OCTOBER 2018 FISHING REPORT & NEWS
|
Saturday, October 13 - It was 42 degrees and raining in Olcott this morning. You would think that there was a good concert down at Fisherman's Park this morning, as the line of cars waiting to get in was hefty according to a few people. It wasn't as busy as most thought it would be though. After sitting in their cars for 3 hours waiting for daylight, several people said the parking lot is half full. Some returned from fishing there this morning and say they are going to Oak Orchard where apparently it is the hottest. Yesterday some said the dam wasn't kicking up much action yet; others say they were catching two or three fish. It is a "maybe" today for my report. Put on those waders and slide on down the hill there and check it out. Egg sacs and skein, Oranges and reds are hot all over the place. The salmon run has not started yet, but it is coming any time. Fishing by boat in Eighteen Mile is really good. Skein, wax worms and jigging spikes are good hitters. People that want to avoid the crowds are enjoying some good fishing in the harbor. There are some good salmon holes in there that are great for a good day fishing. There are some great charters running up the Lower Niagara. We have guides for Eighteen Mile if you don't have a boat. Also, the pier heads in Wilson have been productive, when you could get out there this week. Some have been checking that out, looking for some browns. There are still a lot heading down to Johnson Creek and Oak Orchard this weekend where fishing has been hot. We will keep you updated. Have fun.
Friday, October 12 - The cold air and current has arrived and it looks like prime fishing weather. Although we don't know exactly how good this morning is - that weather is here and I am thinking it is time for some great fishing.
Last year it was October 15th when it started to rock heavy duty. With all this wind and cooler air, the lake flipped and they should be biting good today. We don't know details yet, but I will be keeping you posted throughout the days. Have a good one.
