Owasco Lake is located approx. 3.5 miles south of downtown Auburn,NY.
This is our second paper tournament of the year. A paper tournament allows us to catch our bass, measure them and return them to the water. The boater and non-boater records each others measurements. In another week it will be legal to keep 5 fish in our live-well. Our point tournaments will begin soon.
