Trout Season Opens April 1 in Ithaca Area
Ithaca marks the 1967 trout season opening on April 1 for Rainbows Lake Trout and Salmon. A Rainbow Clinic at NCR Cafeteria drew 300 enthusiasts where Ken Coleman of Shakespeare Co. showcased a Peru fishing film and Freeman’s Sporting Goods offered tackle advice. Bob Willsey urged fishing in cold early-season weather using a fly rod with light line and a weighted bait, noting Rainbows strike softly and recommending imitation fish eggs or sponge-soaped lures, with bait scent key to success.
