About This Blog


In celebration of the culinary bounty that Seneca County’s fish and game resources represent, this blog will offer recipes and information based on fish and game that is currently or soon to be in season. Articles and recipes will be archived by title and indexed by subject such as: game/fish species and menu category (i.e. soup, appetizer, main course). Comments are encouraged and questions will be answered weekly with a focus on Seneca County and Finger Lakes residents, yet open to all. The blog can be accessed from the Seneca County CCE website with useful links back to Seneca CCE’s website. I would like to thank the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University, and especially Extension Associate, Keith Tidball.

Seneca County Bounty


Seneca County is nestled in the Finger Lakes between Seneca and Cayuga lakes. The mixed hardwood and agricultural landscapes in proximity to such large and clean lakes and their tributaries makes for a unique and bountiful fish and wildlife situation. As part of the Atlantic Flyway, Seneca County boasts impressive numbers of migratory waterfowl, including many species of ducks, Canada and Snow geese. The county is predominately agricultural which provides for a healthy whitetail deer population and small mammals, and increasingly, larger predators such as coyote and bear. The boundary for black bear hunting was extended to include portions of Seneca County in 2008. Seneca County has approximately 21,250 acres open to public hunting. The website for the Seneca County Chamber of Commerce lists the public hunting lands and the DEC has posted a useful map of Seneca County public hunting lands.

In addition to excellent hunting opportunities, Seneca County offers incredible fishing possibilities, including brown trout, rainbow trout, lake trout, Atlantic salmon, bass, catfish and bullhead, walleye, perch, northern pike, chain pickerel, and pan fish. Ice fishing extends our fishing season all through the year.
