Cayuga 6-15-12

[Hookjaw]

Although we have fished many of the other lakes this year, today was the first day out on Cayuga. Our results quickly reminded me of why I love this lake so much . Had a crew that got together from as far away as Montana for a day out on the lake. We managed to boat a ton of great lake trout, landlocks, as well as a nice rainbow and brown. Some very happy customers to say the least We started out the day near Long Point. Marked a ton of fish but only managed to get a couple of small lakers to show interest. We picked up and moved to the Sheldrake area and immediately began pounding fish. Fish came on a variety of spoons fished off 5 and 7 color lead core, 400 copper, and riggers out 50-60 feet. Slide cheaters off the riggers were on fire today. Our best fish came on white w/ green dot Spin Doctors paired with the Seneca Ghost fly (Just like DR. WES ordered!) Ran a spread of four dipsey divers and the SD's set out 240-290'. Biggest laker weighed just over 14lbs. Fish are spread out from top to bottom, over shallow water and out deep. FYI we ran into a bunch of bass fisherman who advised there is going to be a very large Bass Tournament on the lake this weekend. Looks like many of the guys will be launching out of Dean's Cove. If your heading out you may want to consider an alternate launch. Good luck luck out there

Thanks Nick for the report & info about Deans. You cannot do any better than a beautiful day and pounding the fish.
