Spring LOC Derby Starts May 2. April Fishing Conditions Perfect! Capt. Carol with a 4 lb., 2-year old brown caught on 4/17/08. Yum, yum! April Fishing Conditions Perfect! We predicted that heavy winter precipitation would create high water in the Oswego River and great spring fishing conditions around Oswego Harbor and that's exactly what happened. Surface water temperature as high as 48 degrees on Thurs., April 17, plus colored water all the way east to Four Mile Point has the browns, cohos and rainbows revved up and hammering spoons, stickbaits, and JitterFlies. Two-year old browns are looking good, with the larger fish already up to 4 lbs. Ditto for spring silvers(cohos). The rainbows and browns were all feeding on gobies. Kiro Kin Megabaits, black/silver Jitterflies, Black/silver Rapalas, and lemon/lime Flutterdevles all produced in 8 - 20 feet of water east of the harbor. Don't Forget our $1,000 Spring Derby!

A lot of copper "experts" have been fishing copper for 2-4 years, or less. We've been fishing it since 1967, and know what you need.

We usually don't start catching major numbers of kings offshore in 100 fow or more until after May, 1. A few April kings always show up in shallow water, including a 15 pounder boated by Todd Rogers and his crew east of Oswego Harbor in 6' of water on 4/16/07. Way to go, Todd and crew!
