Here are several options:

1. The canal at locks 32 and 33 can get really hot as far as bass fishing. I prefer the spillway at both, and the pond above lock 32. BIG smallies, and some decent largemouth below the 32 spillway.

2. Brighton park - big bass around the weedline, especially in the southwest corner (back and to the right from the entrance).

3. Lac de Ville pond behind Loehmann's plaza. If there's still a "Tops" there, it's directly behind it in a housing complex, right next to the road. Some big bass back in the way when I used to live in Rochester.

4. As mentioned above, Spring Creek with finnicky trout (they like scuds and sow bugs around this time of year, and you better be using 7X or 8X).

5. Oatka Creek, just about anywhere but the farther from the road the better.

6. Irondequoit Creek usually holds up well, and can get fun around the Victor/Fishers area. Some bruisers around both Powder Mills and Linear. If you try Linear, go well upstream, almost to Silver Lake Park (or Silver Creek Park, I don't remember the name).

7. Conesus, Honeoye, and Hemlock Lakes, especially if you rent or have other access to a rowboat/canoe.

8. Mendon Ponds, as mentioned above. Allegedly at least one of the ponds has trout as it feeds into Irondequoit Creek (perhaps urban legend, I've never confirmed).

9. Take 1.5-hr drive and hit the Cohocton around Bath. Good trout fishing from time to time.

10. Some of the ponds that buffer Lake Ontario - like Buck Pond. Worth a shot when no one else is around to drop a 1/2 pound sinker in the water.

I think Carl Coleman's fly shop has a stream report on their website - - -
