Some anglers are making drifts and swings for spawning fish and having success by being patient in the fast-water gravel stretches here.

Trout opener nears as anglers await April 1. Here’s a look at the New York fishing report on March 27, 2025.

For now, there’s overall light to moderate fishing pressure in the Oak, with good action through the watercourse.

Anglers in these areas reported solid steelhead fishing with some brown trout over the past week.

Anglers should find fish in the pools or at the dam and also staged around or on gravel spots here.

Brown trout are typically active in the Lake Ontario nearshore as soon as boats can hit the water in spring.

Spring is on the horizon and the fishing that comes with it. Here’s a look at the New York fishing and hunting report on March 13, 2025.

Anglers are into some steelhead action and fresh fish are being hooked up.

Steelhead are being caught in decent numbers here.
