Hello, going camping with the fam this weekend and wondering if anyone has any info regarding decent fishing in this area? Been looking at a couple maps and i see Canaserdera (sp) creek runs through our campground. Thanks in advance fellas

Canaseraga creek is a good spot to try lots of trout might have to do a little walking to get into some.. u can also check out dansville resivour or south end of conesus

Dansville Res. requires a $2 permit from the town clerks office.  Limited access due to steep banks.  Canaseraga Creek is a good trout stream.  Kanakadea Park in Hornell has some shore access fishing there in Almond Lake.

Don't know what you have going on but you also will be within a short drive (20 minutes or so) to Conesus, Hemlock, and Canadice.  Hemlock and Canadice both have ample shore fishing opportunities.  If you have your kayak, obviously things open up a bit more for you.

I'm not 100% sure but I do believe they got away with getting  the permit to fish the res. I live in dansville and the res has been my go to spot for years now

Hey guys thanks had a great weekend! Wasnt so much a "fishing trip: as it was a family camping getaway. Cansedera was low and clear, went and fished the Dansville reservoir on Saturday, the boy got some decent sunnies and a decent LM with a bobber and worm, i tossed a big Mepps in the weeds hoping for a pike, no joy. Still fun and great scenery. Talked to a guy on the way out who said he has alot of luck on a "Bell Bait" never heard of it but im gonna check it out. Thanks for the tips!

Permit still "required" although I've never been asked for it and frankly doubt most others bother to get one.

Just a note on permits.  Here the Tomhanock of City of Troy res. suspended the need for a permit for Covid and am not sure if they have reinstated, but it may be similar the situation there.
