Cold Weather & Good Fishing!!
Chaumont Bay Sandy Pond and Black Lake continues to produce great catches of perch. Sandy Pond is giving up some nice size pike as well. Large shiners and jigs in 10 to 20 FOW are working best
On Oneida lake Reports of good to excellent walleye and perch catches are coming in from Dunham and Frenchman Islands, Buoy 121 and to the east at Lewis Point. Most anglers are jigging with Swedish Pimples dressed with a buckeye minnow or a jigging Rapala enhanced with bait. The sonar is also accounting for a few walleyes. Yellow perch are responding to mousies and spikes fished with more finesse than the typical heavy handed jigging for walleyes.
The water level on the Oswego river is a fishable 7,000cfs but ice and slush are still a problem on the colder days. Steelhead and brown trout are taking worms, minnows, egg sacs and white bucktail jigs.
The salmon river is running a perfect 750 cfs and there are plenty of fish just waiting to be caught. Fish egg sacs and small flies in pink and white. Look for the fish to be in the deepest slowest water. I know it is cold but break up the winter blues and spend sometime outside withfamily and friends.
