Does anybody know if the lake is set up in front of Olcott yet? Any word on browns in close? Or Kings & steelhead out deeper? FOW and depth for each??

I'm going in the morning, I will post how we do. I heard you need to run out to 400 fow but I'm not sure about that. I was out yesterday for a couple hours before we got blown off. Found 50 degree water 80' down over 180'. In 2 hours we took 4 shots, one was gone before I got to the rod, chrome green dot spinny with a crinkle green fly on a mag dipsey 200' back on #1 setting. The other three took a sea sick waddler off a rigger set 75' down over 180 fow. We landed one skippy and lost the other two trying to keep them out of the wire lines. It was pretty rough so I wasn't surprised we dropped them near the back of the boat. They seemed like they were a little bit better fish but no screamers that's for sure. The currents were crazy and trying to keep them behind the boat was a chore. Good luck.

Looking at the temp transects page on NOAA, I would say there is a nice verticle temp break probably just outside the Niagara water flow ....say 250'???. I would be probing the typical 80-225' zone. 60-100' down. Just a guess.

Tuesday we found our 4 kings in front of Wilson..250 F.O.W.  Talked to another boat who found quite a few more out in 400'. Talked to a friend out of Olcott, that was catching all the browns he needed in tight down there....Also heard some lake trout were caught just west of the red can...

 

Pick a species and go fish for them, you should do well.  :)

I'm also planning an after work trip tomorrow, haven't gotten a chance to fish lake O much so I guess I'll drop lines around 80-100 and troll north and see if we can bend a rod !

Note we have a full moon phase so no hurry to get out at the crack of dawn.  Kings feeding all night often bite good in the 10 am- 2 pm window.  The north shore has rolled over and is pushing cold water across.  I would be probably looking close to shore in the warmer water.  There might be Kings in "brown trout water" this weekend.

I went for the browns this morning. Out of Olcott. Report said inside 50 FOW. I set up in 30'. Nothing. 40'. 50'. 60'. Nothing. Then I got 4 browns in 70 FOW. They seemed to shut off just after 10:00 am.

Keep these reports coming guys. Its nice to see the fishing is starting to pick up again. Hopefully I will be out Sunday for the first time in 2 weeks, and have a report to add here. Sucks living 5 minutes from port and not having time to fish.

I hate living 5 minutes from port and conditions so bad that it's not worth going out. Was ok today. Hope it gets better soon.

Fishing was good until the dreaded east wind came in. Here we go again bye bye fish...20 hours of east wind today, tomorrow should be horrendous for catching...
