Olcott & Newfane Visitor Guide

Every year people do things that are a little off the wall, odd - funny - or Oops - This is my newest creation of "those" crazy things that happen. I'm sure the area will grow into its own webpage - but here are the 2009 kickers so far.

  • Fred Lockwood doesn't fill in the Team Name line on his ProAm tournament entry form and ends up with a funny name for his team the rest of the season.
  • Paul Czarnecki and his Free Spirit team catch a Grand Prize King and aren't in the LOC derby. Holy Troll Paul, what were you thinking.

    Any Holy Trolls to share with us, send an email to Email me

  • When the wind is blowing from the North
    Wise fisherman do not go forth,
    When the wind is blowing from the south,
    it blows the hook in the fishes mouth,
    When the wind is from the east
    good fishing is the least,
    When the wind is from the west ,
    Then fishing is the best.


    HONORABLE MENTIONS
    There are so many outstanding fisherman in the Lake Ontario, Niagara River region. Many of these charter captains, their first mates, recreational fishermen & shop owners. are behind the fishing reports you see on olcottfishing.com.

    We speak to several of the charter guests and also get information from them. Photos are sent to me from several places, emails, drop offs and sometimes I get time in to take some good pics.

    These anglers are an awesome bunch and they work hard to give an honest fishing report whether the fishing is good or not.

    Thank you to all of these people who try hard to give you an up to date honest fishing report & so many others that have given reports. Check out the list below. These are people who have given me several reports for the last few years and I would like to thank them. I'll be adding names to the list as more people give me their fishing reports.

    Thank these people, when you see them, they keep olcottfishing going!

    Special Thanks to Bill Hilts, LOTSA, Niagara River Anglers, John Syracuse, Mark Daul & Rip & Roc for their hard work in keeping Lake Ontario a great place to fish and find info!


    If I forgot you - Make sure to let me know!

    Olcott Fireworks - July 3rd at 10 pm!            Pirate Festival July 10-12

    Good Morning, It is Tuesday, June 30 – the last day of June and not a lot of people fishing the lake the last couple of days. We have a few going out , picking up a king or two and some steelhead & cohos. That area between the red barn and about a mile west of it in 150-220 has been decent early in the morning and again in the afternoon. Blues and greens have been good colors for spoons and flies. There are temp changes are all over the map here . Out to 400-450 fow has been where most are headed right now – picking up some steelies and an occasional king. A few dragging the bottom looking for some big boys – but the bite has been off. The best bites have been in the early morning before 8 - then it seems to shut down for most I spoke with. They pick up again in the afternoon and early evening. Marking nice fish – just not getting that bites consistently.
    Fishing the harbor and piers has been really decent in Olcott – a lot of nice bass and pike. Most are using crawlers and minnows doing well – many using rubber worms, power baits working well.

    Congratulations to Daryl Knoerdel who won the Olcott Fishing Derby Salmon Division this week! Have a great day!

    Good Morning, It is Sunday June 28 and the weather looks great. Quite a few people fished yesterday – some had fish – some didn’t. The kid’s derby went over well and the Buffalo Sabres Alumni donated free fishing rods and reels to every child who fished. The kids did really well down there and had a great time. People fishing 18 mile, 12 mile and the piers in both Wilson and Olcott had better luck than the lake trollers yesterday.

    There are a few catching steelhead out past 300 fow deep water – using mixed combos of green, chartruese, blue, silver and oranges. Not much inside here yesterday reported – pickins were slim – that is of course unless you were shoreline fishing for bass – that bite was real good. I have promises today of some good fishing reports – so we will let you know . It’s a great day to just get some sun, troll around and hammer some kings. The Scotty Tournament is over in Canada this weekend – we wish everyone luck over there. I’ll keep you updated when I get some reports. Have a great day!

    It’s still FREE FISHING in New York today – Get out there and fish!

    Good Morning, It is Friday, June 26 and a beautiful day for fishing Lake Ontario. This weekend it is FREE FISHING DAYS in New York State (no license required) and the Olcott Kids Fishing Derby… EVERY kid gets a free rod and reel combo and hot dogs, drinks and chips at a picnic. 8 am start time – come on down and have a great time.

    There are awesome bass swimming all over Olcott Harbor and off the piers. Guys are out here fishing today doing great early this am until about 11 it slowed down – but that evening bite is also good. Ludingtons , green dolphins and cut bait is working super. Whatever is hitting that meat is extra big – heard a lot of stories already with the meat getting hit – but losing the fish. Out in about 220 fow has been good 120-140 down. There are kings here – but mostly steelhead and cohos right now and everything has been in the biting mood.

    Have a great day – More info shortly
    Good news update - people are catching fish out here in the lake. We finally nabbed some fishermen and received two phone calls from friends today fishing the lake. Down near the Somerset Power Plant, PA guys fishing was super on Ludingtons and NBK’s with a white on white doctor - in 80-220 fow. 2 days ago 30-65 down was working great on those steelhead. Yesterdays bite wasn’t so good. People did catch fish - but had to really hunt them down. Something really cool - phone call from Scott Palmer this morning and another from the Buffalo Guys , - the new Fish On herring strips are working - KINGS! Yeahoo - we got some of it in our shop to try out and were really excited because it has been two years with no meat - and that cut bait was always our favorite to fish with. We were a bit leary after some of the other products claimed to replace the cut bait - but nothing replaced the real deal - it just wasn’t working. This stuff is certified VHS free and is going to rock those big kings for derbies and those fishing charters. It's going to be a scorcher today. We will have more info shortly - remember it is the LOC SUMMER DERBY!!


    Good Morning - It is Wednesday, June 24th. There hasn't been anyone or many at all fishing. I haven't seen anyone to give a report - If you have a report - please go to our new message board and post your reports. There aren't too many fishing the lake - so fishing reports are lax - but wow there are some monster bass swimming around Olcott harbor - big fish - no fishermen. As soon as anyone gets out here fishing and gives me a report - I will post it here for you. The biggest excitement we had all week was Jimmy Gordon trying to get Hawg out for a day on the lake when his boat was overwhelmed by little plastic ducks. Yep, it was the annual duck race - and Captain Jim stayed to rescue the hundreds of plastic ducks with his net. Fishing Updates coming later for you. Have a great day!

    Good Morning – It is Tuesday, June 23 and a beautiful day for playing on the lake. There hasn’t been a lot of action in the way of people fishing this last week – the weather wasn’t so great and it now is looking like a good time to get the dust off those rods. A couple have been out in 250 to 400 + going for steelhead – some are trolling in closer. No real reports to share with you at the moment – and in all fairness keeping it honest is what I do best. I don’t have much of a lake report for you at the moment – June is tough to get people fishing – There is the summer LOC which should be helping get people fishing. The Olcott Fishing Derby is also on – we had no winners last week (well we had one whole entry). :D. I hope to be able to get you some reports later today. I guess I’ll have to go out there fishing myself! Don’t worry – I have some hired guns coming to town this week – and these guys are going to fish.
    .

    A couple of shore reports - There is some really good fishing in 18 mile right now, a mixed bag of fish in there – everything from bass & perch and even some sheephead. Minnows , crawlers and stickbaits working there. . Burt Dam still -decent place to fish right now. The June lull we get makes it difficult for me to get you an accurate report .

    If you have any fishing reports you would like to share – check out our brand new message board. It is spam free and always free! It is brand new for you to try. I am going to be working on the board to make it better than ever. Please support us by helping with fishing reports. Have a great day!
