With the rain we have had the creeks in Allegany State Park should be perfect.

You can find native brookies in several tiny creeks and streams around the countryside. And Lucky13 is absolutely right about asking landowners for permission. One place that is not necessary to ask (have not been there in a while so it might have changed) is Mill creek in Perkinsville. Have stood at the large pool and watched small silvery brookies leaping up the waterfall under the road like salmon, in the fall. There are also browns there. A very large fish in these waters might be 10-12 inches. Most are way smaller. But they are beautiful and tasty too. You might try Flint creek near Potter. It is surprising where these fish still thrive. Mostly people, often children, who live right near these creeks know of the trout there. Don't be afraid to investigate and ask around (bars,local shops,etc.) to find some of these "not a hundred miles away" gems.

Thank you so much!

You'll likely never know without trying.  But, again, make sure you knock on some doors, there is not a lot of public land down there, or talk to the ranger in charge for info if you are looking at NYS Forest lands.

Thank you so much

Any of the bays along Lake Ontario this summer may offer very unique bass fishing since all the docks are under water.  During normal water levels, its hard to beat Sodus because the bay has a lot of different structure.

Thank you so much! I will have to try the bays!

Plenty of lakes an hour drive away.  I fish Honeoye, Conesus, Skeaneatas and Erie.   Eris is a lot of fun but can be just as nasty as Lake O.  have not had a lot of luck on bass in Lake O for a while, but you can find them out deeper than they are normally fished in other lakes. 

Thanks!

The lake was awesome for smallies till gobies showed up. There are bass out there, big, but few. Try i-bay for big mouths and walleye with the occasional smallmouth.

Alright thanks!

Anybody know any bass fishing spots around Rochester? I'm an avid bass fisherman, but I'm tired of fishing in the same ponds constantly. Largemouth or smallmouth, and a spot on the lake, and river or creek, or a pond would be awesome. Thanks!

Most of the brook trout habitat in Western NY is posted.  Occasionally a wild brookie drops down as far as Powder Mill Park on Irondequoit Creek, and there are a few fish in Spring Brook in Mumford.  Both of those streams predominately support introduced Brown Trout, with the brookies being few and far between.  Many of the tributaries to the Finger Lakes have some brook trout in the headwaters, again few and far between, but if you like hiking to fish, High Tor has some ponds and the headwaters of Naples Creek feeders.  There are a couple of public access points to the upper Cohocton, and knocking on a door for permission might get you some additional access.  For solid fishing to a lot of fish, you need to travel to the Tug Hill Plateau, where the fish are common, if small, or the Adirondacks.  The best fish in the 'dacks are generally found in the ponds, but there is some decent stream fishing especially along the north slope.  DEC Webite for Lewis, Oswego, Oneida,  Herkimer, Hamilton, Essex, and St Lawrence Counties for starters. 

Thank you so much! This will come in handy and I will try some spots out in the near future.

If you really have a thing for catching brookies, Potter County in PA is the best place I know of. They have an extensive wild brook trout fishery all through the mountains. They're tiny little things, 6-8". 2lb line on an ultra light with a small spinner or rapala CD1 works well. It's pretty fun. Most of the streams are artificial only, catch and release. Make sure you check the regs really well.

That's sounds super fun. Someday I'll have to take trip because I'd really like to. I like hiking too, so that'd be a perfect trip in my opinion

Allen Lake in Allegany County off Rte.19 east of Caneadea, has 5600 small Brook trout stocked last spring. A tough find up gravel roads, on Muckle Road, from West Hill Road. Go for them early as this is a "put and take"  lake because high summer water temperatures will not support the cold water brookies.

Sounds awesome! I wrote that spot down in my notes for later in case I have time to go. I might just have to try it out.

You can check the DEC web site to see where they are stocking brook trout. That's a good place to start.

Thank you so much that helped actually a ton!!

Does anybody know any good places to fish for brook trout??? Sorry this isn't really on the topic of Lake Ontario but I've been searching for a long time and can't find anything. If anybody knows anything or any place around Rochester to fish for brook trout then please let me know. Thank you.
