Buffalo or Fingerlakes at the end of July?

[casts_by_fly]

Hi guys,

 

I am going to have a work trip at the end of the month in Buffalo and I'm driving from NJ to get there which will take me past the fingerlakes.  I might be able to pare off some time depending on the day.  Anything fishing particularly well I should consider?  Its too early to consider salmon and steelhead at the river mouths.  I might be able to swing a day with a guide.  I probably can't bring the kayak since I'll likely be driving people around while there.

 

Any ideas?

 

thanks

i'm kinda sad the finger-lakes are on the other side of the country.  Blanchard kills them out there.

A friend has a lake house on canandaigua and grew up there. We’ve been to her place and it’s an awesome part of the world.

Of the finger lakes I'd absolutely choose Cayuga.

If you're never been to the Finger Lakes, then you absolutely have to see Skaneateles. Cayuga is better known for it's fishing, but for natural beauty (and some nice fish too), check out Skaneateles.
