Hello, I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, but have lived in Northern Virginia for the last 20 years. I will be visiting my family for a couple days before heading to Alexandria Bay for camping / fishing trip with some friends. Can anyone give me advice on good places to fish for pike in the Rochester (or surrounding) area, as well as good locations within the St. Lawrence near Wellesley Island? I will be fishing from a kayak, so I tend to avoid large lakes, but willing to hit smaller lakes like Silver Lake, etc.
And secondly, where specifically at these locations I should try, since I am unfamiliar with the fishing area and don't have enough time to learn where the good fishing spots are.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
