Region 7:

 

Lake Ontario and Bays

 

With the high-water levels there are no wake zones for many Lake Ontario shorelines and bays. For information on these, please view the County Sheriff’s website at https://www.cayugacounty.us/155/Sheriffs-Office.  For information on Lake Ontario Boat Launch Sites please view at https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/117169.html. 

Salmon fishing continues to be good for anglers who have been able to get out. In the west end, fish are in 120 to 200 feet of water down 60 to 90 feet. On the east end, it's 100 to 300 feet of water down 50 to 100 feet. Spoons are still working and so are flashers and flies as well as cut-bait (meat rigs).
