Ontario salmon/trout fishing

[Ty-Lure]

Has anyone been out for steelhead lately?

Want to go for browns along the shore line if the weather warms up & the wind stops.

Lineman,...I had the same thought for going out of Olcott, but the weather does'nt look very promising. I can deal with the cold but that wind is a killer unless its a south wind. Every time I get pumped about getting the boat out, mother nature decides to torture me. Looks like I'll be back in the streams or lower river on shore for a while longer.

Had cabin fever so I hit Olcott pier again today. Muddy water, northwest wind, not much sun, "no fish". Had to check out the new steelhead rod though, and my spoons needed a washing. A few other folks out there, but I did'nt see anyone bend a rod. Seen a pic of a nice brown (16lb.) that a guy got off the dock right at the Olcott boat launch a couple days ago. I think as soon as the water clears up a bit the bite should be good.

This Brown was caught off the pier on Easter!!! I know the guy and it is a real pic. He released it too! 36"long-Did'nt have scale to get weight but it had to be at least 25#. Hope the pic comes out.

Sorry.... I meant to say, at least 20#

That's a bruiser of a fish. Considering that the state record is 33 lbs 2oz. And 38inches long. I'd say ur 25# guesstimate is closer.
