Madison County has a number of canal feeder reservoirs that provide high quality fishing. 37 acre Stony Pond has fine largemouth bass fishing in a remote setting. 51,000 acre Oneida Lake has possibly the best walleye fishing in New York State. Limit catches of large and smallmouth bass are not uncommon, but possibly the most popular fish is the yellow perch.
Ice fishing is a tradition around the lake.
