Chittenango
Lions Walleye Derby on Oneida Lake
NYS Opening
weekend, beginning of May
TAGGED FISH
EVENT
In April,
during the walleye spawning run, the Lions visit the NY State Walleye Fish
hatchery in Constantia NY, and work with Bill Evans and his DEC hatchery staff
to tag and release three large walleye in undisclosed
locations on Oneida Lake. These tagged fish will be worth $5000, $2500, or $1250 if caught by a derby entrant and turned in to one of
the many derby measuring stations during the derby
event (thus no later than
3-pm Sunday afternoon). A list of this year’s three tag numbers will
be available to measuring station personnel. Good Luck to all derby
entrants!!!
2022 Winning Tag Numbers: $5,000: 0069174 $2,500: 0069178 $1,250: 0069177 |
