Fishing Update Thursday, March 11, 2010
Streams; Maxwell and the other streams in the county are producing some beautiful steelhead. The colors are out of this world. Fish the usual…egg sacs and any imitation.
Bear Creek has a small area for fishing, but the steelies are there.
Tuesday of this week there were a few anglers basking in the sun while hauling in some nice steelhead. They were 6 to 8 pounds, and caught with egg sacks.
Bays; Ice fishing is over for the season. If you do attempt to do some last minute fishing be sure you know where you are…the 10 inches of last week is now down to a soft 8 inches. If rain comes this weekend it will be all over for 2010.
The Sodus Point Lodge had a fantastic tournament last weekend with 138 anglers entered. The ice was about 15 inches thick, and the event went –off without any hitches.
A nice 12 pound pike came from Leroy Island, and a Williamson angler collected the $500 first prize.
The charter captains are preparing for another fantastic season on Lake Ontario. Let’s hope the browns are waiting!!
The Hamburg Sport Show is this weekend at the Erie County Fairgrounds. This is a great show…stop out and visit the Lake Ontario booth.
