oswego 8/5

[traveling man]

I finally got my boat out of the repair shop and headed to Oswego. Fished solo so only ran 2 rods. Set up in 100 ft and trolled to 310. Best looking area was 210 - 225. Headed back into that area and had a silver e chip with a B fly go on the wire dipsey. Had my new Shimano reels on the wire and the drag was not set light enough, fish was gone. I gave up on that area and head back to deeper water. Silver chip/B fly combo went again at 300fow, 18lb salmon. Kept heading north and my rigger went in 375fow. 5# brown on a NBK. That was my morning the fish are scattered. I had 48* down 80ft if i could keep my speed right. If i speeded up a little it would go to 52* There was a lot of guys doing the north south troll looking for fish and bait. Hopefully i will be back up on Wednesday.

Thanks for the report Chris. Glad to hear your boat is back where it belongs. Did I read your report right....brown over 375 fow?

Doesn't sound like much has changed in Oswego over the last week.

I was surprised at a brown out that far. That just shows how scattered the fish are.
