The fishing for  Perch  from the Genesee River piers has been very good, anglers are catching them with minnows, people are just starting to catch sheephead from the piers also. Smallmouth Bass are biting in Long Pond and Cranberry Pond on leaches, crayfish and white jig heads with white mister twister tails.

Salmon & Trout fishing continues to be good in the lake off of Rochester and Irondequoit Bay, Brown trout in 25 to 40 foot of water, Lake Trout in good numbers out deep in 100 to 150 ft of water, a few salmon are also being caught. A 24 lb 10 oz Salmon was weighed in on June 18 for the  summer LOC derby  and is currently in first place.

The fishery has been very good to us on the front side of the season, the weather a different story.  April right off the bat served up some of the best Brown Trout fishing ever. Great shoreline fishing both East and West of the Genesee produced a mixed bags of Browns, Coho’s and Steelhead.  This inshore fishery carried later than normal into and through the month of May and transitioned later in the month to an offshore Steelhead bite as well with some Kings showing up.  Early June we still had a good inshore fishery with Browns and offshore surface breaks providing anglers with good Steelhead, Coho and Laker top water action. As usual at some point in June we go through a transition period as the surface temps push down setting up a thermocline and the fish are scattered as they try to find their comfort zone.   Stay tuned for more updates.

Most of the charter fleet is launched back in the water for the season.  The reports so far out of Rochester have reflected great catches of brown trout and coho salmon.
