Recommended Posts

This report courtesy of the Oswego County Department of Community Development, Tourism and Planning. This report was written on August 9, 2018.

 

Lake Ontario report:

 

Anglers are continuing to find good fishing on the lake. Kings and a few trout have been active in a range of water depths from 100 to 500 feet. Just this week a couple of nice 30+ pound salmon have been reported. Cut-bait, flashers and flies, and spoons have been working well.

 

According to Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing:

 

A big sloppy northwest chop plagued us throughout the day making conditions less than pleasant. The fish still wanted to chew and all our clients were very happy.

 

Oswego River report:

 

The water level had been running between 1,000-2,000cfs over the last couple of days. Due to some rainfall in the region, the flow reached over 3,000cfs early today but is down to 2,610cfs late this morning. Anglers are finding a few walleye, bass, sheepshead and a catfish or two along the river.

 

Notice: The bridge to Leto Island is closed, and there are mandatory personal flotation device (PFD) zones on the river. For more information, view the Brookfield Varick Fish Safely Brochure below. The Oswego Fire Department offers loaner life jackets at no charge through its “Loaner for Life” program. For more information contact the fire station, 35 E. Cayuga St., at 315-343-2161.
