Cayuga Fleas

[Frisco]

We've been on Cayuga a few times since the fleas died off and have done fair on the browns from the drop outside Tremaine to Willow Creek, today however the fleas were as thick as I've seen them in July!!!

 

Is it because of the hot humid weather that we've had? Usually when they die off they're gone but I've never seen them return like this, we couldn't shake them. They were thick wherever we went!

 

We boated 1 decent brown everything else was small!

 

Can anyone explain this or is this a usual event!

It been like that for the past few years on Seneca , die off but pockets here and there the rest of the season..... I think its when the fish-hook type showed up and 30# test didn't keep them off....

Yes last week on Seneca thye were all over the30 lb Sea Flee on my riggers and that was a first for them....seemed to have no impact on keeping them at bay.

Last Saturday Owasco was thick with the fleas, but they were almost nonexistent two weeks prior.

I lost a fish because of them north of AES 2 weeks ago. On a rigger rod. Only stuck to the 1 rod. Had 30 lb big game on it also. The weird thing is the dipsey rods stayed clear was running 50 lb braid on them. Just strange they stuck to the 1 rod and that's the one that got a fish on it

They stuck to everything wire, mono, & braid like I said earlier just like July. We couldn't find an area that was clear. I'm done until they're gone, I like light tackle and those nasty things take the fun out of the sport. We've put some nice browns in the boat on small stingers from 6 lbs to 13 lbs about 40' down too bad those things showed up. We put everything back!

Dang was hoping they would clear up. They were pretty nasty last weekend. Constantly clearing lines
