what were you using? did you catch a glimpse at what the other guy was using? we have fished there before using rapalas and caught dinks, have yet to fish there and catch a legal fish.

i was using #7 floating rapalas in fire tiger,i had the same problem last year with keepers.i looked at  agrowth rate chart and i'm convinced the fish that didn't keep will keep this year.the guy i talked to was uing a 7ft leader with1/2 once eeg sinker to get the #13raps down.

Hey I read somewhere that you need a special permit from rochester water authority to fish this lake any info??
Only ice fished it never from the open water.
Thanks

You dont need a permit for Honeoye.  Hemlock is the one you need a permit for.
