trashed silver gator (I think) spin doc with crinkle green atomik has been best for me this year. double crush glow spin doc w/ stud/glow stud atomiks as well. Saturday will be first day out for me in over a week.

Olcot July 4th Happy 4th of july! Started east of Olcott in 160 FOW slowly trolled towards the boats west of break wall. Started catching once we hit about 130 FOW just west of the knot of boats. Similar to yesterday if we marked bait we were catching fish. 5 for 8 with a few empty releases peppered in. Down temps varied quite a bit. Lost a beautiful steelhead as my buddy bonked it in the head with the net got the lure caught and that is all she wrote. All 5 that we boated were kings and came on riggers with NBK spoon and green flies.

Thanks PAP performed great again today, and yes it was in use from about 2005/6 ish to 2010 then it took a 6 year vacation in the tackle box and is now back for more.

olcott Morning Bite 7-2 fished east and in front of olcott anywhere between 120 and 240 FOW spread down 50 to 100 FOW almost everytime we marked bait we were catching fish. Most popular was atomic green glow fly with a green spin doctor from days of old. 2nd was glow frog on lead core off boards. 5 for 8 including a lost monster thx to hardware issue with brand new okuma magda 45.... if you let go of reel it spins in reverse under heavy load. Going to stick to my penns whenever I can

Fishing With Dad My middle son was graduating and my Mother and Father were traveling here from Seattle to attend graduation ceremony and party. My dad is a great guy, a long time boat owner and was an avid fisherman back in the day. Me being without a boat for 5 years I picked one up this spring. This was sort of a special trip for my dad as it was the 1st time he has traveled here since having a stroke in July 2016. Post stroke he is a bit more child like, has short term memory loss, problem solving issues and poor impulse control. In addition he now walks with a cane and has various left side deficits. A few months back while talking on the phone he explained to me that I may have to help him reel in any fish when we go out as he is not sure if he can hold a pole with his left hand. Unfortunately my boat being a 19 footer I had to tell him that I can't take him fishing which clearly upset him. A few days later it hit me that I should find out if a charter can help. I found a charter that was able to accommodate for his mobility issues as well as provide a fishing chair with a gimbal mount to help hold the rod. So 6AM Monday morning we boarded Reel Excitement with Captain Bob Songin. We had an awesome view with many waterspouts to the north and Captain Bob was able to put us on the fish. My dad was able to see his first waterspout in person as well as catch his first lake trout ever. Huge Thank You to Bob Songin for a very special fishing trip!

Waterspouts out of oak orchard monday the 26th Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Ouch, people have similar reactions to brown recluse spider bites, sounds terrible. Let me know how spray works. I agree about taking serious, my wife's a nurse she would lose her mind if I didn't. I will master bite prevention best I can because in my opinion itching constantly is up there with real pain Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I bought some on amazon, the biting fly formula. Thank You all for the suggestions. I wont be out until Monday and that will be out of the Oak with Reel Excitement... Cant wait

My boat is open bow, maybe put it under my console but it seems like the flies know to bite when I am catching or rigging. After all this itching it is long pants for me no matter the temp

Agree ifishy, my wife is a nurse and will not let this go. Pic is from this afternoon.... still itching bad right now from saturday's bites and deepwoods off is like an attractant.

Thank You, just ordered a bottle.... still going to wear long pants. It is really odd, when I was fishing on Lake Ontario 6 years ago I dont recall having too much of an issue, certainly not the allergy.... the allergy is a game changer and not for the better, I am miserable.

Stable Fly Bites I am allergic to them.... 50% will actually blister then pop and they itch a lot. Benadryl cream, pills and cortisone cream are only way I can function and this goes on for 3 to 5 days after bites. I will be wearing thick socks and pants from here on out. My wife is worried that my allergy could result in anaphylaxis when I am out on the lake. Stashing a bottle of benadryl in boat at her suggestion just wondering has anyone else had this reaction? If so how do you treat?

I have 2 12.5 pounders purchased from Troutman and they work great. Best of luck finding good lead, will keep my eyes open.

I run regular planer boards, they are a must early on Ontario or if you get out in Erie for Walleye. I made my boards with plans from this site. If I had to do over (this winter) I will make a pair with 1x8 instead of 1x6 boards. You need a miter saw, drill, couple of paint brushes and some patience as it takes many coats of paint. Inline boards are not so great IMOP. Basically with a good bow mounted mast, 2 good boards you can run 4, possibly 6 more dipsy, wire or leadcore lines. I made pretty close to the plans in the image but cut compound at 40 (saw only goes to 45) and I will go with 30 degree on my next boards per word doc instructions. Planers.doc

Olcott Saturday Evening Had the wife, daughter and dog out from 4 to 8. Started just west of Olcott in 300 FOW marking fish in top 50 FOW. Didnt even have all the poles in the water and I lost a decent but foul tail hooked laker right behind the boat. Daughter took a 6 lb king on drunken waddler and I landed another 6 ish pound king on NBK. 2 for 3 plus a shaker all on spoons. Nothing on flies. Speaking of flies, my poor dog was victimized by biting flies.
