Wednesday, October 22 - We’ve had some more rain and the temperature is cooler which brought in plenty more fish. Fishing the piers and in the harbor has still been a decent option. We are not too certain about today since the weather is kind of windy and colder, but I’d guess it’s a good place to try if you want to catch a big one before they get to the dam. Eighteen Mile has been holding it’s own now. I’ll find out more about Eighteen Mile later today from the boat ppl. Fishermen’s Park is loaded with brown trout. Kings aren’t so plentiful yet, but those browns sure are. In the Eighteen it’s been a skein bite.. A few atlantic’s have been caught in the pier heads. Browns are liking whites and greens/chartreuse this week at Burt, Johnson Creek got some water and fish. Have fun no matter what you are doing today.
Friday, October 17 - It looks like fall has finally arrived at our end of the world. Temps are much colder and jumped into the 30's early morning. Fishermens' Park is jamming and fish are still coming in at the piers in Olcott. Now, I can't actually tell you how smoking good it is off the piers yet today, because it is still too early. The reports need to be daily now in order for them to be accurate. A few guys went to the piers today because there are way too many people jamming at the dam. There are mostly browns at the dam right now. There are a few cohos, a few kings and scattered steelhead according to the masses. We might have cooler temps, but we do not have the rain. We got about a tablespoon of rain so far today.
There are kings scattered in the holes in Eighteen Mile. They just aren't as easy to catch. They did get more kings at the dam. J13's, Spinners, Rat-L-Traps, glow spoons are pier choices. Harbor is still crawlers, spoons, eggs, skein and soft baits. The dam is egg sacs, jigs, soft waits, beads, flies, etc. It's shooting for the smaller stuff now. Break out those winter clothes. It's coming. Have a great day.
Monday, October 13th - Temps just started cooling off and there is a slight flow going on here in Olcott. Every story is mixed and it is hard to give genuine accurate information. It's kind of a shot in the dark, on again off again, ready for action scenario. Browns are jumping in the pier heads and the harbor. Eighteen mile holes are the best bet as the hot action should pick up better this week. There are fish down at Fishermen's park . It is mostly browns and the bite is like an on/off switch. There are some kings and steelhead, but lockjaw has been keeping it a little more like fishing.
It is a little difficult to give exact info yet due to the variety of reports the last couple of days. It will happen. Lake fishing is still decent. Northeast wind is making some difference. We should know more tomorrow. Have a great day.
