Made the trip up to fish Tuesday ,Weds and Thursday,  the usual spots were crowded as usual but I was able to find less crowded conditions with a little walking ,  Tuesday was windy, Wednesday and Thursday was nice weather.  My best day was weds  played with quite a few and landed some. 
For the most part the people I ran into were  real nice although on weds. I did have a guy come in right below me and really worked his best to snag one but was was not successful in doing so , he was quite blantant with his snagging technique. On Thursday he was right in the area I was weds so I went in below him, although slower day I did get a few,  he was still thrashing away with no results.  I tried to have a casual conversation with him in the hopes that I could help a little but he was not interested ,, his buddy came over. We talked gave him a few ideas to try and  he did get  one later on which I netted for him he was thrilled tooked all types of pictures for his son ,,  and he really wanted to make sure it was released healthy, so I helped him with that. , maybe he will be able to talk to his buddy .  I did not say anything to him about his buddy, just enjoyed the moment with him...  but to be honest I was glad to see fishing out performed snagging on those 2 days . 
I tried my new switch rod , it is obvious I need to spend some more time on local waters practicing , I would like to say is was because the water level being 1200 was the cause , but it was not, it was because I suck at it . 
Will head down next week to fish for some Atlantics and I am only bringing the switch, that way I will have to stick with it . 
All in all a great first trip of the year ,  be back in a few weeks 

Thx for the report.  Glad you got some fish.

Yes good report hopefully the wind lets up a bit for net week

That's a good report, Cape. You caught some  fish,helped folks,  had some decent weather and avoided real crowds. That's as good as gets 99% of the time for me.

Nice report cape... and good job with your helpful efforts. Less is definitely more when it comes to switch casting...

Atlantic's???? Where???

Some of the finger lakes tribs have runs.

Lake George use to have a decent fishery this time of year. The LL  salmon would come in to shallower water with the drop in water temps. I waded off what's called the Million Dollar Beach and threw streamers to imitate smelt .  Not a lot of fish, but the ones you did get were incredible fighters. Not enough to bother with now. Wherever you're going, I hope it's successful, Cape.

Well once again  I went fish less  for ll atlantics , but I did do better with the switch rod ,  Andy  you are so right. " less is more " .   Still was a great day on the water . 
 
Heading back to SR on wednesday  
Hope every one has a safe and happy holiday
