I am going this weekend to Olcott. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who feels like Mid-July thru Mid-August is a tough time to catch fish on the western basin. That time period is prime time for Salmon much like May and June is our prime time for suspended walleye. If you're already geared up for walleye trolling, all you need in addition to what you probably have is a pair of downriggers, a speed/temp probe, and maybe a couple high capacity reels for copper or leadcore line and some different terminal tackle. The best part is when these fish hit, there is no question whether you got a bite. No 'reading the Rod tips' required. The Rod explodes!
