Conesus Lake

[Oldfart9999]

I was on Conesus Lake yesterday, Conesus is a touch over 8 miles long and at the widest about 1 mile, mean depth is 38 feet. It is a grass filled lake, the DEC is trying to eliminate the hydrilla but there is still a decent to good amount of natives including coontail. Conesus gets a ton of pressure, it's known as a big fish lake, both lmb and smb, it also has panfish, walleye, pike and for food fish, alewives. I finally got into fish when I switched over to drop shot, it's nothing to see a 30 boat tournament and 95% of the anglers using spinning gear. There is an open tournament every Tuesday evening 6:00 til 9:00, 3 fish limit and not unusual for 16 lbs to win it.

Love it or hate it vegetation breeds strong eco systems and big bass.

Coontail is probably the best native grass ever Is it a fairly clear lake, as far as water clarity?

Thanks for the report

It has visibility to 5 or 6 feet, docks can be good but for me I like being in the weeds with a drop shot.

Mike, This is my home lake where I grew up. For some reason it stands the test of time. I have fished it for 30 plus years ( tournaments) and year in and out it has alway taken around 20 lbs. to cash. I dont know how it holds up to the pressure but always does
