AUGUST 2025
Sunday, August 31st - The weather is super again today and there is a lot going on in Olcott. The Jazz Sea Festival is on with live music and vendors until 7 pm today. Fishing changed up some just since yesterday. They had been getting browns off the piers , but that seems to have stopped and pier fishing slowed down for the moment. It probably has for the week as temps will be warmer now. Fishing in Olcott harbor was super this morning with big perch being caught on jigs and worms.
Fishing the lake has seen it's share of I don't know what to tell you type of info. Some say the Niagara bar for salmon and steelhead. Some say 80 to 160 fow for kings and browns. Offshore for steelhead. It's still a big mix of meat, spoons and flies. It seems more difficult today for trolling as I only saw one captain and he didn't have a great day today. It was a little tough. We did see a few fish meet the scale today, but only one made the leaderboard. The rest were not big enough. That goes for reasoning why I posted another funny on our big sign out front. It is a perfect weather weekend to enjoy and fishing is bound to pick right back up. People will be less secretive when the tournament is over. Have a great day and an excellent Labor Day.
Saturday, August 30th - The weather is perfect for fishing today and supposed to stay that way all weekend. It is the final days of the Fall LOC. The big Olcott Car Show is today and there has been some amazing vehicles driving by this morning. It is from 11 to 4:30 today if you are in town.
Temps are much cooler now and after the windy days we have had, I would say those fish are much closer to shore now. Browns and pike are being caught off the piers. Perch, bluegill, and some silver bass in the harbor here. It's a great weekend to enjoy Olcott. I'll update fishing report later today.
