I was considering a trip tomorrow (4/4) to Cayuga Lake (Dean's Cove) to jig for Lakers. Given the amount of rain the area got this week and the high lake level, I wondered if the launch would be OK to use and if the lake conditions (clarity and debris) would be good enough for a successful trip. It's an hour and a half drive, any info would be appreciated. Thanks......... -

FYI, Launches at Treman and Taughannock are ice free and usable. Launched out of Treman this morning 3/10/26 with a StarCraft 196 and had no issues due to depth. While trolling saw other boats coming out of Taughannock. Not a stellar day but we did get 3 nice LL to the boat. A little breezy (16mph ENE according to Myers point anemometer) between 8:30am - 10am. Flattened out around 11am. Highest surface temp was 37.8 deg. All 3 LL on divers off boards. Another great day on the water. Also, I recently bought a pair of Amish Outfitter Planer Boards. Used them for the first time today. They pull too hard for my liking. I am going back to my Otter Boats. I will post them in classified soon. Boards, shock cords, and 2 spools of 500lb planer tow line, 200’ each spool. I paid $294 for the package with shipping and tax. I’ll give somebody a great deal if interested. Just like new, once in the water. Lastly, I have been unable to find out if the launch (next to the Coast Guard Station) at Sodus is ice free. Anybody know?

Launched out of Taughannock at 9am. Did not actually count the number of boat trailers in the lot but I would guess no fewer than 12. I think mostly duck hunters, lots of shooting until about 11am and never saw another boat trolling. trolled south along the east shoreline. Best water was 150fow. Surface temperature 41deg, down 100 was 39.5deg. Picked up about a dozen lakers, most in the 2-3lb range with one around 6lbs. One LL off the boards (10”) Lost one brown. Lakers came on boards (deep divers) and riggers. Orange was the color for us today. absolutely gorgeous day on the water today, sunny all day, calm wind, few weeds, only ice chunks were down near the south end.

I will be up for a week in mid September to do some bass fishing and have a couple questions. I plan on fishing drop shots and Carolina rigs as I normally do well on that presentation in the fall for both smallmouth and largemouth. What colors are people using for worms/grubs and is it better to head north or south on the lake at this time of year. I am centrally located a couple miles from deans cove but obviously willing to trailer to a different launch.

Those pesky little fleas are beginning their summer attachments. Although not too bad yesterday I'm sure they'll get worse after the hot spell we just went through. Surface temps were 69.8 yesterday (6/26/25). Time to put on your favorite flea line.

Launched out of Treman at 5:30am, pulled out at 1pm. Lots of boats still dry docked in the parking lot. One ramp still closed. NOTE: On Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays there is a power washer at the Treman Launch area to wash down your trailer. Employees do the washing. Trolled the east side first and picked up 5 LL with one being about 20”. Also picked up several small lakers. All on sticks off boards. Crossed over to west side and never had a hit until we got close to the south end and then we caught 10 midsize lakers in less than 30 minutes. 80fow down 70 orange spoons. While crossing back over to the east side picked up a nice 13lb laker on a deep diver in 40fow. Trolled east/west for an hour and picked up 4 more lakers and two perch, all on deep divers. Absolutely beautiful day on the water. We were the only boat out until about 8:30.

Didn't have a working scale and I would normally through a fish like this back but I couldn't get it to quit bleeding. It was hooked where the main gill blood vessel was. Bright orange meat. Caught it in 20fow on a Sutton fixed hook spoon. -
4/24/25 on Cayuga. -
Got up this weekend to open the house for the summer and do some fishing. Fished the south west side Friday am and put a couple small salmon on the boat before motoring overt to the east side and picking up a couple nice rainbows on the fly rods. Went back to the east side saturday morning and it was game on. Trolled fly rods with gray ghosts and purple smelt flies and purple/ copper spoons on the planer boards went 10/15 on salmon and rainbows. Best fish was a 4-5 lb salmon and most were in the 3-4 lb range. Most fish came on the flies. before we got chased off by the wind around 1.

Anybody been using the boat ramp at the park this week? Last I heard the water line was at the end of the concrete boat ramp and was wondering if the trailers were sinking in the mud at the end of ramp. -
Hey guys and gals, looking to plan a trip to Cayuga at the end of this month for some bass fishing at the northern end of the lake. Does anyone happen to know the water temperature if they been out recently? I usually fish around Frontenac Island. Compared to the last couple of years the winter definitely was more defined and lasting so assuming the water is colder than prior years. Any responses would be appreciated, thank you! -
FYI. Stopped by the Treman State Launch 3/8/25. Entire canal is free of ice, ramps are free of ice. there are 4 ramps at Treman. TWO of them are closed. Looks like they are replacing wood sections on the docks. Anybody been by the SODUS Launch next to the Coast Guard Station?
