Walleye
Looking to hook into some walleye near Amsterdam, NY? The Mohawk River is your primary target. This section of the Mohawk is known for its slower currents and deeper pools, creating ideal habitat for walleye. Spring and fall are prime times, as walleye move upriver to spawn in the spring and then feed heavily in the fall to prepare for winter. Jigs tipped with nightcrawlers or minnows are consistently effective, especially around submerged structure like fallen trees or rock piles. Consider focusing your efforts near Lock E11 in Amsterdam, as the current breaks and deeper water nearby often hold fish. Be mindful of water levels, as heavy rains can significantly impact clarity and fishing conditions. A New York State fishing license is required, and it's worth checking the DEC website for any specific regulations on the Mohawk River.
