cinnamon fish

Nice to know somebody else was out there today! Definitely will see you some time I'm sure. Cheers brother.

Good luck! I may make it out Sunday. I'm in a 14' Duranautic sea foam green color.

Nice, yeah I was just a bit south of there and decided to try in a little shallower today. Saw the fish jumping and wanted to go even shallower. I was fishing the area you mentioned and doing great there a few weeks ago. Hopefully we'll get some more sunny days without too much wind this November. Nice day to sneak in some fishing.

I was out there this afternoon as well. Landed 3 lakers and an 18" LL. Got the LL today in about 68 fow. Haven't gotten any big LL in a few weeks. Couple of 5-6 pound rainbows 2 weeks ago. Wasn't marking as many fish as usual today. I saw a lot of big fish jumping in shallow though, 30-50 ft from shore.

Really well said, Sk8man.

I thank Great Lakes Lure Maker for letting folks know on fb and here, and for putting a lot of effort into continued tradition of the NLTD along with some improvements (live updates) so less small fish are brought in. Also, I agree with the quote, "Fishing is not a competitive sport, its a contemplative sport". But I think there's nothing wrong with putting all that contemplative time we put in and have a fun friendly little competition once in a while, as long as it stays respectful of the conditions of the lakes. I think most of the guys on here are very respectful and aware of the state of the lakes. Bass tournaments on the other hand, I would guess likely have a bigger toll on the lake because there are a lot more professional bass fisherman than trout/salmon, and they travel from far away sometimes to fish Cayuga as it's been one of the tourney locations for the bass masters for awhile. I think it's probably a good time to give Cayuga a break from large scale bass tournaments.

Sticking with the tradition sounds the best to me... 53 years now, bound to be a few tough fishing seasons here or there.

Thought I’d let folks know I saw a post on facebook on the NLTD group where it’s being discussed the possibility of adding Cayuga to the NLTD in 2018. Thought some experienced anglers might like to get on there and give an opinion before their meeting tonite. Here’s the link to the group where you can see the post. https://m.facebook.com/groups/195327587289339 Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'd like to join the FLTA for 2018... wanted to this past year, but wasn't sure how many tournaments I could make as I often don't know my work schedule more than a few weeks in advance, and sometimes I'm working weekend nights. But, at this point I figure I should just go for it. Looks too fun to pass up!

Congrats to all the winners. And thank you guys much all who made it happen today. It's great fishing in the fall and especially fun... an event like this. I was psyched to score a Iron Duke Trolling fly "Quality Time" on a raffle. Can't wait to try it. Thank you. I managed just small fish today, released all 12 fish as they just weren't big enough for any decent box, nice variety, but no size, 6 lakers (2-4 pounds), 4 LL (up to 18.5"), 2 browns (14"). Had a great time. Love to fish it again next year.

Landed 4 LL and 2 lakers afternoon/early evening today. Mostly smaller fish, but one beauty 7 pound LL a mile or so north of t falls. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Surface temp today is 70. Picked up a nice 4 pound brown early this morning near the Boy Scout camp. Couple of small rainbows just north of there and a nice 4 1/2 pound LL a bit further north. No lakers for me today. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I got out for 3 hours this morning on the west side north of T-Falls to across from AES. Weeds were still there, but less than there were a week ago. I landed 4 LL (mostly small, one 4.25 pounder) and one 3-4 pound laker. The cool weather starts again Thursday, should change things up.

They were almost gone a week or so ago, but now that the lake is up above 70 degrees again they're back... not bad though.

Sounds great to me. I plan on picking up some of your flies to try soon! I see they have awesome results.
