Going to be staying at a rental with a dock between Angus and Dresden, and will be taking my boat. How's the fishing on this lake?

Keep the boat on the trailer and go to Cayuga or Conesus.

That bad huh...

More like those two lakes are so awesome.  You'd really be missing out on the best the Finger Lakes has to offer skipping either.

I'll probably take a day to fish Cayuga it's only 30 min from where were staying. I just need to find a boat launch on the north end of Cayuga. The closest marinas would be on the canal that connects the two, and just motor thru the locks. It was my original plan to stay on Cayuga, but the wife didn't like any of the accommodations that were available and you now how the rest goes.

Nice to know. I'm planning next year's vacations, likely going to get a cabin at Button bay state park (there's an amazing point for catching smallies up there) and maybe spend a week in a lake in Western NY somewhere as I have family out that way and was thinking Seneca Lake.

Drive down the west side of the lake and launch at Red Jacket launch.  The north end is not the greatest fishing.

See what you can find on Keuka Lake.  Another fine lake for SMB and LMB.  There's a nice launch facility right in Penn Yan.

@J Francho is correct, speaking to the locals they were telling me the same thing about Keuka Lake.

Been back for a couple of weeks, Didn't get a chance to fish Cayuga due to weather, but that was the launch I was gonna head to when I scoped out google maps.
