Walleye
Walleye anglers looking for a Utica-area hotspot should set their sights on the Mohawk River. The river, particularly the sections near the Lock 20 dam, holds a decent population of walleye. Spring and fall are peak seasons as the walleye move around to spawn and feed aggressively before winter. Jigging minnows or using crankbaits along the deeper channels and near submerged structure is a proven tactic. A key local tip is to pay attention to water flow from the dam, as increased flow can concentrate fish. Boat access is available at several public launches along the Mohawk, but be aware of potential hazards like submerged rocks and swift currents. The walleye in the Mohawk tend to be on the smaller side, but persistence can pay off with a keeper or two. Night fishing can also be productive, especially during the warmer months.
