Took a quick drive up to the Black Creek at the Genny Sunday morning. Water is looking good.
This means I need to UV proof the kayak this week, and get the gear in order, because Pike Season starts Saturday!
You’ll see me skimming up and down the creek either at Churchville or at the creek mouth. I haven’t decided yet.

When Bruce Richards told me last year that Scientific Anglers builds thousands of different types of fly lines, my jaw just about hit the floor. But as he explained it, there is a clear market need for specialty lines of all different tapers, lengths and weights, and SA was in a position to build them, so why not?
Or, to find out about Scientific Anglers lines, or to buy some, check out Scientific Anglers at Bass ProShops.
I don’t know Pete Collins, but if his business is any indication of the man, I’d probably like him. He’s an outdoorsman and a consultant in forestry management. Also, apparently, he builds his own spinners, similar to Panther martins. I like that about him too, considering I’m an avid fly tyer.
Well, as it happens, Pete was fishing the East Koy a week or so ago, and left behind a box of home made spinners. Which is really a shame. So if you picked them up, enjoy. And if you read Pete’s post, he thinks you might want to share the wealth.
I haven’t fished the East Koy since I moved out to Rochester. Have to put that on my to do list this year.
Regardless of today’s snowy conditions in WNY, I’m thinking about the kayak. I’d very much like to be pike fishing on Black Creek today, but 10 inches in the forecast, so I guess that’s out.
Regardless, I’m posting up this picture of my LiquidLogic kayak on my Saturn, because I wish this is what I was looking at right now.
Maybe next weekend… :)
While I didn’t bring the kayak with me, I did manage to get in a few good days of fishing on my Pennsylvania trip.

Two lakes today… First was Memorial Lake… We intended on renting a boat there, but sadly, it turns out you can only rent by appointment during the week there. The scouting report hadn’t turned up that vital information, and neither did the website, but such is life. We managed to get in some shore fishing by the dam, and turned out a few good bass and pickerel.
Secondly, he headed out to Kaercher Creek Lake. For the drive between the two, the weather was UNREAL. Fantastic thunderstorms, with lightning crashing down all around us. We weren’t sure we could even fish when we got there, but we went anyways.
When we arrived, there was a light drizzle, but the lightning was gone, so we set out towards the end of the lake furthest from the dam ( the east end, I believe ). There’s a concrete pad there that we started casting from, and we got into bass right away. Then, I had something break me off very quickly. Must’ve been a sizable pike. The fishable shoreline is lined pretty heavily by weeds, but this would be a GREAT kayak fishing lake.

Our annual run up to Promised Land State Park. And our annual boat rental. We hooked into a few very nice largemouth (15+ inches, which is great for that Lake) and a good amount of pickerel. The bass were biting VERY lightly, but if you could feel it, they were there to be caught.
