At roughly 10,000 square miles, Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes. What it lacks in size, however, it more than makes up for in fishing capacity. Major Oswego County access points are Oswego Harbor, Catfish Creek, Dowie Dale, Mexico Point, Port Ontario, and North Sandy Pond. See listing of marinas and launch sites on page 26 for details.

Oswego County boasts one of the largest, most experienced charter fleets on Lake Ontario. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of this great lake, as experienced hands with top-of-the-line equipment guide you to the best action on the lake. You’ll find a directory of licensed charter captains and guides in the Fishing Services section on page 21.

For Trout and SalmonFrom mid-autumn through mid-spring, salmonids follow the forage inshore, where they can be taken by casting plugs and spoons from the bank, shoreline and piers. Boat anglers do well flat-lining in five to 15 feet of water. Summer’s warm temperatures push the fish back into deep water where they congregate near the thermocline. The only effective way to reach them out in the open lake is with equipment like lead-core line, Dipsy Divers and downriggers. Use stickbaits, spoons, flashers and cut bait, dodgers and flies.

Atlantic SalmonThe elusive Atlantics are incapable of natural reproduction due to the effect of an enzyme found in smelt and alewives and are stocked in fewer numbers than Pacific salmon. Those that are caught are usually taken incidentally on lures targeting Pacific salmon and trout.

Eastern Lake Ontario

Brown TroutIn early spring, browns are attracted to warm inshore water around river mouths. Notoriously boat-shy in shallow water, troll light lines off planer boards, parallel to shore, in April and May. Casting from shore is most effective in the early morning.

Chinook and Coho Salmon Try shallow water fishing in early spring. During June and July, you will find them feeding in deep water. From late July through August, they gather along Oswego County’s coastline. By early September, large numbers stage off the Oswego Harbor and the mouth of the Salmon River. J-plugs, cut bait, and flasher and fly combinations are deadly for these West Coast natives.

Lake TroutIn the spring, they remain offshore on bottom, in depths of 150 to 200 feet. A few venture inshore and may be taken by anglers fishing for brown trout and steelhead.

Rainbow Trout/SteelheadLike browns, they come inshore in early spring; some to find a tributary in which to spawn, others to feast on the forage drawn into the shallows by warmer water. After spawning in March and April, they move offshore. In late spring and summer, troll spoons through the bands of floating organic matter formed by temperature variations in the water. In June, steelies suspend over deep water and are targeted with spoons and stickbaits (orange and pink are hot colors), fished off Dipsy Divers, or downriggers set at or above the thermocline.

Smallmouth BassIn spring, pre-spawn smallies are shallow and very territorial. After spawning, they move to structure in 12 to 25 feet of water. Drift and cast diving crankbaits, or work bottom with tubes, grubs, minnows and crayfish. For excellent fall fishing, look for them in slightly deeper water around the harbor breakwalls in Oswego, and offshore near Catfish Creek, the Little Salmon River and other tributaries.

WalleyeOne of the best places to catch a walleye from May through mid-June is Oswego Harbor. The most popular baits are worms on spinner-rigged harnesses, jigs, and large stickbaits.

CarpCarp are enjoying renewed popularity. The best baits are corn, baked potato, bread and dough balls. Look for them in warm, weedy, shallow water like Deer Creek Marsh.

CatfishLake Ontario has monster channel cats in the mouths of the Oswego and Salmon Rivers. They are biggest and hungriest in autumn, during the salmon runs. Anchor over a hole and bottom-fish with cut salmon.

Formed by the union of the Seneca and Oneida Rivers at Three Rivers Point, the Oswego River stretches nearly 24 miles to Oswego. It ranks as Lake Ontario’s second largest tributary. “Oswego” is an Iroquois word with two interpreted meanings: “place of the pouring out” and “place where the waters meet.”

The Oswego River is a vital link in the New York State Canal System. For close to a century, the Oswego branch of the Erie Canal ran adjacent to the Oswego River. Remnants of the canal still remain.

The river offers two distinct fisheries. From its mouth to Varick Dam, the first dam in Oswego, Lake Ontario’s vast variety of fish species move in and out with the seasons. Above the dam, the fishery is natural, with minimal human intervention.

