Good Morning, It is Wednesday, September 1st and just a week away from school starting for most people here. The weather is just awesome. It is hot and today is a cooker. I would enjoy the next couple of days as much as possible due to some unpredictable weather coming our way. With hurricane Earl blasting through the Atlantic and a cold front coming in from the west, the marine forecast for the weekend isn’t looking so fine. That could be good news for Richard Priest of Blossburg, Pennsylvania who reeled in a 39.08 pound king on Big Fatty this last weekend. (see pics on main site). Big Fatty also won the salmon division in the Olcott Weekly. Get those boats going the next couple of days because we all know what the marine forecast means.

Fishing is about to change this weekend as the lake is most likely going to roll over. If you are fishing today through Friday, they have been doing well offshore in 450-500 fow on steelhead. Bright colors, chartruese, yellows and oranges have been working great out there. Closer to shore, many starting a north south troll in 60 fow near the red barn and working out to 260 and back catching some nice kings on cut bait, flies and spoons in green and white and Spin Doctors. Now, rumor has it that fishing the trench down at the Niagara bar is giving up those really big kings on flies, cut bait and Spin Doctors. Careful not to lose your stuff there with those drops. Most all are finding temp 100 feet down. Those 74-77 degree lake temps have been heating things up if you live by the lake. Temps have been much hotter than they are a few miles inland.

You might find that fishing off the piers in Olcott or Wilson is pretty decent the next couple of days as the fish know the weather coming better than we do. The weather is always a prediction and is often wrong although Hurricane Earl might give up some of his winds to the waters in our area, making a bbq more fun than trolling. Good luck to all fishing and have a great day!
