be really cool to see a pic of a 6lbs + pickerel out of Hemlock 

oh wow that is sweet!! good luck out there only 44 days or so !!!

didn't see this sorry late reply

4lbs is an absolute giant in either lake. 

anyone caught anything over 2lbs ? 

biggest chains on live minnow off deep water close to weed lines i mean close . mid lake on Hemlock is best....good luck 

nice shirt though

Great morning to be on the water and the fishing was great too.  Started off with a rush as the first 45 minutes could hardly keep 1 rigger and 1 dypsey in the water!  A nice landlocked and lake trout were the highlights but a group of smaller rainbows provided great entertainment.  Kept a steady pick of fish over the next few hours with spoons outfishing flasher/flies by a wide margin.  Picked up a nice rainbow later in the morning and completed the Slam with this stout Brown.  Tried to get off the water before 11 but gridlock at Deans made it closer to 12.  Hoping the great weather and great fishing both continue.

caught alot of lakers on that same spoon in there , seems to work a bit deeper

wow nice Brown!!

Nice report!! 

wow lake gets cold going down is that 48degrees at 50s ? probably why I always had better luck trolling higher from my kayak with a dipsey rig.

also jigged it but only had luck with bass minnows in 40-50 fow just a slow drag.

it can be really tough in summer Hemlock is a little more forgiving .

great info here thanks

Go to Dean's on Cayuga and catch fish alot of reports here. 

we kayaked Canandaigua this weekend a total zoo stay away and fishing will never match Cayuga

try the shoreline along Canadice alot of spots to cast the weeds are here and there but manageable.  sunnies everywhere 

🤣🤣🤣

thanks everyone very appreciated 

hey great videos you got the program down!! tough landing from the yak ! nice fish 

Hello is there any place to get live minnows for fishing in the finger lakes area? any baitshops that have bass minnows? thanks 

jeez I suddenly moved onto another topic😦

nice!! love Cayuga

biggest Bow I ever saw come outta there was a 12lbs male a guy had in a cooler at the north end about 10 years ago.

caught on a streamer he told me the guy was in a small Whaler.

It was a sight to behold 

tell you what that is a stellar day on Hemlock!! nice report thanks 😊 

Hey cool man!!!

I soloed alot from a 16 foot Smokercraft out of Golden Hills.  Alot of Kings from 100 on in in late summer did really well early am there miss it alot ! I pulled 1 dipsey rod and 1 rigger all I needed .

Brown action was good too.

Just always looked for S -SW winds less than 1 foot and keep an eye on the radar !!!

Good luck be careful a radio is a good idea too.

You can also get them (especially browns and lakers) on frozen sawbellies but in that application not a s good as  live ones.

Hello SK8 are you fishing under slip bobbers like 40 ft down? wondering i tried this on Hemlock and caught big largemouth and smallies suspended years ago

got this shot today left a decoy out after last hunt 

wow that fish doesn't look real so awesome!! love the Atlantics

there are porta potties at the gravel launches , both have back down gravel launches many boats launch there . 1 north end and south end at Hemlock.

1 back down launch at Canadice East side half way down.

no docks at all and kinda shallow when I had a 16 footer I wore waders on both lakes . I carry my kayak or drag and dump it in anywhere I can muscle that sucker to waters edge ...love it 

We fish from kayaks on both lakes, Canadice can be a bit more busy on weekends especially using the kayak drop area close to the south end.

Pan fishing both lakes along the shore line is fun tons of sunnies and I do target crappies they are tough to find a bit more searching around log jams and structure close to shore.

If you are strong paddlers go to Hemlock south end and paddle the shore line you can't miss a few bass and pan fish . less congested more room to roam. 

good luck keep an eye on the wind

Hi dre alot of boats at the North end yesterday I went for a walk with my wife the water looked still murky and cold think it needs 2 weeks to settle down 

Invasive Asian swamp eels ....seems somehow 🤔 like wtf right? there was a report of them in the lake . 

hey thanks for the replies if I get down there I will leave a detailed report I also yak fish have had success pulling dipsey divers for lakers. also crappies on minnows
