Walleye
DeRuyter, New York, offers a surprisingly good walleye fishery in its namesake DeRuyter Reservoir. This relatively shallow reservoir, covering nearly 700 acres, provides ideal walleye habitat, especially around submerged structure and weed edges. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. Try trolling crankbaits along the old creek channels or casting jigs tipped with live bait near rocky points. Access is available via a public boat launch on the reservoir's western shore. Be aware that DeRuyter Reservoir can experience significant weed growth during the summer months, so plan your tactics accordingly. Many anglers find success fishing after dark when walleye move into the shallows to feed. The walleye here tend to be of decent size, with fish in the 3-5 pound range being common.
