Hookups here are coming on egg sacks or big-profile jigs or flies. Drifts or swings will need to be deep and slowed down for best chances.
Brown trout are the talk across the area.
The lower river here is loaded with brown trout and boat anglers report excellent catches in all drifts.
Lake trout, brown trout, and walleye reportedly were all available here on shiners fished off 3-way rigs using a 1-ounce pencil lead.
Drifting opportunities are real good up and down the river course and some good steelhead have been hooked up by anglers plying the higher water.
Steelhead are now the main species in this river, with a few brown trout being caught. Try using eggs, beads, pink worms, or a fly in the river.
Spring brings mixed opportunities. Here’s a look at the New York fishing and hunting report on March 12, 2025.
The weather is starting to wake up and so are the fish.
Look for good drifting chances up and down the water course here now when flows are more drift-and-swing friendly and before any high water may return.
