Description

DeRuyter Reservoir (also known as Tioughnioga Lake) is a man-made lake located north of Puckerville, New York. Fish species present in the lake include smallmouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, rock bass, black bullhead, common sunfish, and walleye. There is access by fee on the south shore at the general store.[3] The reservoir was constructed from 1861 to 1863 to supply water for the Erie Canal but by the following year had proved to hold insufficient water. The dam has been worked on at least twice, draining the lake by several inches each time.
