Welcome to our all in one site for all your fishing, boating, weather and event needs for Western Lake Ontario and the surrounding areas.
MAY 2022 FISHING REPORT AND NEWS
SPRING LOC MAY 6 - 15TH WILSON HARBOR INVITATIONAL - MAY 14 & 15TH
Welcome to our website where we provide boating and fishing info and news for the western part of Lake Ontario and its tributaries in New York State. We share links to other fishing reports, weather,charters, lodging and important fishing and boating related websites. We are located in Olcott, New York a great place to hook up with several species of fish. Best known for the incredible chinook (king) salmon, steelhead and brown trout fishing, we also have plenty of other species to make it a fishing adventure worth checking out. Large and smallmouth bass, coho and atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, walleye, lake trout, perch, northern pike, carp and several others.
We are back in action here on the west end and ready to share all the information we can with you. It must have been odd looking at this website where I put the wrong year for the last four months. That is hopefully over and done with and we will try to give you the best info we can. It is May 1st and kicking off a very busy month of fishing tournaments and news. This coming Friday starts the Spring LOC with a $15,000 Grand Prize. The weather has been great for boating the last few days and fishing is really good. You don't have to travel far to get into the kings. Fishing by boat, it's inside water where they are. Everything has been happening on spoons in 40 to 80 fow it seems. There isn't one hot spot unless you are at the Niagara Bar which has some good salmon fishing currently. All the favorite inside spots seem to be bringing in some nice spring fish. Kings, cohos and lakers are most of the action. The harbor is still being worked on in Olcott and fishing is unpredictable currently. A lot of fish moved off to quieter waters for the time being, but the harbor is sure looking good with plenty of new docks, a breakwall and more. Burt Dam has some perch and rainbows biting. Shoreline fishing has musky hanging out on the ledges. Haven't heard too much else the last few days. Quite a few people are looking for pike and we haven't found them yet. Will be trying to keep this updated every couple days. Have a great day.
