Lake Ontario/Oswego River report:

 

According to Capt. Andy Grisenthwaite of Broad Horizons Charters:

 

On Saturday morning’s trip we started out salmon fishing but after a somewhat slow bite and boating a few salmon we decided to switch gears for browns. The size of the browns were a little better than other recent trips with fish of 10 and 11 pounds. My afternoon trip was determined to stay on kings and even though the bite felt a little slow, we ground out a good number of bites and boated some nice fish. For the salmon we worked depths from 150 to 300 FOW with moonshine spoons, Atomik meatrigs and flies on various attractors. Browns were in 50 FOW and eagerly bit stingray spoons on riggers and divers.

 

According to Capt. Tom Burke of Cold Steel Sportfishing Charters:

 

Last Wednesday was kids’ day on the Cold Steel! Lots of memories were made, smiles had and salmon were caught. Building the next generation of anglers one trip at a time! Atommik copper and meat rigs and Michigan Stinger flashers and spoons did the bulk of our damage in 120-160 FOW.
