Oneida Lake
Referred to as the thumb of the Finger Lakes, Oneida is shallow, rocky, and full of smallmouth bass with plenty of largemouth bass as well. Having grown up in nearby Syracuse, I fished this lake a lot when I wasn’t at my Black Lake cottage or off to a tournament elsewhere.
New York allows pre-season catch and release for bass on Oneida beginning on May 1st. The lake is also very good in the fall. Shallow water techniques work fine here with a good mix of rocks and weeds.
