Monday, June 1 - It is a busy week in Olcott and Wilson with tournaments. There is not a lot of action in our local businesses, but there sure is with boat traffic. Fishing is still really good for the kickoff to June. Kings, cohos, lakers and some steelhead in the mix. Anywhere from 50 to 400 fow seems to be at play but we can't divulge too much for you since it is a big money week. The Proam has over 50 boats this year and that is this coming weekend. The Big Fish Friday "Don Johannes memorial" changed to Thursday for a few years. Now it is changed to Wednesday this year due to the Sabres tournament happening Thursday. The Skip Hartman Memorial Niagara Proam is Friday and Saturday with a Sunday blow day. Captains meeting is Thursday evening after the Sabres tournament.
It really isn't a particular spoon, flasher , fly, meat rig that is the killer this week. White, glow, rv uv is the hot thing right now. It's not a good time to give exacts but fish are from the close top to 140 down and people are trying it everywhere. Just know it is still good and have a lot of fun.
TIP: If you are planning on visiting the area this year, BOOK EARLY! There is a new AI plant being built in Somerset and the workers need housing. Shop around and you will find something.
