This probably isn't a novel idea and may have been discussed on here before but is there any reason why Chinook/King salmon would not be a stocking option for Cayuga or Seneca Lakes? I know that natural spawning areas would be limited but the depth and size of the lakes seem plenty big enough. There seems to be ample forage as well. I guess that could be a worry though if they would quickly deplete it. I can only imagine how cool it would be catching big salmon on the Fingerlakes. They would also likely taste better and be healthier to eat then from Lake Ontario.

The smallmouth fishing has been decent for anyone not having much luck with trout. Fishing mostly midlake on east side in the evenings. Getting a few tiny laketrout in the 100 to 125ft range on copper.

Nice report. I have been drifting through the same general areas as you the past couple trips up there. Definitely a lot of fish all through that area. Have caught most species that live in the lake just drifting through there. More crappie then I have ever seen this time of year. Unfortunately 90% are just short of keepers. The future crappie fishing looks bright though.

You can sign up online here http://www.ithacalions.com/SA/index.html. Pretty easy/convenient. Anyone know if you need anything other then ID to weigh a fish in? You would think there would be more information on the site. Doesn't show how many places paid or what the door prizes are ect. Looking forward to it though.

So to register do you just basically send a check with your names to one of those addresses? I have fished this twice before and registered in person but it is a long drive from where I live so it would be easier to do so though mail. Thanks in advance
