Oswego River report:

 

Oswego River:

 

The rainfall we have received in the last couple of days has definitely affected the river flow. This morning it is running at 12,500 cfs. With this flow, fishing some areas of the river is difficult so use caution. The weather is expected to slowly clear with Saturday and Sunday predicted to be nice fall days. Early in the week fish seemed to be active in the harbor area and with the increased water flow in the river, a good number of fish are expected to push up through the river. Anglers are finding salmon, steelhead and an occasional brown trout. Suggested baits are skein, deep diving thundersticks, egg sacs, beads, and marabou jigs.
