Fishing:

Skaneateles Lake provides anglers with crystal clear water, rolling hills, and plenty of fish.

During the spring and fall, when the water is cool, landlocked salmon and trout can be caught along the shoreline using streamers, spoons, and stick baits.

When the water warms with the weather, Skaneateles offers excellent smallmouth bass fishing.  The catch rate is fantastic, with an abundance of the fish in the 3-5 lb class.
