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).

 

The New York State Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide runs from April 1 to March 31. The 2019-2020 Official guide has a picture of a mother and daughter holding a nice steelhead on the cover. The

Fishing Guide can be picked up where fishing licenses are sold, or viewed at Freshwater Fishing Regulations

 

Trout season kicked off on April 1st and for more information on trout fishing please view Fishing for Stream Trout, for places to go view Public Fishing Rights, and for anticipated stocking numbers view Trout Stocking.

 

As of Friday, May 10th the following waters will have been stocked with trout:

Owasco Outlet (May 3), North Brook (April 19), Salmon Creek (April 11), Owasco Inlet (April 10), and Fall Creek (May 9 and April 3).

 

Region 7:

 

Lake Ontario

 

With the high-water levels, there are no wake zones for many Lake Ontario shorelines and bays. The Brown Trout fishing continues to be good, though the wind has still been blowing a lot lately. Some spring Chinook Salmon are also being taken out a little deeper than the Brown Trout; some days the King Salmon bite has been better than the Brown Trout bite. Spoons have been working for Brown Trout and King Salmon with stick baits also working for Brown Trout.
