Niagara Bar 9/12

[skipper19]

If you ask me, most of the shaker Chinook look pretty healthy to me; none looked starved to me this summer.

True enough!..in terms of what we catch, they all look healthy indeed. The ones we don't catch might have starved, but in context, I was really speaking figuratively, and by no means meant the fish that I caught looked that way. I just think the reason they are so voraciously grabbing a large spoon is that they are used to seeing large alewife and probably would think the target was an easy meal compared to the chase they give to the real thing!..like an infant trying to eat steak!..sort of..

Was out today in the morning and evening. What a tough tough bite out there in front of olcott, fished anywhere from 25 fow to 120 fow marked lots of fish but could not get them to bite for the life of me. Ended up with one 3 lb King in 130 fow this morning nothing this evening saw one hook up and that's all. I'm stumped

There are fish at the bar but this late in the game I would say 2/3rds of the usual numbers have run the river.

We fished 8-11 am yesterday, caught two both in a small pocket in 113 ft of water, tried in close with jplugs and flasher flies in 30-50 ft nothing and no marks so we pushed north till we found some marks on bottom and fished em. 100 rigger and 275 wire both on FF.

I heard there were good marks out in 300 to 340 but had a buddy out there who wasn't hooking up either so I didn't bother to head out that far just stayed at about 130

We stayed close to border  in 70 to 110fow. Ran 4 wire divers all with FF and 2 riggers with big flashers and meat.Spinny white double crush glow with no seeum fly was best. Biggest King  about 25lbs. One dark mature was only about 12lbs. Gorgeous day to be on lake!! Thats gonna end our season, can't wait for spring!!

  I know we had lots of winds this past week but does anyone think there might still be good fishing at the bar this coming week of 10/2/ 16    Thanks

Lineman49 I'm gonna fish out of Wilson today, but I'm heading towards olcott rather than the bar, I'm thinking that will hold a decent but of staging fish and hopefully some fat Browns
