Adventure Tips
Bring layered clothing
Lake Cayuga’s weather can shift quickly, especially on the water; dressing in layers helps keep you comfortable throughout your fishing trip.
Use polarized sunglasses
Polarized lenses reduce glare on the water, making it easier to spot fish and navigate safely.
Pack sunscreen and insect repellent
The sun’s reflection off the water intensifies exposure, and bugs can be present during warmer months—both need addressing for a pleasant day.
Communicate special requests ahead
Contacting Corey and Bob with any specific gear needs or fishing targets ensures the trip is customized to your preferences.
