Cayuga Lake gives up another beauty

[Fishbowl836]

I don’t post every fish I catch, but this one is a beauty. Went out Monday evening between the storms and caught this beautiful 28 1/2 inch rainbow. Don’t know the weight and I am curious as to what people think it weighed? Did not want to harm it trying to get the weight. Release in good shape to live another day.

Beauty!  I'd guess in the 8 - 9 lb range.

That is a very nice fish. As for weight I'm not the best at guessing.

The 8-9lb estimate is a good one. You can get a good general idea from the chart on page 60 of the DEC syllabus too.

I keep wanting to switch it up and fish a different finger lake one weekend, but seeing pics like this make me keep coming back to cayuga. I had one miss last weekend that must have been a huge fish. Downrigger rod went off and was about tore out of the rod holder. By the time I got to it nothing was there. Cayuga is shaping up to be an amazing fishery so far this year!

Wow beautiful rainbow! Great job on the release. I’m curious what the rainbow was caught on and how deep water it was in? I’ve been experimenting trying to target silvers casting/jigging because not setup for trolling, thanks

Tremendous fish! How deep was it?
