Black Crappie are the most common crappie species in the Finger Lakes. A few white crappie can be found in Otisco Lake. They are most often targeted in the spring and through the ice.
I 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.

Finger Lakes
I have fished many of these places for years and I have numerous contacts that fish these lakes regularly and keep me posted on good fishing opportunities.
