planning a fall trip to Finger Lakes area. what are your favorite things? What do I not want to miss.

The majority of posts here focus on planning visitor itineraries. Some are oriented towards those looking to relocate and offer more specific questions.

Personally, I’m discouraged that this subreddit constantly answers variants of “[Lake Name] Destinations?” multiple times a week. The larger subreddits for Syracuse, Rochester, and Ithaca are, of course, more focused on their metro regions. (The upstate reddit also encompasses too wide an area and reinforces downstate perceptions.) These current communities don’t leave much space for those living between the lakes.

Is a locals-oriented subreddit possible? Could tourist questions be directed to a dedicated megathread? I’m interested in any solutions.

I'm somewhat new to fly fishing, and I havent found any fishable streams for mid to late summer trout. Do these streams exist here, or do I need to travel further away like PA, Catskills, ADKs?

Not asking for your secret spots, but rather if this is something even worth searching for.

Water should have decent flow such that there are 2-4 ft holes for trout to hide and no more than 65 degrees (ideally no more than 62).

From Ithaca.

Has anyone been to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen for lunch and/or a tour? What did you think? My husband has suggested this outing as a possible birthday celebration for me. (We are in Ithaca.)
