Longnose Gar are one of my favorite fish to chase on a fly-rod. The have been around for millions of years!
Is it a pike or is it a pickerel? It's both! Hybrid pike/pickerel show up on occasion in Seneca, Cayuga and Keuka Lakes. They are a gorgeous fish.
Walleyes are common in Conesus and and uncommon in Owasco Lake. Other Finger Lakes having populations of them include Honeoye and Otisco Lakes.
Freshwater Drum are the most underrated gamefish in freshwater. They check all of the boxes any gamefish would.
