I just spent three days at Cayuga, I have never seen the lake in this condition? The north end weeds are pretty much gone or if you find them they looked terrible, if you go under the bridge to the top end its pretty much bare bottom and from Union Springs north when you typically have good healthy weeds everywhere .....gone... or bad bad.
Went to Bass Pro one night and one of the employees I was talking with said that they have sprayed the lake to kill the weeds do to finding hydrilla in the lake. When I was at the launch I asked the girl there doing the weed check on the boat if she knew anything about that and she said YES, they have sprayed the lake, she said she knows for sure they did the south end because thats where the hydrilla was found she did not know for sure if they did the rest of the lake or not but based on weeds conditions it sure seems that they did.
Fish were few north end only caught dinks, did find some good ones through the three days but strange thing I thought all the bigger fish we caught had bloody tails like they were just off the beds a few were actually dripping blood from the tail they were that fresh. One friend caught a 6.3 large mouth that looked still full of eggs like it still had not spawned?
Don't know whats going on the water was 73 to 76 where I fished?
