Made a quick trip up to Oswego on Monday afternoon to fish Tuesday. 
 
Up until my arrival the Spring brown fishing had been good but the weather conditions on Tuesday put the fish off their bite.  The inclement weather wasn't supposed to roll in until after 4 PM but arrived nearly eight hours early.  Intermittent showers gave way to a steady rain about 11 AM. 
 
Managed to boat a couple of nice fish but it was spotty at best.  Boated what was the smallest King I have ever caught, approximately 7".  Took a small Coho that wasn't a whole lot bigger along with a half dozen other browns.  Probably had more quick strikes and misses than boated fish.  All fish released to fight another day.   
 
Had I known the bite was going to be off I might have opted to take my chances on steelhead but the river was heavily stained and running at 17K+.
 
Bugged out and headed home after the trip because the SR was still running 3K+.

At least you got out for a bit and boated a few.   The Oswego is a river that I don't fish as much as I should, especially for browns.   It always seems whenever I go up there the SECOND I step in the water the siren goes off and they raise it.

Still a lot of steel in the Oswego.  The guy I fished with did very well there today.  Water came down to 14K. 
 

Super nice fish Gerry.. Hope like heck to get into some of that brown action next spring . You'll have to show me the ropes. Oswego for me was always love - hate..
Finally work has ceased and its time to go fishing.
Lots of Nickel Creek will be playing on Gilligans island , lets hope the stripers like it.

Thanks for sharing the pics of beautiful fish :

Well tried my hand at browns today and managed one, wind came up and rowing the boat became tough in the wind, with the wind piece of cake. Talked to a guide who was loading same time as us he was down in front of the salmon and crushed them think he said 42. Another boat we talked to caught 2. Got some good info and cant wait for the lake boat to be ready rowing is a young mans game. My buddy Steve with the only one.



got till june from what im told tuna plenty of time for you to get up here.

Very nice.  Congrats on boating the first of many this season.

Those are some nice Browns Jerry.I remember way back when I used to frequent the land of the mutants A/K/A Oswego catching those fish where the wall is now,had some good times there.
