The spring season......

[klecko]

Being new to this I wanted to ask the question....what exactly is the spring season for brown trout?  Can some of you give me your experience in terms of when you try to get out versus when the fishing typically shuts down.  Have Friday off and have to pick up some things in Ogdensburg so I am going to take the boat along and check out Mexico for the first time......Doesn't look too promising and I won't take any chances but I figure I'll give it a shot.  Anyone want to go fishing? lol.  If you see a 17 foot deep v Pike with twin downriggers.....that's me

I've been out twice this spring. Caught 5 and 6 Browns in my two outings. Friday looks like it might be pretty rough so keep an eye on the weather. Strong west winds are rough and south or east winds are more manageable.

Browns are generally available from ice out through May in the shallows 7-15 fow. After water warms a bit they move to deeper water but can still be targeted. Check out post to see what is working.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I'll err on the side of caution f it looks rough.  Fishing in Algonquin starts soon and I'm getting very impatient with this weather.

You can google Lake Ontario marine forecast and just look at the area your fishing for an idea on wave activities

Right now for Friday it says 3-6' building to 4-7 footers

Thank you for that info....not the conditions I want!
