Walleye
Walleye fishing near Spencer, NY, primarily revolves around Cayuga Lake, one of the larger Finger Lakes. While not known as a walleye mecca, Cayuga holds a decent population that can be targeted with the right techniques. The best times to fish for walleye are typically in the spring and fall when the water temperatures are cooler. During the day, walleye tend to hold in deeper water, so trolling with crankbaits or using jigging spoons near drop-offs and humps can be effective. At night, they often move into shallower areas to feed, making shoreline fishing with stickbaits a viable option. A popular technique is to troll worm harnesses behind bottom bouncers. Be aware that Cayuga Lake can be affected by strong winds, so always check the weather forecast before heading out. Several public boat launches provide access to the lake, but they can get crowded, especially on weekends. The walleye in Cayuga Lake can be finicky, so experiment with different presentations until you find what works.
