northern pike, chain pickerel, yellow perch, pike-perch, bullheads, 

 and a variety of sunfishes, calico bass, etc. Most of these forms are 

 abundant and run to good size. The yellow perch, however, as is 

 often the case in shallow, weedy lakes, run small as compared to 

 those in some of the Finger lakes. 



Cazenovia lake is second in size. It is divisible into two areas. 

 The head of the lake (north end) is narrow, shallow with mud bot- 

 tom predominating and with extensive areas of vegetation. 

 Margined with water lilies and cat-tails, large-mouthed bass 

 find here congenial surroundings. Going towards the foot of 

 the lake greater depths are encountered, culminating in a maxi- 

 mum of about 48 feet near the south end. The water here is clear 

 and the bottom shoreward is hard, consisting principally of mixed 

 gravel and sand. This lower region is inhabited by small-mouthed 

 bass and pike-perch. Formerly the lake abounded in yellow perch, 

 but since the pike-perch have become established, the yellow perch 

 fishing has fallen off to a marked degree.
