Goodyear Lake is a spot that attracts a fair amount of angling traffic during the open-water season.
But it’s also worth a look during the hard-water season, and this past winter offered plenty of opportunities to drill holes at the 366-acre Otsego County water known to hold a variety of warmwater species.

Bo Bartlebaugh was back in the winner’s circle again, this time in a new division.
For Hunter Wallis, it has been a while since he won a National Wild Turkey Federation Grand National turkey calling title. But the Pennsylvania pair last month walked away with victories in the prestigious NWTF championships, considered the Super Bowl of turkey calling competitions.

On this Monday night, I’m settled into the recliner, with the wood stove hissing, temperatures outside in the teens and dropping, watching Indiana and Miami battle it out for college football’s national championship.
My wife, Paula, has other plans, and has left the house to drive up the road a mile or so, away from our home and others in the neighborhood, seeking total darkness, or something close to it. “The lights” may be happening tonight.

Mansfield Creek is probably best known as a tributary to the South Branch of Cattaraugus Creek.
But maybe it shouldn’t be. The fact is Mansfield Creek holds its own as a solid trout-fishing option itself, and is, in some ways, two creeks in one, with stocked trout dominating one stretch and wild trout in good numbers further upstream.

Molly and Riley, on this day, are happy to be back at work, happy that deer season is finally over and happy it’s time to pursue pheasants again.
They love their work, and don’t really know they’re working as they quarter the fields and bust through thick cover with boundless energy and pure joy.

Seasoned turkey hunters, those with decades of experience, can recall their successful hunts with amazing clarity.
But even more so do they remember so vividly the misses, those times when the gobbler ran off after the shot went awry at the moment of truth. You – and I – likely didn’t get down on the stock and line up your shotgun’s bead on the longbeard’s head and neck. A red dot scope undoubtedly would have helped.

I’ve used a lot of different rifles during my 50-plus years of deer hunting. Early on in my hunting life that was because the only firearm I owned was a Harrington & Richardson Topper Junior 20 gauge shotgun. So, when deer season rolled around I carried whatever rifle my Uncle Cecil handed me.
That was fine with me; I was just happy he or my brother-in-law Don took me afield.

Our 16 years in the Adirondacks came to a close in 2013 when we returned to the flatlands of the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Tier of Pennsylvania, straddling the state line and often hunting both sides of the border on the same day.
Our time in the Adirondacks was memorable, and there’s a lot we still miss today.

Cross Lake, at times, may be a bit overlooked as an angling destination.
That’s perfectly understandable, with several of the Finger Lakes – including red-hot Cayuga Lake – located to the south, and the much larger and better known Oneida Lake to the east, on the other side of Syracuse.
