Let's be grateful that it's not a drought that we have to deal with.

Longpoint and Cass are the only options right now! The debrie on the water is starting to look a little better but the water level is still extremely high.

In an effort to find something positve that came out of all this rain, the Cup just grow by one boat, Justin is back this year. The delayed start do to the weather has given him the time needed to get his poop in a group(boat set up) and he will now be fishing for Seneca. Still time to add more guys. Glad to have Justin back, I think he was the only Seneca member to fish all weeks last year.

rshubuck,

The docks in your picture are at Allan H. Treman State Marine Park, easier to remember for us out-of-towners. Cass park is the city owned park and the Marina was once city owned until the state took it over in the 70's. I was getting it confused with Stewart Park,

(my bad). Just hope it goes down in time for the Spring derby. Also Myers Park has been

closed with the entrance blocked.

Effective 05/04/11, the Sheriff's Office is restricting the use of motorized boats on Cayuga Lake within the jurisdiction of Tompkins County. This restriction is currently in place through Friday, 05/06/11. A no wake restriction is in place until further notice.

Due to the extremely high water level, the lake poses a danger to boaters as well as to property and business owners along our shorelines.

This restriction will remain in effect until further notice.

Despite the fact that the lake is no longer in a flood warning, the water remains elevated and is expected to take several days to recede.

In addition to dangerous debris in the water, any resulting wake from motorized boats could cause property damage for property owners.

Scott, just for you I corrected my earlier post! I don't want to confuse any out of towners

Thanks Nitro, Now I can't plead to the Officer of my ignorance
