The rain has finally come!! With the day of rain we got last Wednesday, today and the forecasted rain for the rest of this week, the run is FINALLY in full swing. Good numbers of salmon are pushing their way through the Lake Ontario tributaries with the browns slowly trickling in as well. Despite there being fair numbers of fish at this point, most of them are still on the kamikaze mission upstream and not stopping for anything. This can make hooking one a trick. Some of the keys are finding a fish that seems to be less in the mood to move. These are the fish that will typically take a well presented fly. Productive flies have been earth tone color streamers with hot spots (chartreuse and flame orange) and otter eggs. The 8mm otter eggs have been producing both salmon and brown trout. The salmon have liked the "ruby" color where the browns have not really had much of a preference. The Lake Erie tributaries are coming along as well. Steelhead are making their way into the streams as a snails pace however this rain will move things along. Stay tuned for more updates to come on the Erie trib fishing!
