Olcott New York Reports

[Chadnofish]

I have a buddy that went up to Olcott last week and said they did very well on Coho and Steelies about 8 miles out. Any body else here fish that area? I am in dire need of catching a few salmonoid spieces and thinking about planning a trip! Also how long will they stay in the lake for? I take it the season is probaly almost over for the big lake? All the help is appreciated, Thanks Chad

Here is a report from a couple days ago, water temps are 60-65.

. Lake Ontario and Tributaries ~

Good water flow has triggered good runs of salmon, browns and steelhead in 18 Mile Creek according to Wes Walker at the Slippery Sinker. The water is a bit murky right now so the best baits have been egg pattern baits like egg sacks. Nightcrawlers have also been effective. Some big fish have been caught, too. David Neithe of Olcott is the current brown trout leader with a 17.57 pound fish caught at Burt Dam on egg skein. We're trying to confirm a 43 pound salmon caught at the dam - but they weren't in the derby. Off the Olcott piers, night action has been good to very good, depending on how the winds and weather cooperate. The leading Fish Odyssey salmon came off the pier when Roy Letcher of Olcott hooked into a 29.93 pound salmon while casting a wigglewart. Look for glow in the dark spoons like Little Cleos and K-O Wobblers to be effective this weekend, as well as glow Rat-L-Traps. Out in the lake, trollers can still take fish in tight with J13 J-Plugs first thing in the morning - 15 feet of water is a good starting point. As the day progresses, move out deeper to 50 to 80 feet of water. J-plugs will catch fish, but so will spoons and flasher-flies. Over at the Oak, a similar program is available with some fish in the creek, some mature kings being caught off the wall and some salmon and trout being caught out deep. They have produced the leading steelhead, a 15.8 pound fish caught by Dave Curtis of Maine. The top carp was also caught there, a 24.98 pound fish reeled in by Jason Long of Batavia. Northern Pike fishing has been good over in Wilson according to reports.

Yep.. good advice here as usual. Can't beat the #4 Jplugs flatlined this time of year. Silver bullet and green glow are deadly. We had pretty good success using mag spoons with long leads off the riggers. Down only 8' or so and about 80' back. That was 2 weeks ago off point breeze.
Good luck and fun with them. Fish are BIG this year!
