Lake trout

[Solitario Lupo]

Looks like lake trout are on the return. Glad to see them successfully spawning as they were once native. Plus they get big so should be fun to catch. Might have to make a trip to Erie and find them.

Lake Erie success story: Lake trout finally naturally reproducing following 60-year effort

Lake trout were once plentiful in the lake, numbers collapsed due to overfishing, habitat degradation and invasive species.

They sound hopeful. I hope they're right!

It's actually a shorter trip for us to go to Rochester than to Erie. Went up in 2019 before covid. Unfortunately the day we picked the weather sucked. Wife got her 'Puked on a boat' badge though

Me too, Lake O shoreline has a bit more wild crowd and Erie seems less “NY” lol. I hear Erie is great for walleye. Not my game but some like to chase them. When I think Lake Trout I think Geneva, self proclaimed “Lake Trout capitol of the world.” Then again, I’ve been looking at where to charter out of for Lake O and seems there’s better odds of some bite in Lake O with more species around.

Seems like a decent price for the full day. My fishing would be Erie since I’m not going to drive 6hrs to 7hrs for a couple of days. Plus my fishing on charters isn’t the greatest either.

I heard some lakers come in with the rest of the trout off of lake o hoping they start with Erie’s tribs.

Geneva is the top of Seneca lake. 30 mins east of Canandaigua (the town). I used to live in Canadaigua. Signs all over Geneva about “Lake Trout Capitol of the World”. I was to busy and poor to chase them settling for a few trips for lowly carp around my place.
