I can definitely agree on those first three. Erie, has world class smallmouth bass, steelhead, and walleye.
St lawerence, more largee and smallmouth bass, tremendous musky and prince pike . Lake Champlain, world class smallmouth bass fishing in the northern end, and world class largemouth bass fishing to the south. Trout, pike, musky galour.
As for the last one, I dunno.....
Northern NY is a sportsmans paradise. So beautiful, so much varying terrain. Just wish it weren't so blue.

And if your incapable of having a fishing excursion without fixating on the prevalent political climate than thats your fault. Go fish big mouth in all the brown waters of those red states you seem to favor....

^Yeah, that is odd...Oneida Lake is about 20 minutes NE of Syracuse and even in a political sense, it isn’t that “blue”(if at all).
