We threw lures and live bait and never even got a bite. What's going on with that lake? Is it runoff from the grapes and Amish farms.
Anyone know?
Andy - out of curiosity I googled and looked at a number of articles regarding the poor fish production at Seneca and apparently this has been a problem since at least the early 2010s. They suspect it to be a combination of factors including zebra mussels, invasive species of aquatic vegetation, high phosphorus levels, high salt levels, farm fertilizer runoff, lamprey eels, and Greenidge. Nothing conclusive however. Interestingly, the other lakes, Cayuga et al., haven't been similarly affected. which is really weird.