The City of Oswego has developed an outstanding public fishing access along the Oswego River. A concrete walkway and railing line both sides of the river, with riverside parking, restrooms, and a fish cleaning station.

Varick Dam to the Mouth: In the fall, huge brown trout, king and coho salmon enter the river to spawn, followed by hungry steelhead, which continue to enter the river all winter. They come to feed, bask in the river’s slightly warmer temperatures, and, in early spring, to spawn.

By mid-May, rock bass, slab crappies, yellow and white perch, and sunfish converge on Oswego Harbor. Bullheads claim muddy spots, and catfish take over the rapids. The river’s resident northerns and bass, as well as the lake’s bronzebacks spawn in the river.

Above Varick Dam: The character of the fishery changes heading south out of Oswego, where the Varick Dam acts as a barrier to lake-run trout and salmon. The fast waters near hydropower dams in Minetto, Fulton and Phoenix attract walleyes in spring and fall, smallmouth bass in early summer, catfish in June and July, and sheepshead, panfish, suckers and carp from mid-April through November.

Largemouth bass and pike are plentiful in the quiet water along the canal’s shelves and shallow, slow moving waters. They’re joined by sunfish, crappie, panfish, carp and bullheads, gars, and bowfins. In summer, walleyes, smallmouths, sheepshead and channel catfish gather along the canal’s drop-offs and floor of the main channel.

For more information, call 800-248-4FUN6

Oswego River Safety - Effective summer 2012, the public will be required to wear a qualified Personal Flotation Device (PFD) at all times while located

within the posted High Danger Areas below the Varick Dam on the Oswego River. Failure to wear a PFD while in these areas is enforceable as trespassing.

Chinook and Coho SalmonFor Chinook and coho, flatline on side planers or drift salmon eggs. If you’re fishing from River Walks, cast egg sacs and flies weighted down just enough to allow the bait to bump bottom while moving with the current.

Rainbow /Steelhead/Brown TroutBrown trout run the river in autumn, while steelhead and rainbows are available autumn through spring. Use egg sacs (blue in clear water; chartreuse in turbid water), worms, flies, spinners, spoons, jigs or stickbaits.

Smallmouth BassSmallmouths prefer rapids in early summer and deep water the rest of the season. Early on, drift minnows or crayfish or cast spoons, in-line spinners and crankbaits in tail waters and current edges below dams. By mid-July, head for deeper water along drop-offs, canal walls, and bridge abutments. Work jigs, small crankbaits, spinnerbaits, Carolina-rigged worms and minnows off drop-shot rigs.

Largemouth BassThe most warm-water tolerant of the Oswego River’s game fish, largemouth bass thrive in relatively shallow water. Try plastic worms fished weightless and ripped across the surface. Cast crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, poppers, and minnows onto the canal’s shelves, and run them past logs, boulders, and weed beds.

Northern PikeNortherns like to prowl weed edges near the safety of deep, slow -moving water. Use large minnows, suspended about three feet below bobbers, in the mouths of tributaries, channels entering backwaters, and around islands. Or cast large spoons, crankbaits, stickbaits and spinnerbaits.

WalleyeEarly in the season, fish rapids with stickbaits, crankbaits, and bucktail jigs tipped with minnows or worms. May is the perfect time to fish the downtown Oswego area at night for walleye. Around June, walleye spend their days in deep water where they can be taken by slowly trolling worms on spinner rigs, or bouncing jigs off bottom. At night, they move into the shallow shelves and can be taken on stickbaits.

Channel CatfishCatfish are popular throughout the river. Huge fish can be found around the mouth, especially in autumn, when they feast on salmon. Target them by fishing with cut salmon flesh. The holes in the fast water between the dams in Oswego also hold trophy catfish. They’ll take worms, minnows, and blood baits but are particularly fond of shrimp.

Yellow PerchYou’ll find yellow perch along weed edges, muddy bays, deep channels, and eddies. Use worms or tiny minnows, or search them out by drifting and casting 2-inch scented grubs.

Pan FishUse minnows, worms, grubs, and tiny marabou jigs around cover like trees, boulder fields, and weed beds.

