Tuna... check your text messages in the a.m. I'd do plan c if I were you bud... be safe out there

Yep 2 k and climbing a rope straight up.  

if you haven't paid for your room In advance but wEre still planning on coming this weekend could be safe at to cancel just my honest opinion

Plan c is head home and drink beer all day
Thanks for the help guys

Plan d should be to loo at some of the other local ditches that are not connected to the SR.  Some of them may be in great shape.

My three go to flow charts have all broken the daily record already today... Still rising... one in particular crushed it by 2000 cfs... running at 4090 right now.... previous record was less than half of that! Sr just surpassed the previous record by 10 cfs and still rising... tribs to the north are coming over their banks at this point!

My question is what type of lake effect snow is gonna be forming In a few weeks from all of this warm water pumping in to the big lake...


Gotta love the weather theead

Well at pre dawn things looked dim for plan b. we went to grab some joe and somehow I got lost in ice fishing.and Fichy wanted to throw some rope. As the light broke through so did some hope and hold off on plan c.
Back the scene of my crime ( camping) and it was quiet. Toured the north side of river up to UFZ and it looked busy even the oh well trib. No sign of my partner. Back to my scene of crime for another try at rousing the owner outta bed. No luck.. Sun was now peaking through the clouds and south side in pineville was empty and looked fishy. Gave it a spinning go with no dice. Clouds came and so did the RAIN !!
Time to implement plan C:

Is plan c my plan a?

The gauge up on north is 2800 right now... fish creek hit 5 grand about an hour ago. Very I interested to see what they're gonna do up on light house hill... there's gotta be a ton of water barreling in up there.

Tuna , try fishing the north side of the second (larger island ) in the area I mentioned

have you looked west of syracuse...i hear those are fishing well

no I didn't.. Heard West was best also but was not into more driving to find most glory spots full of fishers as well. Things were very Busy today..
There were some Small tribs of the SR fishable, again seeing 4+ cars at designated parking locations was more then I wanted.. Besides, I wasn't into it anyway..
The Main Ontario Tribs in the area blew out, I mean toast.. Everything was wicked nasty until I got off the hill below Herkimer..
 
Again, there were places to fish effectively with my spinning rod.. I just picked the ones without any luck.. All the popular spots I seen bent rods and one spot last night (inaccessible today) 2 guys (the only two there) said they had a banner day.. They were 1/2 mile up from us and 1/4mile up from 2 bobs spot.. It was not an option today..
Don't know how Fichy made out as I lost him this morning.. His area had 4 cars (not him) with only a small section to fish so I went to an area that had none and got good drifts with sacks.. Big fat SKUNK for me..
It was a great time while it lasted even if the fishing for me was poor..
Now I'm having just as much fun rockin' in the basement playing with my toys..
Not sure of my fishing status up there for awhile as some meat needs to hit the freezer.. I got 4 tags of my own to fill :)
May get a jones for chrome as I know they are there to be had.. We shall see.. BRING ON THE ICE !!!!

When I checked they had kicked it up a 50 cfs notch.  BAM!
 
But Pineville has crested, and is dropping, so there is hope for next week.

Hey boys, coming up next week for several days. Our problem is my buddy who has the driftboat can't make it up until  Thurs night we'll be up there Tuesday.  What is your advice about a safe CFS to wade upper and lowr fly zones. Last time we waded at high water it was pretty dicey but I think the CFS was well over 2G.. Thanks

Ok, I stand corrected, and I agree, before the easy path to the water there was almost no one in there, and now you could set up a number machine from a Deli.  But there are a couple of really sweet spots, although I think playing and landing a fish might be a real challenge.  We saw a few fish hooked, we saw none brought to hand.
 
I hope you are wrong about the res, 2B and I are planning a 2day this week, the Genesee is coming up rapidly now, and I don't want to take off work to fish the ditches.  Steelhead season 2013 is quite a blowout so far this year.  You'll have a great stock of fish for the winter season, but all that hot jumpy warm water stuff will be out of them once the snow flies.  They will still take nice pictures though!
