That’s a steelhead not a brown. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Outflows went up at midnight again last night.......

Small orange dodgers and small orange spin doctors work awesome. Run them off of short cores. The bite has been awesome down west from the reports.

Low is not good and high is not good. Why cant we just achieve Historical average and ride it? In February, the IJC released a statement that they had reached the historical average but were going to continue to let water out to be ready for the snow melt. The marinas on Sandy Creek are unusable due to low water. If the water doesn't come up, we are screwed. The IJC needs to use common sense and look at precipitation, lake levels of the upper great lakes (inflow) and snow pack amounts. We were in a drought last year, behind in snowfall over the entire Lake Ontario basin, and behind in total precipitation this spring. Why cant they just use common sense and data that is readily available?

IJC is upping the outflow tomorrow. WTF!

There are days when too many sets of attractors shut them down. When this happens, run a “clean” Gambler Rig on one rigger a little further back and cowbells/ death trap on the other rigger. They usually come in in packs and you will pick them up on both rigs. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Not even close to enough IMO!

One of three browns we caught this day in 120-130’ on the bottom fishing lakers off sandy. Water was 39 degrees on the bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

One mans trash is another mans treasure! The lake trout hate will dwindle even more if the DEC continues to cut king stockings.

My point is in certain situations, brown (kings, lakers, steelhead, coho, atlantics) will leave the preferred water in certain conditions and move to where there is plentiful amounts of food. With the clear water and the calm sunny stretch we had two weeks ago, the browns may have moved off the shoreline to deeper water. I have found browns scattered over deeper water at this time of the year before feeding on gobies. In the spring of 2013, we found browns in 40-70 on the bottom at this time of the year off Sandy. The inside waters were clear and the browns were not around. I don't ever remember an April with this little colored water either. I do agree the stockers from last year seem to be MIA. We caught zero fishing browns last summer. I did watch the DEC stock browns near our pump station and the cormorants pounded that water for days after they were released. I hope we are wrong about the stockers and everything is ok. With the king stocking cuts, browns will be a staple for everyone to get through a season or two at some point.

Thank you guys for the kind words and the support! When you buy from one of my competitors, you are buying from guys that just make tackle. I fish with my product and only produce and carry stuff that produces. If anyone ever has any questions on lake trout tips and technique, feel free to ask. I'm always willing to help out. The only thing I will not give up are my weigh points off of Sandy and Ibay!
