The fishing will be heating up soon at Chautauqua Lake, New York as the water starts to warm up. The bass are in the shallow water and you can catch some nice bass if you cast out towards the many piers along the lake. Simply keep your boat just outside of the shore and cast towards the piers of which the wood piers hold the big bass. You can use a fly and jig or a spinner to catch some huge lunkers in the Spring at Chautauqua Lake.
We have fished up at Chautauqua Lake for years. A winning combination is to use a large gray feathered fly tipped with a meal worm. A Mepps #1 spinner has also been a great lure to catch just about anything at the lake including bass, bluegill, walleye, perch and crappie. We'll be there next week just before bass season opens.
