Keuka 7/30 -8/1

[treerat]

camped up at the state park for a couple of nights . Fished Monday evening down near the bluff picking up most of our fish on the diver rods back 130 trolling a reel hooked up fly . got one on the rigger pulling a green spoon set @ 50 ' . went 6 for 8 Monday . Tuesday morning we were back down to the bluff at day break . caught 5 and dropped a few hot rod was the same diver rod . Storms moved in from the south so we cut our morning short . On the way back up the lake we had to rescue a few people out of the water . 3 people were in the middle of the lake in very rough water conditions . seems two of those were trying to swim across the lake when the weather turned bad . the third was following in a Kayak . We picked up the two swimmers and another boat picked up the other lady . got them back to shore safely . one of the swimmers was a very young girl guessing 8-10 year old . Tuesday evening was cut short by more storms rolling through .got out for maybe 30 minutes but picked up two quick lakers on the diver rods . Wed morning we picked up another 3 fish before heading home for work Wed night .

Wow! saved a couple of swimmers in rough waters.... Do they always swim out into the lake in low weather? Could have saved the police a tough day.... and a couple of lives, too. Good deal people!!!

Great job and great report.... Great job giving those people a hand, some just don't respect how water and weather conditions can change at the blink of an eye..

Good karma right there- next time you're in a jam no need to worry! Sounds like a fun few days too.

Have heard of people swimming across Keuka with no boat escort. Waves, slight fog, falling or rising sun, etc. basically hiding them. Bass boats and others going 45+ mph. Gives me chills thinking about it.
