Anyone have any tips on where to start trying to catch some fall kings. I fished spring for the first time this year. Trying to make a trip up in the next two weeks but am. It real sure where to start. Prob going out of oak orchard or olcott. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance

Olcott has been good, the niagara bar is another solid option. If you go niagara you can troll the bar or drift the river for kings.

Thanks. Any info on depths or will a week or two make a big difference between what's going on now?

Depending on the temps and wind it could change overnight. In a week or two I feel like a lot of fish will be in 30 FOW or less, but if it stay hot then who knows.

Ok. Thanks. I'll keep trying to stay updated with what little posts are on here lately and try checking back a couple days before we come up.

Was at the bar last Sunday. Screen loaded with fish. Only caught two small ones. I think they quit biting completely.

Hopefully not the case. Going to try to come up the 2nd 3rd and maybe 4th of October. Weather pending.

Olcott is ready to go. A few kings at the dam. Quite a few caught this morning in the channel. Boats were trolling in front of the piers probably no further than 40 fow. With rain forecasted for tomorrow and cooler weather that would be my plan.

If the lake is calm and the inside bite sucks, the offshore immature king and steelhead bite can be awesome at this time of the year.

I'm planning on running spoons, flashers with fly's and squids, and possibly j plugs if I get some in time. Will these work for all species of salmon and trout? They were productive in spring but I've never fished the fall bite yet

The offshore bite at this time of the year is mostly spoons and some flashers and flies.  Kings are usually deep and in cold water and the steelies are usually in and above the thermalcline.  Most of the kings are 100' plus down.

Thanks. Much appreciated.
