Cayuga out of Taughannock 4/20
I had to get out today – the weather was too nice! Didn’t feel like driving too far so I launched out of Taughannock. The salmon fishing on Cayuga has been very poor this year, but conditions were absolutely perfect today. Sun, nice north winds and water temps around stream mouths were around 45 to 48. Smelt should be around and the salmon should be around as well. That is, if we have salmon!
I worked around Taughannock and Frontenac points with streamers. Never saw a fish or had a hit. Ran all the way up to Sheldrake and finally got a hit, but no fish. Marked quite a few lakers around that area. I jigged up one in 88′ near the point. Unclipped (wild) fish – which I released. Lakers are still around the King Ferry area as well as south of Sheldrake. Best LL salmon action this year is still on Seneca and Skaneateles.
