Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock 8/4
Guided John and John (Jr.) today for a great 1/2 day of action! Finally, a couple names I have no trouble remembering. We stayed on Cayuga’s west side today and the guys landed a bunch of (around 8 – though tons more were chasing and hitting) nice lakers to 28″. One fish had a massive lamprey attached – an 18″er! And no, I didn’t eat it.
Two fine brown trout made it to the net today – fat pigs, one around 22″ and one bigger around 25″ (which we let go.) The browns are footballs on this lake! I checked my fishing diary and the one we caught last Friday was 25″ long and weighed 8lbs 9oz – or something along those lines. These are gorgeous fat fish!
My buddy Mike was out with a friend and they also did well – landing a couple big browns and hooking some solid salmon. It’s tough to beat Cayuga Lake when the fishing is this good! And next to nobody was out.
