Stocking in onondaga started yesterday

They stock Onandaga ?   I'm confused.  Isn't that a catch and release only water ?  I thought that was like certain areas on the Hudson where you could fish but no keeping.
   Maybe I'm wrong?

ALL THRU OUT ONONDAGA COUNTY...........NOT ONONDAGA LAKE..........

[trapper2000]

state wide regulations on onondaga lake  lake so i think you can keep fish if you want .... i know they do at long branch park

Onondaga county trout stocking from carpenters brook hatchery, some do end up in Onondaga lake from the tribs

[trapper2000]

the state stocked ononadaga with tiger musky too....i would think it would be a good lake to put sturgeon in too

Never been there  I'll bet it gets a lot of pressure so close to the city

Thanks it’s been a great companion over the years , I bought it roughly 35-37 years ago off trapps buddy at midway bait in Fulton , the original strap crapped out, that 1 I bought of a lady near Lowville ny , she made it for me  , the creel has an 18” basket ,

that was a different owner ,that would have been Ray Keck the orginal owner  .....funny thing i have the same exact creel  lol my brother gave me a about 20 years ago  when he sort of got away from fishing for awhile

I remember growing up in Mass when there was a trout season. That first morning of trout season everybody and his brother was out trout fishing a local small lake. So many boats you could almost walk across them. Then after about week I had that little lake almost all to myself. Mass no longer has a season on the ponds anymore as far as I know.

That opening morning was exciting. The night before was just like anticipating Christmas morning opening presents! One year I was in charge of getting the tackle ready and decided putting heavier lines on the spinning reels would be better (I was about 11 years old). We had problems with 20 lb. test on the light spinning reels!
