Hear the words “Allegheny Reservoir,” and the typical sportsman immediately thinks of fishing, whether it be for walleyes, bass, muskellunge, or panfish.

It was supposed to be a nice, leisurely salmon fishing trip on Lake Ontario, launching out of Oswego, N.Y., with veteran Capt. Ed Monette, who operates Cannonball Runner Charters.
Fishing buddies Terry Catlin of Chemung, and Todd Smith, of South Waverly, Pa., and I had it all planned: box out with three kings each and return home with plenty of filets, as have so many other anglers this summer, including those aboard Monette’s 35-foot Wellcraft 3300. Mother Nature and the salmon had other ideas.

Cazenovia Lake is popular during both the open-water and ice-fishing seasons, but the Madison County water isn’t without its challenges for anglers.
It doesn’t fall into your typical definition, if you have one, of “date night.” But it has worked for Paula and I, and after three dozen years of marriage chances are pretty good it’s not likely to change.
This summer, our atypical date nights will consist of regular Wednesday night trips to the local sportsmen’s club and its trap range. There is very little chit-chat, unless you count “pull!” as date night conversation.

Mention Braddock Bay to most sportsmen and women and their immediate thought is fishing, and with good reason. The major slice of Lake Ontario is a great departure point out into the big water, but a fine fishery all its own, especially known for its ice-fishing opportunities in years when the big bay locks up.
But the bay is also a part of the Braddock Bay Wildlife Management Area, and the WMA’s surrounding lands offer some fine hunting in a suburban area where access can be a challenge.
A central Pennsylvania pheasant-rearing facility has begun supplying New York with ring-necked pheasants in a restocking effort at DEC’s Reynolds Game Farm to provide birds for the state’s hunters this fall.
DEC is purchasing 30,000 birds from Mahantongo Game Farms, a sprawling commercial facility in Dalmatia, Pa., that’s been in operation since 1935, and is one of the largest game farms in the country. DEC is purchasing the pheasants for about $405,000 after losing its flock earlier this year to an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Beckett Kraft and his brother, Sullivan, didn’t exactly get off to a slow start in the four-event N.Y. Bass Junior Division tournament trail.
They got off to no start at all. Unable to compete in the season’s opening event on Onondaga Lake, the tandem rallied with three straight strong finishes – two seconds and a third – to narrowly win the overall season points title and qualify for the 2023 Bassmaster Junior National Championship.

Just five days into New York state’s spring gobbler season, I took the unheard of leap – actually just a small step – into Mike Cusano’s bass boat for a day of fishing on Oneida Lake.
My turkey-hunting friends were incredulous. In past years I’ve dismissed potential trips out to Lake Erie’s smallmouth factory and the prospect of 5-pound bronzebacks (and maybe even larger) in favor of my gobbler obsession.

Bottom line: if you can’t find a spot to yourself on Catskill Creek, which winds its way from Schoharie County 37 miles downstream to the Hudson River at the village of Catskill, you probably need to purchase a trout water of your very own.
