trout out of there. Im more of a hemlock guy but when I go there and ask around everyone usually says they got skunked. Have you been picking up anything besides lakers? [ Post made via Android ]

Picture doesnt do the fish justice. Buddy had a hard time holding him up so quick pic then revivial mode.

Nice man! Buddy and I fished shallower the other day for borwns n bows. managed a few. Trying for lakers on the first nice day next week. Looskliek thursday right now! Pull that guy on flasher/fly or spoon?

I lost my card reader but i recently bought a new one. Ill be putting it up either tonight or tmrw.

Vettman, i hit hemlock the other day. Managed a 10 to 11 pound Bow that I let my buddy take on. It was his first trout ever. He smiled the rest of the trip and way home. And i will completely take you up on that offer. May hit it canadice or hemlock on sunday depending on family easter stuff.

Ran 6 rods yesterday with a buddy of mine out on hemlock lake. (His first time fishing for coldwater species). Put one off each rigger with spoons at 4 and 8 feet down and ran a planar off each side with 2 lines each pulling sticks mainly 4 inch rapalas for browns hanging out near shore. About an hr in with no fish one off the right planar bard releases fired out and line started screaming. After a good 5 minutes I dipped the net in and pulled up the biggest bow i have ever seen come out of the fingerlakes. I forgot my scale but estimated it at a solid 10 to 11 pounds. I've caught big steels out of Lake O but as far as a bow goes (I know theyre basically the same thing but i dont want to have that argument right now) It's the biggest i have ever seen. Is this normal for the smaller finger lakes like Canadice and Hemlock. Biggest ones I've caught out of there are usually 3 to 4 pounds. Ive gotten 12 pound browns and big lakers but never a bow like that. Anyways my buddies first big Bow let alone cold water species produced the biggest smile i have ever seen on someone after pulling in that first trout. I think it's safe to say i got a fishing partner everytime i bring the big boat out or cruise around hemlock/canadice in the 16 footer.

Not bad. Dont blow away. Waves are going to be rolling tmrw. [ Post made via Android ]

So tmrw is a nw 19 mph wind. Im assuming that means big waves if you have a 17 ft aluminum boat? Probably a bad idea? [ Post made via Android ]

Not an easy rask. Replaced the rollers on my trailer over winter so ot shouldnt be an issue. Waders are a good idea. With all the flyfishing i do you would think i would have thought of that. [ Post made via Android ]

80 ft of water or 80 ft down? [ Post made via Android ]

Thanks guys. I may have one lined up. If not you will be hearing from me.

For Hemlock you can pull down a dirt road right in front of the Water treatment facility and follow that down to launch. For Canadice just follow the lake on Canadice rd and you will see a sign then just look for an opening in the trees. My first 2 trips down there i blew by it. There are no docks so launching can be tricky since you cant touch the water. I push it down my trailer holding a rope then climb back to shore and pull the bpat in. Its a pain in the A$$. It is so worth it though. Just cruising arund with no docks or housing.

Awesome. Thanks [ Post made via Android ]

Suggestions or want to sell me one? Post or pm. Thanks [ Post made via Android ]

Anybody hitting trout in the shallows? Thinking bout making the run out there tues or thurs next week. [ Post made via Android ]

I generally wear a pair of breathable waders with cabalas wader pants and heavy wool socks for the bottom layer. For the uppers it goes t shirt sweater wader jacket. My wader jacket however is basically a winter jacket. Its a gander mt guide series. [ Post made via Android ]

I had a random thought and looked up a picture of a landlocked salmon form the fingerlakes region and it looked exactly like it. The big spots it had on it through me off.
