To catch walleye at Honeoye Lake try fishing in early morning, evening and at night. Drifting or trolling slowly with spinner and worm harness combinations, stickbaits, worms, leeches or minnows works well. In spring, focus on deeper waters with weedbeds. Try using tip-ups and minnows or jigs with minnow imitations in winter.
To catch largemouth bass try fishing shallow weedy areas and using plastic worms, spinnerbaits, jigs-n-pigs, weedless crankbaits and surface plugs.
When fishing for chain pickerel, spoons, spinners, spinnerbaits, stickbaits, large shiners suspended under bobbersand, and rubber worms work well in and near weedbeds.
Yellow perch can be found in shallow weedy bays and near shoals. In winter this fish can be found in deep water. Anchor and fish, or ice fish with jigs tipped with grubs, worms, wigglers or minnows work well here.
