Is Lake Neatahwanta worth fishing. Years ago I caught a few Large Mouth Bass and an occasional crappie. The last few times I could not find many fish. I thought a read a few years ago that the fish were polluted or contaminated, something like that.
Does anybody fish that lake and have success?

highly toxic watershed ...it's believed the mop threw Jimmy Hoffa's body in the lake and the pollutants disolved the body within minutes ......research has been done and the results point to the fact that if you fish that body of water for ant length of time your hair will turn red you'll lose 20 points of your IQ score and you'll start talking to yourself.....the only fish that have been known to survive there is mutated gobies and meat eating carp....remember now no one has been allowed to swim in that water for over 30 years and those that did ....well you don't hear about them ......( government cover up ). your best bet is to stay right away from that lake and to be honest i don't trust oswego river or oswego harbor either ..... good luck

By the detailed description trap sounds like you've eaten fish out of there for years! 😅

Hmmm... Sounds like a coveted fishing hole to me. :rotflol:
Reminds me of a fly in trip I did with my dad many years ago. Camp owner said don't bother fishing one of the ponds up there (mountains) 'cause it doesn't have any fish in it. We still think it was his own little fishing hole he didn't want us to fish. We should have fished it.

It sounds like I should continue to avoid fishing Lake Neatahwanta for health and safety reasons. Sounds like the water would likely eat a hole through my cheap Kayak. I thought fishing Onondaga Lake was risky, but I do not see any signs on that lake telling me to avoid letting my pets swim.
The Dec web pages does not list any warnings about Lake Neatahwanta, but it sounds like they probably should.

i actually fish it ,the scare wasn't pollution it was blue algae .... thers a nice kayak launch at one time the city was going to rent kayaks and that went down the river ...... go and enjoy yourself
in fact i have talked about fishing it and addressed the pollution statements before and often have people attack me .... the dec will tell you theres nothing wrong with the lake accept occasional blue algae blooms which even happen in Oneida lake
ps kill all the little white perch you catch ....thats posted on signs as well

I believe I saw something from Trap on Ice shanty about fishing this lake and though he lived near Fulton. Maybe I will give it another try to see what I can dredge up from the bottom. Perhaps I will hook onto Jimmy Hoffa's skeleton.
Speaking of dredging. I read something about the lake being dredged. Was the lake dredged? If so when and did it have a positive effect on the lake or just a waste of money?
If I give it a try I will report what success/failure I have.

they are still in the process of sucking up the bottom silt and removing it

this is very misleading ....again the state has no warnings on this lake the city warns of blue algae blooms ...i have lived here and fished this lake all my life and i personally never once seen a tigger come out of this lake although in the early 70's some said they caught some ....there are no stripped bass in this lake ...swimming is not allowed yet jet skis and kayaks are as is water skiing from what i heard the water is naturally stained with poor visablity and they said life guards would not be able to recover someone that was under water....the dredgeing was still going on however it is a large suction that sucks up sediment off the bottom they start after fish spawning is over and it's been a joint operation of the city of fulton and the town of granby........i still fish the lake and yes i eat the fish and have noticed no ill effects from the fish!

I tried the lake this morning. I only used artificial lures, jigs, crank bait and stick bait. Caught a small crappie on my a jig on my first or second cast. Thought I was going to have some success. Not another bite on a jig the rest of the day. Cast out a shad rap with a rattle and trolled for a while. Hooks into something bigger but never landed it. Probably snagged a carp is my thought. Not another bite the rest of the morning. Disappointed again with my success.
As Trap says the water is stained. Lots of algae suspended in the water. Could only see my paddle 1/2 a foot under the water. A lot less weeds compared to the past. Did not see many fish surfacing, but did notice several turtle heads popping up and then disappearing. My opinion of the lake has not changed, it is a big waste of time. Perhaps if I used live bait I would have done better.

I thought the image was a selfy Trapper took after he ate some fish from Lake Neatahwanta or was it fish caught in front of the 9 Mile Nuclear Plant.
