  1. Yes there are also lake trout in there. And though they have seemed to be few and far between as of recent years the brown trout in the lake have reached great size if you can hook into one. Believe it or not owasco once boasted the state record for brown trout, a 21lb 5oz brown caught in may of 1957. And just a couple years ago one weighing 22lb 8oz was caught there on Memorial Day

  2. Started trolling early on around 545 am or so. Ran 3 rigger lines near bottom with spoons, two wire divers, a 10 color leadcore rig on a board and a 300' copper down the chute. We went 12/13 on lake trout ranging all from 21"-29" and then one real small shaker. Marked a lot of bait up high (40ft from surface) but it didn't seem as if there were many fish in it considering all the fish we caught were in the bottom 30 ft of the water column. All fish caught on spoons and 2 were caught on a flasher/fly rigpost-154277-14055448544915_thumb.jpgpost-154277-1405544865074_thumb.jpgpost-154277-14055448856713_thumb.jpg

  3. Yes I noticed the morning bite was quick and ended around 745 or so then picked back up around 9am for about a half hour. The season can be frustrating particularly because of the fleas that accumulate on your line. I have found the using a very thick (At least 30lb test) monofilament on the downrigger rods has seemed to keep them off rather well. Then just leader down to your normal leader you would use. I like plunge fluorocarbon 10lb test

  4. Fished both morning and afternoon on owasco and marked a lot of bait high in the water column and fished the east side in 120 FOW or so. Took 7 lakers in the morning with one nice one post-154277-14050046240758_thumb.jpgpost-154277-14050046454107_thumb.jpgpost-154277-14050046711064_thumb.jpgmeasuring 31" and the evening produced 4 more lakers and a small rainbow. Bright colored spoons did the trick. 300' copper rig produced half of the fish caught

  5. When I'm trolling on owasco I usually run the Michigan stinger spoons primarily as I have found those to work best for me. The scorpion size which is their smallest size has produced over the years on the riggers while the normal standard stingers (3 3/4) have worked well on all other trolling applications I use such as leadcore, dipsy divers and copper line. Hot colors on this lake are greens and purples for me

  6. Tried the evening run again with much success. All fish were caught on spoons off the downriggers, leadcore and dipsies. Managed to boat 6 lakers, a smallmouth (not too sure why he was in 80FOW) and a nice brown measuring just under 27"post-154277-14048301708986_thumb.jpg

  7. Honestly guys, some of the biggest walleyes I've taken from this lake were suspended over deep water and I caught them while targeting lake trout and rainbows. Hey.... The walleye like to feed on the alewives too! Also had some great catches at night as well

  8. Caught it just south of Burtis point on the lakes east side running small crankbaits trying to imitate the alewives. A slow steady retrieve with a snapping action every few minutes or so seemed to do it for me. Caught 3 northerns as well.... Walleye are few and far between in this lake but all the ones in there seem to be slobs post-154277-14030107236296_thumb.jpgpost-154277-14030107581576_thumb.jpgpost-154277-14030108244325_thumb.jpg
