Fishing has picked up this week with salmon beginning to stage, and good bass and walleye action.

Salmon and trout are beginning to stage close to the mouths of tributaries and walleye action remains consistent.

The kings are staging closer to shore on Lake Ontario, while in the bays, largemouth are hitting along weedlines and points, and over in the river, walleyes and bass are hitting stickbaits.

Salmon have started moving into the shallow water; staging for the fall run, largemouth bass are grabbing top water baits and walleye are hitting paddletails in the dark.

With Lake Ontario Counties Fall Trout and Salmon derby and the big money LOC Fall Derby underway, salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and bass are hitting well.

Action has been good for bass and walleye are being caught regularly during early morning and evening hours.

The Niagara River is fishing well with smallmouth bass walleye actively feeding, while on Lake Ontario, the weather has had the fish all spread out and on the move; the bite has been good but you must work for them.
