Good to know about the water levels, thanks.
I do my part to keep a limit of the pansized smallies every time I go there. I wish others would as well so that they don't stunt out like they do on so many of our utah waters. The smallies in Oneida are very mild and taste awsome.
I don't keep largemouths when I go fishing for them because I think they taste mossy as a general rule....maybe it's just the water I catch them out of. They are just really fun to catch and send back though.
The perch have always been there and I've caught them ever since I started fishing it over 20 years ago, but I just never targeted them until now. My walleye catch rate has gone up significantly since targeting perch though. I guess they hang out together somewhat?
When the water on the reservoir is murky or conditions aren't good for boats, I usually just head down on the river and catch all the smallies and trout I can handle. I've caught several smallies in the 15-16" range on the river this year as well.
