    Anyone use ugly sticks for downrigger rods etc. I used them years ago but they would loose the strightness and ended up with a C shape after repeated use. Also they became very spongy. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I have to agree. Walleye will and have destroyed many trout waters. Walleye and Lakers only share the same water for a few months. Lakers spawn fall, walleye spring . Rainbow landlocked browns share the same water 24/7 and walleye cream the trout young. Baby trout are stupid. Yes walleye will live and fill a void in the fingerless at what cost? Put walleye in Ontario. Oneida etc. They stopped the stocking in Owasco as it was extremely detrimental to the rainbows. Ask the DEC. Randomly assuming certain fish should be in water you like doesn't mean they should be stocked. I love walleye. I'll travel to various lakes to fish them. But I go to the finger lakes for trout. Why? Because we here in central NY have quality trout fishing. QUALITY. Leave the warm water fish where they belong. Just my thoughts from talking to the DEC and biologists. Love this site, so much info.

    The initial reason I asked about walleye in Skaneateles is that they simply destroy rainbow populations. They occupy the same strata and follow up rainbow spring soawning. Years ago the state stocked them in owasco. The outcome was not good for the rainbows. Walleye stocking was halted and the trout population rainbow are making a comeback. I suggest you research walleye stocking in trout lakes and you will if more than 50 trout lake were impacted in a very detrimental way. Be careful what you wish for. Just info. Not trying to ensite trouble. The walleye in Skaneateles were definitely stock by someone with little information on the damage that can be done. I refer to previous posts.

    I fished long point state park, went south Wednesday. Started at 4 pm. Had 5 in the boat lakers, released all : 2 over 5lbs. 1 rainbow. Shut off by 6pm. Sky's cleared, wind went nne, big high pressure system. Fun while it lasted. Huge bait balls. Fish stacked all around. Tough to compete with the real stuff.

    So some may have heard that a walleye was caught, photographed and released on Skaneateles. 14 to 15 in. Article in the paper . Anyway, how many of you fish Skaneateles, how many have caught a walleye there. How long have people been catching them. The state said it never released them and there is no access to allow natural entry. Some have said they catch them all the time. I'm there at least weekly, never seen one. Any of you?

    VHS, couldn't think of a better thing to happen to the gobbies. But it spreads. The big lake is the catch all of the entire great Lakes system. The fingerlakes catch all the farm affluent. Road salt on and on. Where do we start? I'm very happy to see so many people on this site appreciate our resources. I personally release 98% of all my fish. I'm not telling anyone else they should. I love catching lakers, LL, smallmouth. Rainbows. Thrilling. I take a picture if large and release. Enjoy our lakes. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    True. I was simply stating the lampreys, issue. Young of the year struggle for food. Correct on the shell fish invasion, the beaches of Cayuga, Seneca other lakes are covered with cast up shells. Clear water, washed in farm pesticides, herbacides. What a list. Sad. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Some 25 to 30% of the fish I've seen have nice red circles on them some healed some raw. If the state doesn't treat spawning streams it's a lost cause. The DEC manages the the problem with inconsistent funds Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Started at 4 pm. Went south east side marked a huge bait ball. Marked it and continued south. Trolled till 6 without a touch. Ran back to the bait ball 80 ft. Set rigger at 65 had a steady laker pick. All 20 in. 5 in 40 min. Went in to 40 ft and hit a 7 lb laker 20 ft down. All spoons green colors. Tried sticks and spoons on top for landlocks. Not a touch. But the bait ball was huge. Lots of fish above bellow etc. Water temp 47.7 to 49. Fun night. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