BullheadStill-fish nightcrawlers or garden worms off bottom near swamps and marshes and other shallow, muddy areas. They’re extremely voracious in spring.

SheepsheadA silver-sided, white-bellied fish with a blunt nose, these hard fighters thrive in the rapids and the canal, and hit crayfish, worms, jigs and crankbaits.

CarpThey’ll hit a worm or a dead minnow on occasion, but have a taste for vegetables and grains. Use corn, baked potato, dough and bread balls. Try adding peanut butter to the bread.

Lake SturgeonCurrently on the endangered species list, the DEC is actively trying to reintroduce the species. All sturgeon must be released immediately. In September 2007, US Geological teams assisting the DEC surveyed the stream and netted 25, including one measuring 56 inches and weighing 43 pounds.

CAUTIONStay alert for changes in water levels on the

Oswego River north of the Varick Dam, and on the Salmon River. Hydroelectric plants can cause

rising water and swift current. As soon as you notice the water level rising, get to shore. For current water level conditions on the Salmon River, call Waterline at 1-800-452-1742, code

Atlantic, Chinook and Coho Salmon:Massive runs of Chinook and coho peak in September and October. In September and early October, runs of salmon can be found in the Salmon River estuary.

Atlantics run the Salmon River from June through mid-August. They eagerly strike flies, lures and, after a rain, worms. When hooked, they launch into a series of sizzling runs and spectacular leaps.

Use egg sacs, flies, spinners and plugs. Try large attractor patterns or fish large wobbling plugs from a side planer.

Brook TroutAll brookies in the river are wild fish that migrated from Orwell and Trout Brooks and smaller tributaries. Boasting big appetites with mouths to match, they’re one of the easiest trout to catch. Baits include worms, egg sacs, flies, spinners and plugs.

Brown TroutThe river has resident browns that remain year-round. Trophy lake-run browns enter the stream in massive numbers in the fall, along with Pacific salmon. They’ll hit egg sacs, flies, spinners, plugs, and worms after a rain.

SteelheadRecent stockings of summer steelhead provide a limited but exciting fishery in June and July. Steelheads storm the Salmon River in September and October and feast on the eggs of spawning Pacific salmon. They trickle in from the lake all winter, and can be found in the river’s deep pools and channels. In winter, they’ll take egg sacs, pieces of worm or tiny jigs suspended below bobbers, and small spinners worked in deep, slow-moving areas. Try blue egg sacs in clear water, and brighter orange or chartreuse egg sacs when the water is turbid. Use a variety of flies, including natural nymphs and single egg imitations in fall and winter, and larger, gaudier nymphs and attractor patterns or worms during the spring. After spawning in March and April, they return to Lake Ontario.

Rainbow TroutUse egg sacs, flies, spinners and plugs. Worms are a favorite bait in the spring.

Largemouth BassFound in the Salmon River Estuary. Use minnows, plastic worms, crankbaits, spinner baits, and surface baits such as popper plugs.

Smallmouth BassFound in the Salmon River Estuary and the river’s mouth. Use crayfish, minnows, worms, jigs, plugs and spinners.

Northern PikeFound in the Salmon River Estuary. Use spinner baits, large minnows, spoons and plugs.

WalleyeIn spring, some Lake Ontario “eyes” run the lower part of the river. Go after them by slow-trolling stickbaits at night near Port Ontario.

CrappiesThriving in the estuary, they are easiest to catch in spring. They respond best to small minnows suspended below tiny bobbers.

BullheadEach spring, the Salmon River Estuary and shallow bays in the reservoir are full of bullheads. They respond best to worms and leeches fished on bottom, especially at night.

PanfishTry the Salmon River Estuary for large rock bass and sunfish. The upper reservoir is popular for sunfish. Perch are the most plentiful panfish in the lower reservoir.

At times almost breathtaking, the Salmon River is one of North America’s most spectacular salmonid fisheries. Thousands of trophy Chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, rainbows and brown trout run its length each year. It flows for 17 miles among forests and fields, along country roads, and through the villages of Altmar and Pulaski and the hamlet of Port Ontario. Gravel riffs and pools in its upper portion give way to bedrock and boulders in the lower reaches, before it glides through the still waters of a mile-long, marshy estuary and enters Lake Ontario.

