Not too many people have made it out on the big lake this week, focusing more on the tributaries. One of the busiest spots will be the St. Mary’s Archers Club Catch and Release Tournament Oct. 16-18 on the Oak Orchard River. Ron Bierstine with Oak Orchard Tackle and Lodge reports that any significant rain should bump upriver flows and pull in more fish. It also should add some color to the water, which would be a good thing. It’s been a slow migration to date. There are a fair number of kings at the dam in Waterport. The same can be said for Burt Dam and 18 Mile Creek, according to Karen Evarts at the Boat Doctors in Olcott. There are mixed reports from anglers. Pier action has been slow. Some anglers with small boats are working the creek in some of the deeper holes. The dam has a good mix of fish but getting them to hit with all the pressure has been tough. With rain, seek streams away from the high-pressure areas for a mix of trout and salmon.
