Seasonal Activity Chart

Walleye
Walleye fishing near Shortsville, NY, primarily revolves around Canandaigua Lake and its associated tributaries. While the lake itself is the main draw, some walleye will migrate into the lower reaches of Ganargua Creek during spawning runs in the spring. Focus your efforts during the pre-spawn and early post-spawn periods. Trolling or casting crankbaits and jigs near creek mouths and rocky shorelines can be productive. In the lake, try trolling deeper waters with worm harnesses or crankbaits. Access to Canandaigua Lake is readily available through various public boat launches and parks. Be sure to check lake depth charts to identify promising walleye holding areas. The walleye population in Canandaigua Lake is generally healthy, and you have a decent chance of landing a quality fish. Local tip: pay attention to water clarity, as walleye tend to prefer slightly stained water. Early morning or late evening hours often produce the best results. Check NY fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