A float trip on the Salmon River is a great way to enjoy the river’s world-class fishing and experience its special character. For families, seniors, or the physically challenged, a drift boat in the hands of one of Oswego County’s professional guides is the safest, most comfortable way to fish the entire Salmon River.

Because of hydropower releases, the upper sections of the Salmon River remain ice free, even in the most bitter winter weather. Winter is a great time to enjoy steelheading in uncrowded, picturesque conditions.

Salmon River

NYS DEC Fish Hatchery Before they became extinct in the late 19th

century, Lake Ontario supported the greatest population of landlocked Atlantic salmon in

the world – the Salmon River was named after them. The DEC maintains a population by

stocking about 30,000 into the stream annually.

Patterns and SeasonsAtlantic SalmonSmall runs of Atlantic salmon ascend the Salmon River over the summer months. This is one of the few times of the year when anglers have an opportunity to see a salmon rise to a dry fly.

Brown TroutTry a well-known fly such as a leech, other egg pattern flies, or wooly buggars.

Chinook and Coho SalmonFly casters live for the thrill of sight casting to Chinook and coho salmon holding in shallow water in September, October, and early November. Effective fly patterns include comets, wooly buggars and other attractor patterns, along with nymphs on occasion.

SteelheadFrom October through early May, when steelheads are plentiful in the river, fly-fishing is in full swing. In the fall look for fresh-run steelhead, feeding actively on salmon eggs and nymphs, in faster flowing riffs, runs, and pocket water. In winter take fish on flies in deep, slow moving pools and runs. In spring, as water temperatures rise, spawning steelhead actively move to shallower riffs. Favorite flies include nymphs, egg imitations, wooly buggars, and traditional Easter steelhead patterns. Over the summer months, small runs move into the Salmon River, providing a unique but limited fishery.

Sharing the River with KayakersSeveral weekends each year, depending on water level conditions, regulated flow increases attract hundreds of kayakers and canoeists as well as Skamania, Atlantic and Chinook salmon. Anglers can expect to share the Salmon River with kayak and canoe enthusiasts during these weekends.

The Salmon River has long been regarded as one of the premier fly-fishing destinations in the world. Two sections of the upper river, comprising nearly one mile, are designated as catch-and-release fly-fishing areas.

Fly-fishing with traditional fly rod and reel and artificial flies is the only form of angling allowed on these stretches of the Salmon River. All fish must be released.

Lower Fly-Fishing Section: Open Sept. 15 – May 15. From Co. Rte. 52 bridge in the village of Altmar, extends ¼-mile to a marked boundary at Beaverdam Brook.

Upper Fly-Fishing Section: Open April 1 – Nov. 30. Begins just above the Salmon River Fish Hatchery and continues to a boundary 0.6 mile upstream. Two fishing access sites with parking are on Co. Rte. 22, at 0.7-mile and one mile from the fish hatchery.

Fish in Sandy PondBullhead Bullhead fishing peaks in April and May. Worms and leeches are the best baits.

CarpUse specialized baits such as bread, corn, baked potato or dough balls.

Largemouth BassLook for largemouths in the interior part of Sandy Pond. Surface lures such as poppers, buzzbaits and propbaits are effective on calm days. Texas-rigged plastic worms, spinnerbaits and live shiners work well when dropped in holes in the weeds or worked along cattail mats, timber and weed edges.

Smallmouth BassBronzebacks are drawn to the pond’s outlet. Use crayfish, live shiners, Carolina-rigged plastic worms, and jigheads tipped with scented plastic baits.

Northern PikeUse large shiners under bobbers, spinnerbaits and bucktail jigs.

CrappieAlso called calico bass or strawberry bass, these tasty fish are easiest to catch in spring when they gather in boating channels to spawn. They hit best on tiny minnows, but will also take a two-inch grub on a spinner form. In summer, they move out to five to 15 feet of water and respond to tiny bucktail jigs, grubs, wet flies and small poppers.

PanfishBluegills and yellow perch are plentiful in the pond. From mid-April through mid-June, use small minnows, grubs, worms and wet flies. Sunfish have a taste for tiny poppers and one-inch curly-tail grubs.

