According to Capt. Andy Bliss of Chasin Tail Adventures:
The fishing on Lake Ontario remains Fantastic! Browns are being taken from the shoreline out to 30 feet. Hot baits are stickbaits in natural patterns by Thunderstick, Rapala, and Smithwick. Stinger s
poons have also been very productive in a variety of colors, Rosemary’s baby, green dolphin, black widow, and green glo alewife. The waters around the mouth of the Oswego River are heating up quickly spreading the fish out a bit. Just cover water to find active schools. Catches have been good from the river all the way to 9 Mile Point.
Oswego River:
According to Larry Muroski of Larry’s Oswego Salmon Shop:
Conditions on the river are slowly improving as the water level has dropped to 16,800cfs as of this morning. This is still high for fishing many areas of the river but it is showing some improvement. Behind the hotels is producing browns, steelhead and a few walleye. The Kiddie Pool is active with browns, steelhead, walleye, smallmouth bass and panfish. The canal between Lock 8 and Lock 7 is producing steelhead, browns, panfish and perch. Bucktail jigs tipped with a worm, leeches, spinnerspoons, stickbaits are working for browns and steelhead; smallmouth bass are taking twister tails and stickbaits; worms, spikes and hair jigs are working for perch and panfish. Rockbass are taking hair jigs, tube jigs and minnows near the floating dock by a blue crane at Wright’s Landing and in front of Breitbeck Park near a blue crane. Also look for blue gills, perch and crappies in these areas taking minnows.
