Although it depends on what you are fishing for to some degree in general small to medium sized spoons but in the Spring when adult sized sawbellies inhabit the shallows for spawning larger spoons work as well so matching to the size of the bait available can be a good idea. On Seneca Sutton spoons trolled relatively slowly and slower the larger the spoons work real well but basically experiment with anything you have and change out frequently until you get a winner. The way Seneca has been lately in recent years don't expect to be filling your box in short order....you'll have to work for them....if fishing for lakers get ahold of some gambler rigs and you'll be on the right track. The most recent diary results suggest that it takes about 5 hrs. per fish average on Seneca right now and about 44 % of the trips went fishless which compares with the data from the late seventies out there when it was tough fishing while Cayuga Lake has been on fire so temper your expectations and fish hard. Don'tr be afraid to keep changing up things.Seneca is a wonderful lake and you can have a lot of fun out there regardless if you look at it as a "challenge".

What about Cayuga ?

You can put a hook on a tin can and catch lake trout there. Next weekend there a derby going on and for 25 $ you could end up paying for your trip .

   I keep it simple....Sutton spoons only....sizes #61  and #44....troll 2.2.....2.6.........stop for a second and punch forward to get reluctant fish to hit......on Cayuga, it's as close to a guarantee that you can get in fishing.
