That is very helpful, thank you. Wrong time of year. Just came back from another 6 hours of no fish. I love fishing, but I’m not willing to fish all night for maybe a fish or two. So what months are the walleye fishing on the river typically the best?

Had one rigger on the bottom. Will put other one down there tonight and try and find those drop offs. Thank you

Fished the channel around Carleton Island from 7:00PM to 11:30PM. 50-100 FOW. Tried 100, 200, 300 coppers, various lead core, downriggers with cheaters and top lines. Speed 1.8 - 2.2 mph. Fished stick baits and a few worm harnesses. Surface temp was 73, about 50 feet down went to 65, about 100 feet down about 60 degrees. Charted some nice bait and fish all over the water column. A lot of fish down deep 60-100 feet. I’m really wondering what type of fish those would likely be? At temps of 60-65 degrees I would not think they are walleye, but not sure what else they might be in the river at that depth. Anyway, all we managed to boat was a perch. Here all week and would like to find some walleye. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Heading up to the Carlton Island area next week and planning to bring all of my trolling equipment. In general what depths would I be targeting this time of year for walleye? Riggers, weighed lines? Do they bite during the day or only at night? Any general guidance would be great appreciated.

I was out Monday June 20 around Deans and there was some but pretty minor at that point.

Good to see you out there Anthony, thanks for the info. We got a few lakers, copper 300 mostly. Two bows, second one came at 11:00 on cheater, weighed 8 lbs. Made the trip over to Cayuga well worth it.

I’ll be there, first time in about 20 years

Ended up going to St Vincent area in September. Fished a lot from the canoe, only one Brookie. Great time though!

Rigger was at 100, estimating cheater was around 50

Targeted bows. Started west side heading south, strong south wind, nothing for 2 hours. Crossed over to east side, fished another hour, dropped a couple lines down to the bottom. Picked up a couple Lakers and a nice bow on a cheater 50 feet down. That’s all for now.

Looking to head to the Adirondacks for a weekend (mid September) and do some canoe fishing / camping. Looking for suggestions on good places to target brook, lake and rainbow trout.
