Cayuga County Fishing Report for September 22-29, 2017

The fishing report below is made available from the Central New York Fishing Hotline for September 22 through 29 at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9218.html. Please visit that site for more information or to follow links.

 

September 23, 2017 has been designated as a free fishing day. Anyone can fish in the freshwaters of NY on that day and no license is required, making it the perfect time to take a friend or relative fishing.

 

A number of county web sites offer good information on fishing in the region, including bait shops, guides, etc. A few examples are: Onondaga County (fishonondagacounty.com); Oswego County (visitoswegocounty.com); and Wayne County (waynecountytourism.com). Oswego and Wayne counties also have a weekly fishing hotline on their web page, as well.

 

April 1st was the start of the new Freshwater Fishing Regulation Guide, April 1, 2017-March 31, 2018. You can obtain a copy from a licensing agent or view it at Summary of Freshwater Fishing Regulations.

 

Region 7:

 

Lake Ontario

Salmon are still being found in 50 to 100 feet of water. Chinook salmon fishing continues to be good on the lake with flasher and flies or cut-bait producing the most action, with some fish being taken on J-plugs. Try for smallmouth bass in 20 to 30 feet of water with crayfish, tube jigs or drop-shot rigs.
