42ND ANNUAL CANANDAIGUA LAKE TROUT DERBY June 3rd & June 4th 2023


Recommended Posts

Yep report I read has it at 22lbs back in 79’.  I remember a gang of us went out with a captain that ran the marina in the north end for browns late 80’s. Sliding bobbers with smelt off the drops. Huge browns in the hay day.

How old would you guys guess the 15.15 rainbow was?

 

I remember a discussion with Ned Holmes and Bill Abrams (sp) of Region 8 NYS DEC in the early '70s. I expressed my concrern with the decision to stock BT in Canandaigua Lake... would they enter Naples Creek,  and perhaps alter/have a significant negative impact on RT recruitment. They assured  me it would be monitored very closely as they would never risk any damage to a "free"  $1,000,000 RT hatchery ('70s $$$s).  As part of that discussion they advised that the majority of bows only "run" the creek one time during their life span, with a significant number remaining in the lake, never entering the creek. The stress of the run and spawn does limit the life span.  I think Frogger's estimate of ~10-11 yrs is reasonable and the size may be an indication of a single or perhaps no spawn run into Naples creek.
