The discharge from the Ithaca sewer plant on that of the lake is probably warmer.  

over the weekend 3/14/15 the ice broke up and is gone off the south half of the lake. (as far as I can see from taughannock).

^{nice fish}

well I can't see Cornell's warm water discharge from here to know if it is frozen. and yes on Friday and Saturday "afternoon" some water did open up south of long point. and the marina at t-falls with its bubbler was open (and the ramp was clear) NOW 3-4-15 and as of Saturday night "certainly" you won't be trolling for lake trout on Cayuga lake any time soon.

FROZEN (completely)

1. Although it was a bit chilly there was a nice little tournament at Taughannock Saturday.

1. I suppose that we will find out on Saturday just how many fish are at t-falls.

2. I maybe the only fisherman that has ever lied.

3. pay your $5 before you start fishing. good luck.

4. can I enter the fish that I catch at Milliken ?

The fishermen at Taughannock are all liars don't believe a thing they tell you. You should go to the power plant that's where all the fish are.

Don't mean to be a buzz kill but If you quit your day job to live off the spoils of selling fish isn't that commercial fishing? I'm thinking we (and others) would all do it and devastate the fish stock. Lets keep it for fun and personal satisfaction.

they brake the ice to go out in those small boats! one day they will tip a boat of eight guys over and the 12' motor boat with the coach in it will pick them all up.

I don't see how but they are from Cornell. a whole different level of inteligence.

Thanks for the report Big Dave.

if you need 3' you could have a problem not hitting the bubbler at taughannock.

OPENS MARCH 30th

Lampry are a very big issue on cayuga. now there is another influx of young lampry in the lake so the few fish that made it through this last year will have to run the gauntlet for at least one more year. But enjoy the boat ride.

taughannock's bubbler is working and its open. the lake is at 380.5' , normal for this time of year. it will be kept at this level till late spring. 385' is flood stage. the water is plenty deep and it makes it easier to get under the bridge.

Don't waste your time on Cayuga.

there are several hidden spots to fish from shore. good luck finding them.

"Ice Free" When the lake freezes over solid and smashes your boat you won't have to pay extra. WHAT ARE THEY THINCKING ! They haven't lived here long if they don't know this.

How do you like the waves today? and you still haven't seen nothin yet.

THE REG STATES THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONLY 5 BATES. YOU CAN NOT RUN 15 SINGLE HOOKS.

thanks for the info

THE BUBBLER IS WORKING AGAIN THES AFTERNOON (IT WASN'T YESTERDAY OR THIS MORNING) AND IT'S OPENING UP THE PATH OUT.

THE ICE AT THE WATERS EDGE, AT THE RAMP ,IS USUALY ALWAYS BAD WHEN ITS REAL COLD. I'D GIVE IT A COUPLE OF DAYS LIKE CHOWDER SAID.

I SEE THAT SOMEBODY TRIED TO GET OUT THIS MORNING AND GAVE UP . THERE IS ABOUT 3" OF ICE AT THE RAMP AND ICE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT. -5DEG. HAS A BAD EFFECT ON THAT WATER. I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT OPENS. WOULD HAVE BEEN A NICE CALM DAY ON THE WATER .

I'd better start sharpening the old harpoon.

IT'S OK TO USE SMELT FROM THE LAKE AS LONG AS YOU CAN EXPLAIN HOW YOU CAUGHT THEM FROM THAT LAKE AND DIDN'T TRANSPORT THEM IN YOUR CAR.

IF YOU LIVE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE YOU CAN WALK HOME WITH THEM AND BACK. BUT YOU CAN'T PUT THEM IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE BACK.
