The middle of the lake is great fishing year round, in the rochester to sodus area we have brown trout all year, steelhead all year, lake trout all year, and ussualy we can find kings around not in as big of numbers as east end in the spring but they are here most of the year. it is a great area to see a nice variety of fish! Good luck on your trip! There are many good captains all up and down the lake from niagra to oswego/mexico.
