About Seneca Lake
Seneca Lake is the deepest of New York's famous Finger Lakes, plunging to an extraordinary 618 feet. With over 43,000 acres of surface area, it is also the second largest Finger Lake and one of the most productive fisheries in the state. The lake's immense depth creates a cold-water environment that supports excellent populations of lake trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, and landlocked Atlantic salmon.
Trolling is the primary method for targeting the cold-water species that Seneca Lake is famous for. Lake trout are found throughout the water column depending on the season, and fish in the 5- to 15-pound class are common. Rainbow trout and landlocked salmon provide thrilling surface action during spring and fall when water temperatures bring them into the upper layers. Smallmouth bass inhabit the rocky shorelines and offer outstanding catch-and-release fishing from late spring through early fall.
The Finger Lakes wine region surrounds Seneca Lake, with the charming towns of Geneva at the north end and Watkins Glen at the south providing excellent amenities for visiting anglers. Watkins Glen is also home to the famous gorge and state park, making the area a premier destination for combining world-class fishing with wine tasting and scenic tourism.
