Cayuga Cayuga Fleas

Can anyone tell me if the fleas are still bad?  I was up last Thursday and probably the worst I have ever seen.

The fleas will usually be present until the water temps come down in the Fall. The fleas are not always clustered in every spot or in all strata within the water column. This is probably why some folks get into them in concentrations that differ throughout the lakes as well as within a given lake. The fishook type of flea seems the most problemmatic  and most difficult to remove.

In short, you  can't rely on second hand information and should prepare for the worst until Fall water temp reduction.

Good information SK8man.  Much appreciated.

They were especially heavy south of the power plant, but cleared up pretty significantly north of Sheldrake, as of last night
