Finger Lakes tribs

[Gump]

Can anyone help me with water levels/conditions on the western Finger Lakes tribs the last couple of days?  Hope to get down this week.  Hoping they rose with the recent rains and snow.....

USGS gauges arent working on my sites.  Must be on vacation too.  Water has been dirty. Should be good next week -Ithaca area.  If your talking about Seneca, I know where Id go!  Rainbows gotta be around

Thanks.  Thinking the Seneca and/or Canandaigua drainages.

Made it down yesterday for a brief walk on one of my favorite streams.  Went 1 for 2 landing a dime bright hen around 22".  Was surprised how clear the stream was despite recent rains and snows.  Stream had good flow, just a bit clear for my liking.....although I'm not complaining

Nice fish Gump.  I too saw a few rainbows this weekend.  More in the 16-18" range though. Water did clear up faster that i thought too.  Still has a nice green color to it.  Nice work

Small gold 1/8 oz. Thomas spoon.  The other fish I lost was on the same lure.  Remember that any lures on the Finger Lakes tribs must have a single hook.

Snagger,  Yeah I was surprised.....I was expecting that emerald green color as well.   I was fishing the Canandaigua watershed and like I was saying good flow but water was clear even in many of the deeper holes.  Strange because leaving Rochester the Irondequoit was up and pretty well stained which is usually a good indicator of how the conditions of those streams a little to the south are.
