Joined Dan at Olcott bright and early on Monday.
The place was packed and the fishing was mediocre at best. Hooked a big brown at first light, but lost him due to a crossed line. The same guy also kept a foul hooked fish even after 2 people advised him it was fouled. Did manage a nice brown (pretty-not huge) and this might have been the same fish.
Went up the creek and found a huge pod of kings. After catching 5 or so I called it a day.
Went to 16 and got the prime spot there at the dam. Hooked 0, saw 0 caught. A guy crossed me, then crossed me again, and he left. He approached me at the car when I was leaving and apologized. I told him that is all part of steelhead fishing, but I really appreciated the gesture. As the guy at Olcott damaged my picture of Great Lakes fishing, the guy at 16 kinda made things right.
The report from 20 Mile was bad.
Hit Chautauqua Creek in NY. Perfect water, but so packed with people fishing was nearly impossible.
Can’t wait to get to the club.