WalleyeMay and June are the best months to catch walleye. Cast or troll stickbaits or troll worms on spinner-rigged harnesses.

Did You Know?Sandy Pond consists of two ponds: North and South Sandy Pond. The North Pond

is approximately two miles wide and five miles long, while the South Pond is slightly smaller. The South Pond can be accessed via

the shallow channel at the southwestern end of North Sandy Pond.

Sandy PondThe largest embayment in the Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Wetland Area, Sandy Pond made the national spotlight when the 2006 Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit Tournament was won on its waters. Sandy Pond is a great ice fishing spot and derbies are held on many weekends throughout winter. Access is available at local marinas. (See listing on page 26)

Whether wading or boating, always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device. Neoprene waders also will aid in fishing safely.

Obey all warning signs, buoys, booms, barriers, fences, lights, and sirens. Hazards in restricted areas are very dangerous and more likely to result in permanent injury or death.

Stay alert for changes in water levels. Hydroelectric power production, upriver canal operations and natural flow variations may cause unexpected swift currents and changes in water levels.

If you see a rise in water levels, exit the river immediately.

Never try crossing the river when water rises. Move to the closest shoreline to exit.

Never fish alone.

Identify a nearby depth marker and monitor any changes in water level.

Always have an exit strategy.

Wade with caution. Wear a wader belt, keep drawstrings tight and avoid situations where waders or boots could flood. If you trip or fall, don’t panic! Keep your feet up and float with the current to calmer water.

Wear anti-slip soles, spikes, or other effective “grippers” or “corkers” when wading. Also, carry a wading stick for better footing.

In case of an emergency, call 911 with specific information.

Observe these important safety rules as you fish in the Oswego and Salmon Rivers:

This 23-mile lake forms the southeastern corner of Oswego County. During summer, fish for walleyes, northern pike, smallmouths and panfish. The shallow lake freezes over in winter, and is prime ice fishing territory for panfish, walleyes and northern pike.

Recent nationally televised tournaments, including the Outdoor Channel’s Ultimate Match College Tournament and the ESPN Bassmaster Memorial, have affirmed Oneida Lake’s excellent fishery.

Oneida Lake is convenient to fish. Interstate 90 is just minutes away, while I-81 crosses its outlet. More than two dozen public and private boat access sites, numerous private marinas and several tackle shops are located on its shoreline.

BullheadThe best bullhead fishing is in the spring at night. Use worms and leeches.

Northern PikeNortherns generally prefer weedy cover near deep water. Cast or troll large stickbaits, crankbaits, spoons and spinners along weed edges.

Panfish Bluegills, rock bass, white perch and lunker yellow perch are abundant and provide year-round fishing fun. Small minnows and worms are popular natural baits. In winter, anglers using tear-drop jigs tipped with mouse grubs to catch perch in deep water and bluegills in shallow, weedy bays.

Black CrappieIn spring, they gather in shallow bays and tributary mouths and respond to small minnows suspended below bobbers. In summer, they school up under sunken timber, docks and other structure and take tiny jigs, or wooly curltails fished on spinnerforms. In winter, they occupy weedy shallows around dusk.

Smallmouth BassSmallmouth bass fishing on Oneida Lake is excellent, with trophies ranging from 18 to 20 inches. Smallmouths feed on worms, minnows, and softshelled crayfish drifted along the bottom. Also try tubes, Carolina-rigged worms and lizards, small plugs and spinners.

WalleyeThe state DEC manages the Oneida Lake walleye population through stocking. Size and weight limits for walleyes are adjusted when the population numbers are high or low.

Walleyes are light-sensitive. In spring and summer, they visit shallow areas in low light and darkness. During daylight, they look for darker areas near weeds, drop-offs and deep water. A jighead tipped with a minnow, nightcrawler, or scented plastic grub or worm are all effective. A spinner-rigged worm harness baited with a crawler and drifted or trolled slowly on bottom also produces.

In fall, “eyes” forage in shallow water near shore and over shoals from about an hour before dark until about an hour after sunrise. They respond well to minnow-baits. Autumn is a great time to fish from the shore at Toad Harbor or the DEC’s handicap accessible fishing access site on Co. Rte. 37.

