Trib photo page To your right is a steelie caught at Linear Park in Pittsford. Linear Park hosts a short section of Irondequoit Creek and is an excellent place to fish.
Lifters are people who pose as anglers.
What they do is use a weighted fly and swing the fly like a pendulum and as the fly goes past the fishes mouth they set the hook. Lifting is nothing but finesse snagging. Its is extremely prevalent here as well as other locations such as Slater Creek a.k.a. the Russell Power Station. Here is my good friend Pete Collin fishing for lakers on the Niagara with his new 14' spey rod. Below is the results of his efforts.
