Owasco Lake 7/15 AM out of Emerson Park
We decided to switch up gears today and target lakers on Owasco Lake, given the derby happening on Cayuga Lake and the slower action we’d had over the past couple days (although yesterday wasn’t bad.) I was also looking forward to seeing how things were shaping up on Owasco.
Very few anglers were out this AM as we launched at 6:30. Lake trout action was good to excellent on 24″ to 26″ hard fighting fish. We picked them up in around 80′ to 90′ FOW. Fish look healthy and plenty of bait is around. Greg nabbed 6 fish in fairly short order. We left the active fish in order to scout some other areas and maybe pick up a brown or rainbow. No luck with that. In some places we encountered more lake trout but activity had slowed considerably since this AM. Eventually we fished our initial area and Greg picked up another laker. Water clarity was very good on Owasco Lake. Boat traffic was low until around 11 am. By the time we left the launch, it was VERY busy!
