Seneca Lake Fishing Charter Services
We are dedicated to giving our clients the best fishing possible. In order to do so, we stay with the migratory patterns of trout salmon. As water temperatures rise, bait fish move to cooler waters, while game fish (bass, perch, salmon and trout) follow to feed. What does this mean? It means, you will find us where the action is at its best, staying on top of the larger schools of sport fish throughout the entire year. Whether you're a seasoned Seneca Lake angler or a newcomer out for the first time, you will truly experience all the excitement these waters have to offer. Youngsters and women are always welcome aboard the Seneca Lake Fishing Charters Service.

Seasonal Activity Chart
Perch
The yellow perch (Perca flavescens) is a classic freshwater panfish, prized by anglers for its delicious, flaky white meat and accessible fishing. Easily identified by its distinctive dark vertical stripes and golden-yellow body, the perch is a common sight in lakes, rivers, and ponds across the northeastern and midwestern United States. Their relatively small size and eager feeding habits make them a great target for anglers of all skill levels, especially during the winter months when ice fishing for perch becomes a popular pastime.
