Fish Species

Rock Bass

FLAZ2022-12-12T19:36:44+00:00The ubiquitous lowly rockbass. Is there any fish that anglers catch in freshwater that gets less respect? I shall think not.

Rainbow Trout

FLAZ2026-01-23T20:32:32+00:00These fish are fairly enigmatic in most of the Finger Lakes. They are abundant in Skaneateles Lake. Numbers have gone up over the past couple years.

Lake Trout

FLAZ2026-01-23T20:29:53+00:00Lake trout are abundant in the Finger Lakes region with Seneca Lake being the most famous for its lake trout fishing.

Yellow Perch

FLAZ2026-01-23T20:17:54+00:00Yellow Perch are popular North American freshwater pan-fish, available year-round albeit small and easy to catch.

Northern Pike

FLAZ2026-01-23T20:13:55+00:00Northern Pike are aggressive, predatory fish and some of the largest freshwater game available to target in North America.

Brown Trout

FLAZ2026-01-21T23:24:34+00:00I consider brown trout somewhat of a bonus fish for us on Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. They don’t chase flies quite as actively as landlocked salmon.

Largemouth Bass

FLAZ2026-01-21T23:12:34+00:00The Largemouth Bass is by far the most popular freshwater game fish in the US and the state fish of Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

Bluegill / Sunfish

FLAZ2026-01-21T23:07:02+00:00Sunfish are a diverse family of freshwater North American fish, mostly round in shape and of interesting colors.

Landlocked Salmon

FLAZ2026-01-21T22:43:58+00:00Adults are generally silvery with a slightly forked tail and small X-shaped markings on the back and upper sides.

Smallmouth Bass

FLAZ2026-03-04T16:58:30+00:00An incredible fighter, the Smallmouth Bass was described as \"ounce for ounce and pound for pound the gamest fish that swims\".
