Cayuga County Fishing Report for September 1-8, 2017

The fishing report below is made available from the Central New York Fishing Hotline for September 1 through 8 at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9218.html. Please visit that site for more information or to follow links.

 

A number of county web sites offer good information on fishing in the region, including bait shops, guides, etc. A few examples are: Onondaga County (fishonondagacounty.com); Oswego County (visitoswegocounty.com); and Wayne County (waynecountytourism.com). Oswego and Wayne counties also have a weekly fishing hotline on their web page as well.

 

April 1st was the start of the new Freshwater Fishing Regulation Guide, April 1, 2017-March 31, 2018. You can obtain a copy from a licensing agent or view it at Summary of Freshwater Fishing Regulations.

 

Labor Day weekend is typically a very busy boating weekend so be prepared to deal with longer lines at launch sites. A little courtesy can go a long ways to making everyone's day more enjoyable.

 

Region 7:

Lake Ontario
Salmon are being found in 100 to150 foot of water, though some are still being taken in water as deep as 400 feet. Chinook salmon fishing continues to be very good with flasher and flies producing the most action at this time, but cut-bait is also working. J-plugs usually become productive as we get into September, but so far that hasn't seemed to be the case. Green and white continue to be good colors. Try for smallmouth bass in 20 to 30 feet of water with crayfish, tube jigs or drop-shot rigs.
