Cayuga Lake Trout Help

[Avid Angler]

my dad and i went out fishing today on cayuga lake for about 3 hours and boated 11 lakers. but we didnt have one that was over 17 inches long. i tried switching lures, different types of lures, going with bigger lures, different colors, going deeper etc. for the bigger fish. i tried all that i could think of and still caught fish but all small ones. so what is my problem? can you help me?

Your doing very well believe it or not. I have been fishing north of longpoint and have been pulling some slobs out but also catching smaller lakers as well. My suggestion would be run deeper. 100+ ft down. Go as far down as you dare. They just get bigger from there We have been fishing over 130 FOW and out. Flasher fly combo's have been hot for us but lately it seems that what ever we put infront of them they hit. I also was catching 4 to 8lb lakers on the riggers 60' to a 100' down. Most of them we just dragged cause of there light bite so check your lines often. Goodluck and post some reports
