Walleye? Where are there walleye in Oneida? I was at Daniels Reservoir last week. About 5 inches of ice and fished pretty good. Checked crowthers today. About 3-4 inches of snowy ice and 1-2 of good clear ice. Some people were fishing it. I would fish it in the morning maybe. Find check out devil Creek in the morning

You can fish for walleye in the summer from the dam all the way up to Thatcher in the spring. Good population toward the border on the Bear River as well. Fish the east side along the rock banks all the way to maple Grove campground and off the dam when it freezes well enough. BE CAREFUL! Drill some test holes right off the edge. I've gone out and drilled holes before and had ten foot of air between the ice and water they mess with the water levels alot. The ice can be thin in spots as well. Haven't fished it thru the ice in 5 years or so.

Here are some pics from one afternoon this past summer out of onieda. We caught so many small mouth we got tired of it so we went searching for walleyes and it took a while but once we found them we were picking them up consistently.

Has anyone had any luck on the smallies through the ice up there?

Thanks FISHAMANIAC for the report!!!  Hoping the warm weather doesn't take out a bunch of ice.  Does anyone know where to find eyes this time of year at Oneida?  Never fished it and from google earth, I was looking at fishing the west side of the dam.  Maybe Sunday morning, goose hunting today.
