King Salmon are finally showing up along the eastern shoreline of Lake Ontario. The weekend was pretty much a bust with high winds and cold temps, but a few that did get out, found some fish.
Local charter captains are finding the salmon from 90 to 150 feet down oven 150 to 300 feet. Start early with white e-chips and white flies and then switch to green and chrome echips or Spin Drs and green atomik-flies flies as the sun gets higher in the sky.
There has been some bass and northern pike action on Sandy pond and Lakeview Marsh, especially along the weed lines. Cast spinnerbaits, rubberworms, small crankbaits and of course don't forget the jitterbugs and buzzbaits for some hot top water action.
