Cayuga Lake out of Myers Park 7/4 AM
Guided Ian from Wisconsin today starting just after 6 am. We were out until 10:45 or so before we headed back. Myers was getting busy but it wasn’t crazy, yet. Lake trout were on his bucket list and he happened to be in the area so I was glad that he gave me a call. We had very solid fishing today with 8 nice fish landed. He got one on his first drop that got off just before I could net it. Other than that, a few hits were had but he landed every good hookup – he was a real natural at the technique. Fish ran from 14.5″ (amongst the smallest laker I’ve seen on Cayuga) to a couple pushing 28″ to 29″. A couple of the fish had old lamprey wounds but were in good condition otherwise. One hit/momentary hookup may have been had by a salmon/rainbow. We had good fishing on both sides of the lake from AES on north. Water clarity is still excellent! I am in awe – it’s probably been 4 to 5 years since I’ve seen a clear Cayuga Lake going past the 4th of July. I sure hope this continues!
This Saturday and Sunday remain open. After that, July 12th, 14th and then from the 20th through the 27th and 29th through the 31st remain open.
