Honeoye Lake fish questions

[fishincrazy]

Does anyone know the length walleyes have to be?  I think they lowered the actualy length a couple of years ago to 15 inches but I'm not sure?  Also what is the limit on the eyes, is it 3 or 5?  One more stupid question what is the limit on bass?

Thanks

Fishincrazy,
  The limit on walleyes is 15" min size and 3 keepers daily.  They decreased the minimum length from 18 inches to 15 inches, but kept the daily limit at 3.  Since Honeoye gets so much pressure I think this is a good compromise.  As for the bass...they need to be 12" and you are allowed 5 daily.  DEC has encouraged people to keep a few bass from the lake as it seems like its really overrun with stunted bass....This year it seems like you can't keep em off your line. Hope this helps and good luck!

By the way, you are allowed to keep bass in the winter on the western fingerlakes (this includes honeoye) and the season closes on march 15th

Thanks IceGeek.  Yeah the day I fished Honeoye between two of us we caught 10 bass.  Made running tip-ups alot of fun because we got a ton of flags.  On the camera I had to see 100 bass it was amazing and the hude gills where running with the bass.

I believe you about the gills too...for some reason they are HUGE this year....sorry again if I came across like a jerk!

No problem man, I don't hold gruges and I realize everyone is welcomed to their own opinion.  No offense taking man.  Thanks for the info.
