Finally made it out to oneida today. I have wanted to try it ever since hearing about the 'eyes that are rumored to lurk in the depths there. On the way in I just couldn't pass by that beautiful stretch of river without wetting a line so I tried a few holes and managed to land several smallmouth.
Once on the res the wind blew me all over the place and I had to work my butt off looking for the fish. Finally I discovered that the smallmouth were holding tight against shore; after that I had no problem catching all I wanted. I also caught 6 huge perch and four walleye. None of the 'eyes were bragging worthy but I was delighted to catch them nonetheless.
All in all it was an incredible afternoon. The scenery was incredible and the fishing was good if not super fast. I can't wait to return.
