Along with our finger lakes hunts, we are now proud to offer summer fishing charters as well as a fall cast and blast package! BRVO is continuously expanding with more huntable acreage each year, and this year we are proud to expand onto the water with our fishing and cast and blast trips! |
Finger Lakes Hunts
It is something that has been in the works for quite some time, but as with everything here at BRVO, we make sure we have all of our "ducks in a row" before diving into any new venture. Our western zone finger lakes hunts are something that we have been working diligently towards over the past few years. We are now proud to be able to say that we are offering hunts for what is some of the finest gunning not only in New York, but the Atlantic Flyway! This season runs during the 1st half of January, and those willing to brave the elements of January weather can experience world class gunning for fully plumed late season ducks! Both divers and puddlers can be hunted, many times from the same location during this split. It is not uncommon to see a constant wave of birds in flocks numbering in the hundreds on one of these hunts! Fully plumed late season drakes are the target during this time, making excellent specimens for the taxidermist! If your looking for a trophy drake or two, OR MORE, then this season is for you! Redheads, broadbills, goldeneye, bufflehead, and the ever coveted "King of ducks", the canvasback, are the most commonly targeted diver species on these waters. Mixed bags on these birds are a common occurrence with the right weather! Migrating mallards, black ducks, and gadwal are the targeted dabblers and typically can be taken from the same hunting location as the divers! Other than the Chesapeake Bay, float hunts on the Finger lakes region during January are where you are most likely to kill a nice Bull Can in the Atlantic Flyway during this time of year! For those in search of the prized canvasback, this region of the state provides the best chance at killing one of these birds over the decoys! Due to the high demand of these hunts, the short season, and the amount of people we can safely put in a boat each day, it goes without saying that these hunts fill up fast! So if a trophy hunt on the finger lakes is what your looking for don't hesitate or it could be too late!
Summer Fishing Charters
Summer fishing Charters have been a common request from several of our clients, as well as a common inquiry from potential customers. What we found surprising, was the amount of anglers that preferred to fish away from the big waters of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence and target the smaller lakes and rivers scattered throughout our area. The fish are abundant in these waters and these locations are often overlooked by other anglers. Bass, Northern Pike, Pickerel, and Walleye are the targeted species and most of the waters we fish have all of them! Anglers can choose to fish from a canoe in more remote locations or from the comfort of the boat. Canoe trips allow us to launch in areas that are remote and see minimal, if any gas powered boat traffic. Our boat charters are a bit more comfortable than a canoe, especially on a full day trip and give us the option to be mobile in order to cover more water and find more fish! Half day and full day trips are available, and all fishing gear, tackle, and live bait is provided! We have designed these trips to be relaxing, educational, and FUN! You will quickly realize that you don't need the big water, to catch big fish!
Fall Cast & Blast Packages
Feather and Fin! The perfect combination! Fall cast & blast trips will give hunters the option to spend their afternoons fishing rather than loafing at the hotel. Our customers can now enjoy an action packed morning of in your face gunning for honkers and ducks, followed by an afternoon of bending rods for fall Pike, Bass, and Walleye! This has been a request from several of our clients over the past few years and we are now proud to offer it! As with our regular fishing charters, all necessary gear, tackle, and bait is provided along with fish cleaning and packaging! Cast and blast charters will run from Sept 1-Nov 30th weather permitting. If you are undecided on the fishing when you book the waterfowl hunt, no worries! You can always add it later if you would like!
