Cayuga Taughannock Launch Status

[Reel Doc]

Anyone at Taughannock today?  I'm thinking of a trip tomorrow but wondered about the launch as its a little chilly.   Have they turned on the bubbler?

How did you make out? Was that you in the well craft with the pup that went out this morning? I was fishing from the wall at taughannock this morning. Could buy a hit, and I didn't see anyone from shore land anything. Man, that flat lake this morning has me itching to get the boat out

That was us in the Wellcraft.  It was a pretty nice morning on the water for late December.   Unfortunately the fish weren't real interested.  Covered all depths starting with skinny water and working deeper.  Ended up finding a few lake trout deep using flies on dipsey and a chute copper.  The highlight of the day was my personal best smallest lake trout at a shade over 14 inches.  After hauling it in on a bloody death spoon on a rigger down 110 I was gassed so called it a day.

Very Nice! Yeah, it was a beautiful morning. That's for sure
