It means, you will find us where the action is at its best, staying on top of the larger schools of sport fish throughout the entire year. Whether you're a seasoned Seneca Lake angler or a newcomer out for the first time, you will truly experience all the excitement these waters have to offer.

Largemouth Bass
DeRuyter Reservoir is the place to be for Largemouth Bass near the town of DeRuyter. This relatively shallow reservoir is known for its abundant weed growth and structure, providing ideal habitat for bass. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring spawning season and again in the fall as the water cools. During the spring, focus on shallow bays and coves with submerged vegetation. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and soft plastics are all effective. In the fall, look for bass relating to deeper structure along the main lake points and drop-offs. Crankbaits and jigs can be productive. Access to the reservoir is available via a public boat launch on the north end. Be mindful of the reservoir's regulations regarding motor size and speed limits. The bass population here is healthy, with a good mix of sizes, offering anglers a chance to catch both numbers and quality fish.
