: Cayuga Lake: Last weeks rain events raised the lake level again so use caution when boating as there is likely to be a lot of debris floating around. Anglers are catching Atlantic salmon and brown trout by trolling on or near the surface with stickbaits or small spoons. The bite has been good at times but also very slow at other times. Some lake trout are being taken by anglers trolling or vertical jigging over a variety depths out to about 140 feet. Look for yellow perch on the north end with small minnows. Reported by: NYDEC |

| About: -
Cayuga Lake is the longest of western New York's glacial Finger Lakes, and is the second
largest in surface area (marginally smaller than Seneca Lake) and volume. It is just under 40 miles long. Its average width is 1.7 miles,
and it is 3.5 miles wide at its widest point near Aurora. It is approximately 435 feet deep at its deepest point.
The fish population is managed and substantial sport fishing is practised, including smelt, lake trout and smallmouth bass fishing. Cayuga lake is very popular among recreational boaters. A large state marina and boat launch is located at the southern end of the lake in Ithaca (Allan H. Treman State Marine Park, the largest inland marina in New York). There is also a yacht club on the western shore a few miles north of Ithaca, and several other marinas and boat launches scattered along the lake shore. |
