Spencer Lake is a public lake in Tioga County, New York, managed by New York State DEC. The shoreline and water are open to the public.
Lakes and ponds across the Northeast typically hold largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish such as bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.
Spencer Lake covers about 61 acres in the Finger Lakes region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Michigan Creek and South Branch Catatonk Creek.
Anyone 16 or older needs a New York State fishing licence — resident annual is about $25, non-resident annual about $50, and 1-day and 7-day non-resident licences are also sold. There is no separate trout stamp. Buy online from the NYSDEC. A New York State fishing licence covers this water; special regulations apply on many lakes and all designated trout waters.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
