The New York State Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide runs from April 1st to March 30th. The 2018-19 Official guide has a picture of an angler holding a giant smallmouth bass on the cover. The Fishing Guide can be picked up where fishing licenses are sold, or viewed at Freshwater Fishing Regulations

 

Oswego and Wayne Counties have weekly fishing hotlines on their web sites as well and would be another good option for fishing reports; Oswego County (visitoswegocounty.com); and Wayne County (waynecountytourism.com). Though Onondaga County doesn't have a weekly fishing report, their web site is another good source of fishing information in the region (fishonondagacounty.com).

 

Region 7:

 

Lake Ontario

The lake fishing is really slowing down as salmon are staging off river mouths or have started entering the rivers. Some are still being taken in 100 feet of water or less on spoons or cut-bait and flashers.

There will be public meetings on the status of Lake Ontario alewife population and changes to 2019 salmon stocking. For meeting dates and location please view Lake Ontario Fisheries Meetings.
