Lake Notes:  Oneida Lake is the largest lake located entirely within New York.  During the summer months walleye are usually caught by trolling worm harnesses and stickbaits in deeper water. They may also be found along outside weed edges and can be caught on jigs and blade baits. As the water cools in the fall, walleye move back into the shallows.  Smallmouth bass can be caught around the many shoals on crayfish, minnows, tube baits and crankbaits. Largemouth bass are found in the larger bays and anywhere there is good vegetation growth.  Lake sturgeon can be found in Oneida Lake and its tributaries; however lake sturgeon are on New York's threatened species list and can not be fished for or possessed.  Max. depth of 58 ft.  Avg. depth of 22 ft.  55 miles of shoreline.
