Thinking of some day buying a place on Oneida Lake and wondered about the water quality. Is the lake clean enough to swim in (my wife is a big swimmer), and fish clean enough to eat? Also what about algae blooms/smell? I heard that they are not as bad as years ago. Are we only talking about one bloom in late summer, or more than that. How long does the bloom typically last? Any info you regulars can provide is appreciated.

Go to the south end of Cayuga for some good pike action. Was there yesterday and caught/released some, including a 13 lb'er. Pike and pickerel fishing will only get better in the month of May.
