I attended Job Corps in Cassadaga in 85 to 87, had many adventures there, one was while trekking thru , one of many the vast forrest around the property, came upon a stream, followed in for a few and found it dumped into a small lake ,before it kept going on the other end, one of my classmates had a mini hook and line deal with him, after a few cast of the line, he caught a giant giant bass , it was so huge i could stick my entire fist in its mouth w/o touching it , we all decided to let it go, but we took it to the Cassadaga lake and released, it was still strong after a nearly 30 min walk and thrashed away into the deep.
Also in addition to the comment below comment... in the summers we'd go swimming at that lake and in the summer of 86, one of my classmates drowned to death there. They used to swin to the other (Lilydale)side and back. They said he most likely got tired or caught a cramp. The lake has a dangerous floor about it, there are sections were ... you could WALK IN ANKLE DEEP WATER FOR 30 TO 40 FEET FROM SHORE AND THEN IT DROPS OFF TO (I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING) MURKY DEEPNESS. I vaguely remember hearing about that from some counselor, and didn't like the idea so i never ventured out so far. Reminds me of the spot in the North Atlantic , there's a SHELF were it's deep but at a certain point, it drops off into the SUPER SUPER DEEP. STRAIGHT DOWN FOR SEVERAL MILES !!!!
