Extends northward from the city of Ithaca through Tompkins, Cayuga and Seneca counties. Cayuga Lake ranks second in size among the Finger Lakes, only Seneca is larger. Cayuga Lake offers a diverse fishery for both coldwater and warmwater species. Cayuga Lake has a shallow weedy area at its north end which extends south for approximately six miles and occupies 5,800 acres. The remainder of the lake is deep and supports a coldwater trout and salmon fishery. Many of Cayuga`s tributaries also offer a spring rainbow trout fishery and a fall landlocked salmon fishery.A sure sign that summer is ending around Cayuga Lake is the migration of osprey to their winter homes in South America. In early September, osprey leave the nest they raised chicks in over summer and take a nearly 4,000 mile flight to warmer weather in places like Argentina and Brazil.
