Congrats! Saw you out there as I drove past you last night on the road. Props for releasing the big walleye. I'm giving Otisco a break tonight and heading to Owasco, good luck out there

Hey guys,

Me and a buddy are looking to hit Owasco late this afternoon near the outlet. Never fished Owasco before, but we are hoping to get into some pike and or bass. We will be near the outlet, launching at Emerson park. What's usually caught in this section of the lake?

Thanks

Wow! Must've been quite the sizeable tiger to go for that!

Great fish, glad to hear the big pike was released. Keep it up!

I had a baseball game scheduled for today so I couldn't make it out on the lake. Drove past though and saw a lot of boats, so I'm excited to hear the results! Good luck to everyone, make sure you all share your results as I'm itching to get out on Otisco in my boat.

Beautiful fish! Glad to hear you had a fun outing. I just got in from fishing by the dam on shore and only managed a bullhead and some sunfish...was hoping for some crappie. Nevertheless, always nice to be on the lake

Nice! I drove by the lake earlier and saw your boat, didn't know it was you at the time

Reelfanatic, I'm honestly not the one to ask for advice for trout as they are not my forte, as I mainly just cast for bass and muskies. Wish I could help but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to trolling, especially for trout. I have seen a few boats out there trolling, but not too many. A few here and there. Mainly just seen bass boats and guys fishing for panfish. The guys I have seen trolling have been out in the middle and by the guard rails near the marina. I was going to go fish from the shore today but opted to go to Onondaga lake because it was packed. I take that as a good sign that the general bite is picking up on Otisco. I'll be out at the dam fishing from shore tomorrow, hopefully can get into some perch and crappie. Keep us posted with how you do, and good luck!

Thanks Alex! And Sounds good Justin. I saw a couple bass boats out today, plus a few people just fishing with bobbers and such, but I got there pretty late, around 4

Thanks for the welcoming guys! Old Man, if I'm around that week I would be interested for sure! I gotta get a couple solid outings in on Otisco (unlike today) though first [emoji1]

Hey guys, I'm new here. My name is Tyler and I frequently fish Otisco. I just posted a little introduction/about me post in the Introduce Yourself section, so I won't bore you about all that here too.

Today we put the boat in just for an hour or so on Otisco and got everything running again, and to check the water temps. North End was around 50-51 while South end was around 47-49. Didn't catch anything today, but didn't fish too much. Vegetation is pretty minimal still, although there are a few algae blooms clumped around down by the dam. Looks like the weeds are starting to pop up off the bottom. Docks are just starting to be put in too (seems kinda late).

Hopefully it will be a good year for big bass and tigers in Otisco! Feeling pretty optimistic about this season.

See you guys out there, hopefully with better results than I got today!

Hey guys, I'm a new member here and would like to quickly introduce myself. My name is Tyler, and I mainly fish Otisco Lake for tigers and bass, but also ice fish there. I also fish in Canada in the summer for bass, pike, and walleye. I'm strictly catch and release, unless it's a rare occasion that I keep some panfish or get a couple small 20-25" pike for the table. I'm big into conservation and releasing big fish, and I think that that is something that needs to be practiced by anglers.

I look forward getting to know the LOU community, and hope to see you out on the lake!

Tight lines,

Tyler

PS: here are a few pics from this past summer of some of the better ones I got between Otisco and Canada.
