Course fee: TBA.

Staff.

This class is for anyone who likes to fish or would like to learn how to fish. Field trips throughout the Finger Lakes Region acquaint students with area locations, lure presentations, available species and seasonal patterns. Places fished have included a private pond, the Whitney Point Reservoir Spillway, Seneca Lake, Skaneateles Lake, the Susquehanna River and Cayuga Lake. Opportunities exist to catch large and smallmouth bass, northern pike, lake trout, panfish and walleyes. Spinning tackle and fishing lures are provided, though students are welcome to bring their own tackle. The class provides a nice weekly getaway from campus during the height of the fall foliage.
