Below is a link to a DEC survey asking for input on changing the daily bag limit from 3 walleyes at 15" to 5 walleyes at 15" on Oneida Lake.
It is a very short survey. Please take the time to complete it. It will be available until Wednesday July 8th.

Pretty basic survey. Looks suspiciously like they just need a little more justification to increase the limit to five. That’s great if they do. I live almost exactly equal distant between Dunkirk on Erie and Sylvan beach. 6 fish on Erie compared to three on Oneida makes me head west and not east. If the limit is changed, my car navigation is going to get very confused in the mornings 😁

It is my understanding that there is some rough criteria around the limits.
around 250,000 adult fish is a trigger
around 750,000 adult fish is a trigger
When we got down to the 250,000 fish mark is when the size limit went to 3 fish at 18". Once we got safely above there we went to a 15" size limit. Now we are above 750,000 and they are ready to possibly make another change.
I like the idea that we can have some input on this.

Got a response back from John Harmon

Just remember the fish hatchery didn"t operate this spring. I don"t know what percentage of fish are natural spawners.

Wife and I fished Oneida 3 times this past winter. From my understanding Legal limit is 18" and not 15". Please educate me. Thanks.......

Thanks for the update. Received bad info and was too lazy to check. Didn't matter because we had no luck catching them.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Brad much appreciated, we all have good and slow days , last couple trips keeping them buttoned has been a problem , that’s jigging 👍

Once the ice is thick enough. Wife and I went 3 times last year. 1st was Sylvan Beach on the 4' ice sheets. Not fun. Usually walk. No machine.
