We had a pretty good 2.5 days of fishing. Friday we netted a limit of 17-22 inch walleye and couple accidental pike and close to 20 smallies with nothing over 2.5 pounds. On Saturday, we launched very early and chased trout (mostly with live bait) until noon with ZERO trout boated. On Sunday, the goal was to get a newly graduated high school student his first musky.......he ended up catching 2 and his dad lost one near the boat with another follow. None of the muskies were over 35 inches which was pretty rare. (Over the last few years, the average musky has been right around the 40-41 inch range.)

The tailwater trout fishery is not what it used to be just 5 years ago. After checking the river trout stocking reports over the past 5 years, the PFBC has decreased the numbers of fish for some reason, especially the past 2 years. The water used to boil with 2-6 inch trout behind every rock or log. Nowadays, we are seeing more suckers rising than trout.

Outflow temps max out at around 68-70 during the day and drop to 59 overnight.



4.5 days of school left in NY.
