General fishing Information:
"Largemouth bass and chain pickerel are the main gamefish found in the lake. There are also some smallmouth bass and an occasional walleye caught in the lake. Though walleye are rare, when one is caught it's usually very large, over 10 pounds. For largemouth bass try along the shore line and weed edges with Senko style baits, rubber worms and crankbaits or over the vegetation with spinnerbaits. There is a sunken Island (or hump) about halfway up on the east side that's a good location for panfish and bass. Try anchoring and fishing minnows or worms on the edge of the hump or tossing topwater baits over the hump. Chain pickerel can be caught on spinnerbaits, crankbaits and minnows fished along the many weed edges. The north end of Cazenovia Lake is a very popular ice fishing location for black crappie and bluegill. For the bluegills, try fishing during the day with small jigs tipped with spikes in 10 to 15 feet of water. Night anglers do well on the black crappie with small minnows fished from just below the ice to just off bottom. Just remember the State Park closes at 9:00 PM. Yellow perch are also found in the lake but are more elusive then the bluegills or crappies. Rock bass are often overlooked by anglers but are plentiful in the lake."
