Great video👍🏽. I took a bunch of videos this year to give me something to watch in the dead of winter when there isn’t ice and the boat is covered and need to feel like I am fishing again.

Has anyone been on the river lately? I’m looking at the water line along the boulders and the dock where the boat is kept and I can’t reach the water with my hand if I lay down on the dock. I know because I dropped my $120 cutco fillet knife into the drink while loading gear on the boat and couldn’t retrieve it because our net wasn’t long enough to dredge the bottom 😥

Definitely down over 4’

I was on the river last weekend and the water level is down almost 5’. I don’t know how low they typically lower it each year but it is definitely down quite a bit.

I just wish the weather would cooperate. I was on Otisco yesterday morning and all was well until I got poured on. Fortunately I had my deck soap on hand and gave my boat a good scrub and a natural rinse before I called it a day.

Thank you

I am hoping to get out on the lake from the lighthouse launch next weekend and wondering if the water level is high enough for a smaller 17’ boat to get in?

Nice, I didn’t get a landlock this year but about everything else on Skaneateles. I put most of my trolling gear away besides a few rods for steelhead trolling in another week or two on the big O.

The wind/ weather is definitely limiting trips but when I have been able to get out the fishing has been excellent for perch and I’m literally all alone out there.

No idea but could be because the fishing is so good and people are being tight-lipped or they’ve put their boats away. I’m still going out every weekend until the shore ice forms

Each tree will have to be fully protected by fencing or deer will mow them down to nothing. Also protect each trunk or rabbits will damage the trunks every winter and shorten the life of the trees. Many popular eating apple trees are susceptible to disease so I would suggest Dolgo crabapple trees. 4’ saplings will grow to 8’ in 4 seasons and will no longer need protection. The crabapples grow to almost 2” in diameter and deer and turkeys love them. Be aware that if you order trees from out of state their description may not be accurate to our region. My Dolgo crabapples have just started dropping in late September and will continue to drop until February and will attract wildlife throughout the entire hunting season.

I have some I’m willing to sell. Not sure of weight, will check when I get home but have a few at least 3 lbs kicking around.
