10/1\14 Almost a full house. 10/3

In the zone and for folks from the board. Yes I will admit I forgot to get my license yesterday and did not remember until Pineville so I was late.  Got to meet Uglyfish, fish with Fichy and his wife (even if it was a hundred yards apart) and see pafisher.   All in all a great day, but the fishing was less than spectacular, far fewer fish seen and hooked. I got to play with  a king for a bit, two ho's and a steel. Fished for a solid 7.5 hours and worked hard for those takes. I did get to net a nice steel for Charlie so that made my day and I am sure there will be a nice pic to follow. Hopefully other had a better day, but I think not as Jack had a equipment malfunction.
I do know my neck was KILLING ME towards then end so here I sit with an ice pack on and a nice little white pill making me feel pretty good.
TB I already lost that pack of swivels and had to buy a new one this am too.

    I was nice to meet both Clint and jack yesterday. Always good to share good water with good people. Fishing has been there if you work hard you might get a reward. I will post a bigger report when I get home. Till then

    Well fished with Charlie and Wayne this morning.  Got there just before sunrise and the lot was loaded. Went down and set up in a decent spot. Once it got light, saw it was Charlie next to me. Second time that happened.  It was as before there are fish there, you have to work and more are fouled than fair by a long shot. I did ok on red headed buggers and long rubber legged buggy streamers again with a red head. Played with a few and landed none. Charlie got another nice steel.
     
    It was mad house as far as people and alot of $#itty rude people due to the numbers.  Let me tell you, just because you know the guy does not mean  it's ok to wedge in. Happened x3.  First guy was a noob and did not know better so I kindly told him that he was standing right where I was drifting and literally on top of the fish. He backed up but did not offer to leave. Went upstream as I saw a guy leave and got a spot, broke off and went to shore to retie and this azzhat literally jumps right in where I was, did not say a word, but walked back out 5 feet from him and started to cast, we exchanged a few pleasantries and he said there was enough room for both of us and again the age old adage that he drove 4 hours to get here and wanted to fish next to his buddy.  I told him I was not about to ruin the drift of the guy above me because I am not an Azz#ole and left. Later had another guy  squeeze in next to me to be next to his buddy even after Charlie wife gave him the business and told him there was not enough room.  Since he was above me he only managed about a 5 foot drift for the next hour or so because I gave up no ground on my casting.  Was a small squirmish below me as someone was trying to save a spot for someone who left to get lunch.  It was like Columbus day weekend out there guyz.

    It was Tunes, it was. 
    Oh, and the leaf hatch is in FULL effect. Every other cast was a leaf.

    That's a problem with the present conditions- everyone trying to get to the same few holes.

    TB there was not one space open, even below the hole had 5 guys at 0630. The snaggers across the hole had fair luck. Fishing wise I would have been better served staying home and getting some wood in.

    Sounds like hell... Hope I enjoy myself tomorrow. Just looking to get the boy in to some fish. May end up holding ground in some messy water to avoid congestion. Honestly, if these fish don't start running hard between sunrise tomorrow and sun set Sunday there is definitely something wrong... The weather is turning and all signs point towards change. Winds and rain are gonna be seasonable with possibility of even below average temps tomorrow night... Bring if on!!!

    Me and Charlie got there 4:45 to get the spot we wanted and there were 15-20 already there. Got into a few and no one squeezed us on the rock all and all a great day. But more because of the story telling and hanging out then the fishing.

    Depending on rain fall amount it might take till mid week or so I think.
    With fish still being caught in water 170 feet or so it will take a bit of flow with the cooler water to reach them.
    But this weather will definately tell the story.
    The hatchery fish may not have imprinted or been near Canadian rivers when they matured and run there.
    We have had years of Canadian fish showing here in good numbers.

    I landed 7 kings and they all had the fin. I would have thought that the flood scenario would have been one of the reasons for lack of naturally spawned fish, but not from my limited observation.  I'm glad we're not standing in the rain today fighting off azzhats and goons  to keep a spot.  This is  one of those times the DSR pass pays off, Dime. Hope your boy lands a monster.  We should have tried that inside , outside drift thing earlier, Wayne. I bet we could have gotten a few more hook-ups. We did OK, though.

    When 2 bob want water he is of a size to just sort of melt into it!  Between the 6'6" Height and that "I used to eat puppy dogs for breakfast" look  he can get in his eyes, he can generally find real estate!  I would really like to see someone tell him he can't fish in a spot because it belongs to someone who left to get lunch!
     
    This is the first time in as long as I remember that there is a full blown run into the Genesee before the Salmon has taken off.  But if Fichy get 7 yesterday, there are a lot of fish around.
     
    http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/water_pdf/csmi2013progrpt.pdf  contains
    "Pelagic Prey Fish Gradient West to East"  Hydroacoustics were used aboard the RV Lake Guardian and other vessels to study lake-wide patterns of fish distribution. Pelagic prey fish such as alewife and rainbow smelt were found to be most abundant in the western basin.  Research will explore how zooplankton and temperature may influence observed patterns, while fish managers use such data to balance predator-prey levels."   There is also a graph illustrating, but I could not cut and paste the imbedded file.  Eastern basin fish are finding a low density of prey, and we may be seeing some results of this.  As 2Bob suggests, maybe they went to Canada for some of that bacon, and some beaver tail!

    Not to imply that if Fichy gets them, everybody must be getting them, just that 7 in day is pretty good density!  FIMLOL!

    Lucky, I actually landed 6 fair hooks and one foul (I'm bad, I admit it) over 4 days and about 50 hrs.  The kings mostly came from a spot where they were unmolested that no one had found yet. Some of the lifters in the LFZ were getting that many in a day with no problem, not me....

    Fair enough, that is not the kind of fish density that would be expected by October.  We'll have to see if all hell breaks loose with this front coming through, if not, this could be a slim salmon season, which will probably push a lot of pent up angler demand into November and make for a less than idyllic steelhead late season, to which I have deferred my time off because I hate crowds, and I am less than fond of New Jersey people (and more recently, Ohio people that are travelling this far because they have been ostracized thoroughly in their home state and neighboring PA.)
