Pike population has been declining like crazy from the bubble skin disease last 4 or 5 years. They should eventually bounce back but will be awhile. Some kind of parasite that gets in their skin and eventually kills them. They end up bobbing/floating around right before they die. They are suddenly very difficult to target. Does anyone know how bad the fleas are now in owasco? Are they at least manageable? I'm going down tomorrow regardless. Just trying to get a heads up.

Thank you guys for the updates. Hope they arent too bad yet. I know that they can explode at any time.

Are they showing up yet? If so, how bad are they? I am planning on fishing over there this weekend. Just trying to get an idea.

There are still good days there. But not like cayuga at least that I have experienced in awhile. Not 20-30 lakers in a day. That is a reality on cayuga. Like I said it's a lot of work. But is feasible. Maybe there is a day like that on seneca once in awhile still.

That lake has so many lakers its unbelievable. You could literally catch 3 times that if you spent a whole day fishing. Definitely the new lake trout capitol. ...only thing is...They are lake trout. Starts to feel more like work than good fishing after awhile. But at least they are still real easy to catch. Unlike Seneca.
