Lake Ontario:
According to Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing Charters:
Lake Ontario fishing in the eastern basin is excellent right now with limit plus catches every time out! Along with some hefty browns, there are plenty of lake trout, Atlantics and a few Chinooks mixed in. The best baits are black silver orange belly smithwicks, fished on the surface about 150 feet behind the boat and dream weaver spoons in black and silver, glow green, and orange, fished 4 to 10 feet down off of the downriggers. Look for colored water and warmer temperatures and the fish will be there.
Oswego River:
According to Larry Muroski of Larry’s Oswego Salmon Shop:
The water level has dropped to just over 20,000cfs as of this morning. This is still very high and makes most of the river unfishable with the exception of some activity behind the hotels. Stickbaits, nightcrawlers and leeches are suggested bait to try. Boat anglers working the waters of the harbor area are finding stickbaits working well. Anglers are also finding some walleye in these areas.
