Walleye fishing continues to be slow over the last few weeks. Yellow perch fishing has picked up with fish being taken on small crayfish in 10 to 20 feet of water. Smallmouth bass fishing also slowed down but some are still hitting tube jigs and drop-shot rigs around the shoals. There also continues to be smallmouth hitting around schools of small gizzard shad. When birds are seen diving on these shad schools fishing in the area has been producing some smallmouth bass.

Top New York Ice Fishing Lakes

Lake Champlain - Lake Champlain is popular with ice-fishermen because it contains both coldwater and warmwater species. Most anglers target walleyes, smelts, perch, pike, landlocked salmon and lake trout, they also take rainbow and brown trout, pickerel, muskellunge, crappies and other panfish.

Saratoga Lake - Ice-fishermen at Saratoga Lake can count on a mixed bag, with plenty of weedy shallows harboring pike, bluegills and crappies, with walleyes and perch usually hanging at intermediate depths or near the bottom.

Lake Ontario - Sodus Bay is the center of ice-fishing activity on the south shore of Lake Ontario, a favorite destination for Rochester-area fishermen. Conditions here are varied, from plenty of weed-filled shallows leading to deeper water with gentle dropoffs and structure along the west side of Eagle and Newark islands. Fishing off points extending out from shore is recommended for pike, perch and panfish.

Oneida Lake - The large Shackleton Shoals in the middle of the lake is the most noted walleye-perch hotspot. A cluster of shoals off Constantia, including Pancake, Grassy and Dakin, are also popular fish magnets, along with Messenger Shoal in the east end.

Lake Erie - For excellent perch fishing, with an occasional run of lunker walleyes, try Sturgeon Point, where there is good public access.  Perch schools often hold along the same ledges and dropoffs as in the spring and fall, try fishing northwest of Sturgeon Point toward the Evans-Angola Bar.

Chautauqua Lake - Walleyes attract most ice-fishermen to the northern basin, due to its deeper water and more diverse habitat. Anglers usually set up over a rock or gravel bottom at depths ranging from 20 to 50 feet. Recommended areas include Prendergast Point, Long Point, Chautauqua Institution and Mission Meadows.  Chautauqua Lake also offers excellent perch and crappie fishing at Bemus Bay, Dewittville Bay and Irwins Bay in the northern basin, and at Ashville Bay in the southern basin.
