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 2024


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.



Welcome to olcottfishing.com. We hope to keep up with the reports often this season. May is here and fishing is hot. You just can't beat those spring kings. The weather has been creating some bouncy days; but the days they got out there, everyone limited in the first couple hours. Well, we did see a couple of guys that said they only caught 2 or 3. Fishing from Olcott to Niagara Bar has been the ticket in the first 100 fow. Fishing anywhere from 25 down to "all the way down" is the word. Salmon, lake trout, cohos, browns are all being caught.

Spoons are the ticket, a few flies - but mostly the peanut size for cohos and orange and pink are their favorite right now. As far as kings - use your best ones in black, greens, orange, silver and whites. The UV shiny tape on the spoons is hot right now.

It's derby/tournament month and things are starting to heat up already.

The LOC Spring Derby starts Friday, May 3rd. Then there is the Wilson Harbor Invitational following closely.The 1K a Day, The Salmon Slam, the ProAm and more. We have a few others to post, so bear with us. Happy Day whatever you are doing and hopefully it is fishing.
