Long point has good access but I've yet to catch a walleye on chatauqua so I have no idea where you should look

Walleyes are more or less hit or miss. You either catch em one day or you don’t. Long Point state park, and Prendergast are two very good easy access areas and walleyes are often caught there. Have patience and maybe you will catch a few. Lately we’ve been seeing more marks in the 25-35’ depths. Been fishing prendergast a lot. Walk out and go to the right and fish off of the Snug Harbor sign. That is where the creek mouth is. The walleyes like to swim around that area in the mornings and evening. Best of luck to you!

Ice is never good near the stream

[gunner1973]

Yeah I know moving water makes for bad ice. I just wonder how far away you have to be from it to be safe, that's all. I use to fish there in the summer a lot when I was younger.