In winter, fish small, live minnows on tip-ups with a light leader and a small hook, or jig close to bottom. For open water walleyes, use live baits or scented imitations, deep-diving stickbaits, spinners with worms, and bright spoons.

For a contour map of Oneida Lake, go to www.dec.ny.gov.

NYS DEC Fish Hatchery

DEC staff from the Oneida Fish Cultural Station, located on Hatchery Road off NYS Rte. 49 in Constantia, net spawning walleyes in April,

incubate the eggs, and stock walleye fry annually. The hatchery is open to the public from April 1 to Sept. 30, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,

and may be contacted at 315-623-7311.

Sandy Pond, Oneida Lake and Lake Neahtahwanta are prime ice fishing spots.

Please follow these safety tips from the NYS DEC:• Clear, blue, hard ice over non-running water

should be at least two inches thick for one person to walk on; many anglers wait until it is three inches thick.

• Three inches can support groups walking in single file.

• It takes 7 ½ inches of ice to support a car, and 8 inches to support a small truck.

• Slush can make the ice 50 percent weaker.

• Ice covering running water can be up to 20 percent weaker.

• Be cautious of open water around bubblers, which are used to keep open water around docks and other structures. The bubbling action can undermine the ice.

• If you’re unsure of the area, check with a local tackle shop for current conditions before venturing out on the ice.

• Look for others already on the hard water and follow their paths.

• Use the buddy system.

• In warm, clear weather, be careful near shore where the sun’s rays can melt the shallow ice.

• Be especially careful near tributary mouths.

Oneida River

WalleyeIn spring, walleyes are taken in the fast water below the Caughdenoy Dam on stickbaits and bucktail jigs. In summer, they prefer the deepest water they can find in the oxbows and canal. In autumn, many return to Caughdenoy.

Largemouth BassThe oxbows are ideal bucketmouth habitat. Most anglers go after them with Texas-rigged worms worked in timber, along weed edges, riprap, and holes in the weeds, and jig ‘n pigs pitched into log jams, under docks and undercut banks. Spinnerbaits, surface lures and buzzbaits all work well.

Smallmouth BassSmallmouths seem to outnumber largemouths in the river, but their feistiness and tenacity are so much greater, most anglers prefer them. They like minnows, crayfish, jigs tipped with scented grubs, tubes, and fat-bodied crankbaits. Look for them along the drop-offs in the old river channel, rock piles and areas in front of tributary mouths.

Northern PikeNorthern pike prowl the weedy shelves near deep water and are partial to fat, juicy shiners and suckers, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits.

CrappiesIn the spring, these delicious fish congregate at the mouths of tributaries. They’re always interested in a buckeye or flathead minnow, but they’ll also take grubs, and tiny jigs.

Channel catfishAll but dormant during winter and early spring, catfish start feeding heavily around mid-May when they begin showing up in the rapids. By June, they return to deeper water. They love worms, minnows and shrimp, but will also take a lure periodically. By late fall they start shutting down.

Panfish Yellow perch, sunfish, rock bass and bullheads are plentiful in the oxbows in spring and fall and in the deeper channels in summer. They’ll take worms, 1- and 2-inch scented grubs and tiny minnows.

CarpThe Oneida River is loaded with carp. They are especially fond of the shallow, warm waters of the oxbows. A popular technique is to scatter half a can of corn into a small area and come back a couple hours later, throw some more corn out – only this time with some hooks in it.

SheepsheadThese hard-fighting fish occupy water throughout the canal. They can usually be found in the rapids and plunge pool below the dam in Caughdenoy. They’ll take a worm, minnow, jig, and sometimes a stickbait.

fyi Public Fishing

Access Points:Brewerton North Wall. Located on the east side of the US Rte 11 bridge, this concrete structure offers shore anglers a good casting platform.

Caughdenoy Dam. Shore fishing access is above and below the dam along Co. Rte. 12. The plunge pool below the barrier is rich in warmwater species like walleyes, smallies, sheepshead, white perch and gar pike. Access from the parking area along Co. Rte. 12 or Caughdenoy Marina.

