For the record...In North Syracuse there is a small yet very decently stocked fly shop...Mickey's...And the folks running it have a very good grasp of the area and the fishing within Upstate NY and Canada..
Spent just under 2 years living in the area and enjoyed many visits to this kewl little shop...
There is also a full service Orvis shop...Troutfitter....Right on Erie Blvd. In Syracuse...
