Oneida 5/1

[Mikeyman104]

Went out on Oneida for the opening of walleye. After getting the kids ready and off to school in the morning I got rods in around 9:30 to a pretty stiff east wind. Water was 49 at the start of the day and 52 by the time I called it at 2:30. 

 

Started out trolling some stick baits without much luck but did happen to get this guy, which I believe is a brown but others I've shown think it might be an Atlantic? Either way, was cool to get and was tossed back after the pic. Think it's a brown or Atlantic? 

 

After not much happening with sticks, I switched to some worms harnesses and got 3 short eyes but was slow going with no keepers.

Saw a guy many years ago on the walleye opener with a northern and a brown on a stringer? I'm thinking that a stocked brown that dropped down from Chittenango creek...........

ITS LOOKS ALOT LIKE A ATLANTIC MY GUESS IT IS

Looks like a juvenile Atlantic. Most likely stocked by the fish creek Atlantic salmon club. If they still exist. I doubt that system is seeing much natural reproduction.

Square tail and mouth ends before it goes past the eye. Brown Trout

brown - square tail is a giveaway, not the spots
