Finger Lakes State Park

[Jack Jones]

While up in Columbia for a conference this week I had a few hours to steal away to this park. It was only about 15 minutes from the hotel. A very nice area to explore. It is just adjacent to Rocky Forks Conservation area also. Anyway, I was fishing a 9' 6wt with buggers the whole time. Chartreuse and Black mostly. Tried a white/silver Clouser for a bit, but came up short. Sizes ranged from 6-10 on the buggers.

Came away with a few small bass, two gills. The picture is representative of the bass I was catching. I wish I had my kayak with me because it really looks like a nice collection of lakes and ponds to kayak and just enjoy the peace. I just wish I had more time to spend up there. I'm not sure it would necessitate but it's nice to be aware of it, in case I have to go back.
