  1. Tough evening on the water, and a bit windy when we first got out. 8-20 ftw. Headed west, we marked fish and had one release. Made 4 passes around and by the inlet marking tons of fish but had no takers. At this point it was 745pm and very calm, no luck in the lake we pulled everything in and headed back. No other boats around or Fishermen on the piers we decided to try our last hope, run 2 lines through the inlet in hopes not to get our first skunk of the season. Left one planer out 9 feet, and ran a blue/silver challenger 80 ft back and straight lined a crocodile 50 ft back. Boom first steelhead of the season, and that was it. 6th trip out this season and found them each time. 95f9083c23157609016144e468f76926.jpg6d45f5057348af1ea3c86c82bb477a29.jpg

  2. Left launch at 530pm headed east, water quickly declinined in temperature so we decided to head west and hug the shore 8 to 12 ftw. The theme was Green, anything green was taking fish, stick and spoons. No action on the riggers. Green spotted challenger, silver chartreuse spoon, green chartreuse spoon, and had one on silver and blue spoon. Largest fish came in on chartreuse and green spoon. We we're on land by 730pm and went 5 for 6. 57cf1a7fad3e33685772dab308b12d83.jpg

  3. I was on the other 17 foot boat (2 guys) that was out that morning, we where down by holt rd when it switched. Scariest 45 minute boat ride back ever. The guy that was out solo ditched up 4 mile creek next to hedges. 34 degree air, and 39 degree water, not a good mix to be soaked to the bone in. We went 3 for 4 from 7-9 and also hooked up as the hail came down trying to get lines in.

  4. First of all, welcome! Often times the shore fishing reports are under the tributary section. Definately check out your local tackle shop and ask for the latest reports. You will want to pick up blue and silver cleos (ask what other local colors) in two fifth size and some good ball bearing swivels. Google fishing access spots, in particular piers. Both Wilson and Olcott are terrific spots. The Niagara river is outstanding and overwhelming at the same time. Look into Artpark in Lewiston and try for monster carp with corn. P.m. me any time if you head near Rochester, or need advice. Good luck and welcome to the best fishing forum anywhere!

    How about the Rochester piers?? Any luck on them during the evening? I've been out trolling during then with good success but haven't tried from shore yet.

  5. I was wondering about this myself because I'm looking at pictures throughout the years and EVERY fish has its adipose. Personally I think its more the adipose size to fish size ratio. If you catch a 10lb'er with a little baby adipose fin...probably a hatchery fish. I have done no research on this so correct me if I'm wrong, but EVERY fish I catch still has its adipose.

    Ditto
  6. Thank you very much for the help and info! Is it more rare to catch hatchery fish? It seems like I'm only catching wild trout, not that it's a bad thing!!

  7. I see people talking all the time about the two but I don't personally know the difference. Maybe someone more experienced can help me out. I've included a couple of Brown's from the past few months..
