awesome man, and yes it never freezes although I have heard of a little ice fishing on the north end every decade or so, and I heard from an old guy that it froze in the 50s after a week of -35 degrees. It has a pretty strong current and a breeze can make a foot plus high waves which can bust a few inches of ice. Seneca is an awesome place to fish... I am going there probably friday to fish it for trout and northerns and maybe perch, just not out of a boat yet. My buddy is waiting another week or so to unwrap his boat. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
