A quick trip to the Oswego River over the weekend was a moderately successful venture.  Tough low water conditions limited access to most of the hot spots but we managed to boat five kings.  The power company shut the water off on Friday dropping the water from 5000 to 1300 CFS making things tough.  Had a number of swings and misses so the fish are there you just have to put the time in. 

I don't see anyone on the wall behind you,how was the crowds?

Sweet !!!
I bet it was a blast !!
Loved fishing the OZ at the motels in Feb , Daytona 500 & steamers at night .
Good job Gerry .

 I went there today to check things out. Saw a few fish jumping, but nothing else going on. No hook ups seen I walked up and down from the dam to the end of the wall several times.
 

PA-A lot of wall and ledge lizards when we got into town late Saturday afternoon.  Saw a number of fish foul hooked along the wall at Linear Park on both Saturday and Sunday.  A couple of guys who fished mid river along the ledge and the wall also fouled a few fish.  Of the three drift boats working the pool outside the release chambers we did extremely well.  I think the other boats had 1 maybe 2 fish but that's about it.  We managed to hook fish in each of the four locations we anchored but you really had to grind them out. 
I did see a couple of successful fisherman coming down from the dam but not many.  One here, one there.
Clint- fish were rolling both days, more so in the pool outside the out flow chambers.
 
I hate to say this but Jack you need to start doing a serious rain dance.
 
The fish are there guys you just have to keep at them.

Nice Gerry. Still haven't fished there- this might be the year.

Fichy- Because of limited fishing areas it really is more combat like fishing similar to the Ballfield and Town Pool.  No doubt you would do well but I don't think it's conducive to your style.  However steelheading is superb during the winter/spring particularly with a drift boat.

Charlie , from my limited experience there I( about 20 tomes ) Im not quite sure it's a walker like yourself river. Maybe but I don't know, it wasn't for me .
I was a wall walker and dam wader in nov, feb and march for trout. Did that J- boat a few times and the ranger bass boat for browns in march- April . Strange river in a strange city . Requires way more respect of water then say the Hudson River down here ..

The other side was pretty good for steel, but they shut down the bridge over the canal and it is impossible to get over there if the water is running. That took out slot of good spots. Remember the need for a coastguard approved PFD if you fish in the water. The city and Brookfield are fighting now due to the sirens and '' over policing'' that is having a negative impact on fishing. The city feels they are losing revenue.   I have been there and the siren goes off, so you have to get out of the water. No release for 20 minutes and the yellow (all clear) light comes on. Then they wail the siren again and still no release. I have also seen the red light on when there was no release and Brookfield kicking folks out of the water when the yellow light was on.

Clint- it has changed a lot over the years.  You had access to some great water when you could still cross the bridge to Leto Island.  Too bad the shop and the bridge are closed.  Probably a good idea to wear a PFD when fishing that river because it can be treacherous.  We had to wear a PFD while in the drift boat, its required when you anchor up.
 
The sirens/lights did sound and verbal warning system was activated while we were there Sunday.  The release was negligible and had no impact on fishing.  We were hoping for a good release to send the fish into a feeding frenzy but no such luck.
