Syracuse.com - Warners angler lucky at catching Skaneateles Lake rainbows and lottery scratch-off tickets

He always brings a few scratch-off tickets with him for when the fish aren't biting.

Bill Bohemier, of Warners, holds up a nice, 24-inch rainbow trout he landed last week while fishing from shore on Skaneateles Lake.

He wrote:

"I thought I would give fishing one last try before opening day of deer season. Good decision. Fishing on the east side of Skaneateles Lake I caught this nice, 24- inch male took my worm/marshmellow rig.

"The last three weeks I've caught several in the 17-,18-,and 19-inch (range). Right away I knew this one was bigger.

"I always take a few scratch off lottery tickets with me to keep me busy while the fish aren't biting. I had just scratched off a $25 dollar winner and said to myself, 'This is going to be my lucky day.' "
