Cayuga Lake 5/31 out of Taughannock
Had a guide trip today mostly spent fly-fishing for pike. In a nutshell the pike fishing was slow. Joel did manage his first pike ever, a hard fighting 29" fish on a streamer. We worked the east and west shores. We spotted some fish hovering...

Cayuga out of Taughannock 5/24
Water temps are still excellent for salmon, trout and pike action. Had some very good to excellent pike fishing today. Cayuga has a good class of 30" to 33" fish. It makes sense since last year we had a bunch of 27" fish. Should be...

Skaneateles Lake 5/17 WOW!!!
Best fishing I've had all year - bar none! This lake is smokin' right now. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to throw hair jigs for 12" to 13"+ perch or streamers for rainbows and salmon. Everything was pounding the hair jigs - lakers, rainbows...

Cayuga – Shorefishing Report 4/28
Well I've had a tough week of "not fishing" thanks to nasty winds compounded with a run-in with Bambi on Route 89 a few nights ago, so off to Taughannock I went for some shorefishing/wading with my pal Shahab. We started around 1:30 pm and...

4/15 -16 Seneca + 4/17 Skaneateles
It's been a wild 3 days of serious angling here at the Angling Zone! Friday 4/15 was Seneca for around 4 hours with Shahab, my good friend and co-teacher of "Intro to Flyfishing" at Cornell. We jigged lakers out of Sampson State Park and had...

Cayuga 4/11 and Skaneateles 4/12
I figured I could knock off a couple birds here with one stone. In a nutshell, the Fingerlakes are still in a state of flux following the heavy rains and near flooding. North winds made the last couple days a pain for boat control. I...

Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock 4/8
Spent 4 hours on Cayuga Lake salmon fishing today. Nothing special happening. I'd give Cayuga another 4 or 5 days before I fish it again. Lots of masses of murky debris laden water from the heavy rains drifting around out there. Found a few small...

Cayuga Lake out of Taughannock 3/21
A decent day today. We fished from 11am till just before 6pm. My buddy Shahab and myself landed 4 salmon, 2 of which were keeper-sized 22" and 19". Fish came on streamers fished on sinking flylines and floating lines with sink-tips. Water temps remain very...
