I also like the children's story about the giant, Paul Bunyan, and his Blue Ox, Babe. One day while plowing, Paul tripped, put out his hand to break his fall, forming the Finger Lakes. Stay at one of the many campgrounds where you, your partner, camper, boat, and vehicle will be welcomed by the excellent facilities. The beauty of the Finger Lakes lies beneath the water's surface. Much of the reputation that Seneca Lake enjoys stems from her rainbow trout, the Dapper Dan of the lake.
Lake trout is a resident of the deep.
Throughout the season she draws the biggest crowds and yields the most weight in pounds. Fish are plentiful in Kashong Point, Dresden, and north of Pontius Point northern pike. These fish can also be caught using live bait. Seneca's best smallmouth fishing takes place late in the season. Largemouth can be caught from one end of the lake to the other.
