My husband and I went fishing every weekend in 2009-we fished all the lakes and rivers in our area-and we caught no fish-we did notice that the lakes were (working) meaning new vegitation for the fish so they were not interested in what was on our hooks--We live in upstate NY close to Watkins Glen--We got a canoe for fishing on the non-moterized lakes still no fish--possibly the wrong Bait? We used worms,minnows,jigs,spinners,flys,etc We ran 2 poles each but to no avail--Better luck this year hopefully---Debby