Big Bend: Located at the tip of an oxbow on the Oneida River in Schroeppel, this site offers shore fishing at the Co. Rte. 12 bridge crossing the mouth of Peter Scott Swamp. Head east out of Phoenix on Co. Rte. 12.

For more information, call 800-248-4FUN14

The outlet of Oneida Lake, the Oneida River meanders several miles before it converges with the Seneca and Oswego rivers at Three Rivers. When the Barge Canal was built early in the last century, three cuts were made to bypass the largest oxbows. A dam sits at Caughdenoy, the site of natural rapids. At Lock 23 the river drops seven feet to reach the level of the Seneca and Oswego rivers.

Generally shallow, weedy and slow-moving, the oxbows offer great northern pike, largemouth bass, crappy, panfish and carp fishing. The old river channel has a slight current and supports smallmouth bass, walleye and catfish populations. Riprap lining on both sides of the canal is loaded with insects, crayfish, minnows, frogs, snakes and other organisms. After a stiff rain, tributaries are filled with a variety of nutrients, and fish stage in front of the culverts to feed.

Lake Neahtahwanta

Set on the western edge of Fulton in the town of Granby, Lake Neahtahwanta is a perfect year-round fishery. Its close proximity to all the comforts of the city make it the ideal fishing destination for the entire family.

Spring sees shore anglers catching bullhead dinners. In summer, northern pike, largemouth bass, white perch, yellow perch, crappie, and bowfin are in their prime. Warm autumn days send the fish on feeding binges, and ice fishing on the lake is a popular winter activity.

The park at Bullhead Point has a shelter, tourism center and pier. The nearby North Bay Recreational Area has a campground, paved launch, and plenty of shore access.

For a contour map of the lake, go to www.dec.ny.gov.

• 683-acre lake

• Averages 6 feet deep and drops to 12 feet at its maximum depth

• Highly nutrified warm-water

BullheadThe best bite is in the spring, but bullheads hit well from early spring through mid-fall. The most productive time is at night and the best bait is a juicy worm fished on bottom.

Largemouth BassLargemouth bass can be taken throughout this shallow lake, on free-lined minnows and drifted crayfish, spinnerbaits, plastic worms, jerkbaits, tube baits, and top water lures.

Northern PikeRespond best to big baits. Some of the most productive include shiners suspended below bobbers, stickbaits, spinnerbaits, and tubes baited with a minnow and jigged in weed openings.

CrappieCrappies respond best to small minnows, wet flies and 1- to 2-inch grubs fished plain or attached to a spinner form.

PanfishWorms work for bluegills, pumpkinseeds, yellow and white perch.

BowfinThe lake is home to a large population of bowfin. They have a taste for large minnows, worms and crayfish.

Named by the Iroquois, “Ne-ah-tah-wan-tah” has been known to have two meanings: “the little lake near the great lake” and

White-tailed deer … wild turkey … ruffed grouse … waterfowl … squirrels … rabbits and snowshoe hare … Whatever your game, with 40,000 acres of public land – open to hunting and teeming with wildlife – you’ll find it in Oswego County!

Whitetails rank as the area’s most popular game animal. The county’s 15 state forests and wildlife management areas, combined with vast tracts of undeveloped private land, provide prime deer habitat.

The DEC’s successful restoration of wild turkeys has made gobblers a common sight across Oswego County. One of the best spots is the 8,645-acre Happy Valley Wildlife Management Area.

The coastal waters of Lake Ontario and wetlands just behind the dunes at Deer Creek Wildlife Management Area harbor a wide variety of ducks and geese. Further inland, try Oneida Lake’s Big Bay and Three Mile Bay Wildlife Management Areas.

Finally, Oswego County even offers underwater game. If you’re good with a bow, take a shot at carp on Oneida Lake or the Oswego and Oneida rivers, habitat to some of the greatest carp populations in the Northeast. Trophies in the 40-lb. range are possible.

Where Can I Get A License?• Sporting licenses may be purchased over the counter at license-

issuing outlets, bait shops and in village and town clerk offices.

• Hunters under age 16 must apply for a license in person and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

• New hunters must complete a mandatory hunter education course to obtain a hunting license.

For more information on hunting regulations and licensing requirements, visit the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation website at www.dec.ny.gov or call 518-402-8883.
