How late is to late???

[Fish-hawk]

Hey Guys,

I took our first trip up to Oswego on 8/20 but an Illness in my nephews family ended our trip after one day of fishing We did well for newbies going 3 for 3 all kings 12lb, 15.9lb and 23.11lbs. My question is this - I can come back up either 9/16 - 9/20 or 9/23 - 9/26 and was wondering what is to late for trolling for kings on the lake.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Phil

9/16 should be good in close how ever if the temps drop and the rain comes the fish will run the river's , if ya come later bring wader's and and stream gear just incase !

Fish-hawk,

Last year while guys were battling the blow boats and each other around the mouth of the Genny, we headed off-shore most days and nights and the steelhead fishing was the best of the season.

Good luck,

Does anybody have a sense of how far out (FOW) I would need to go to get into steelies off the mouth of the Salmon River? If it's 250-350', I'm curious how far out I gotta go to get there, I don't have a contour map in front of me.
