Anyone have info on Sandy? Are the fish there yet?

It is still way too warm, too little water.  You can get an idea of when things get possible by watching the USGS website for the Genesee at Ford Street.  When the Temperature readout on the river gets below about 65, fish will start nosing up the Genesee.  A good rain after that will have them starting into the other streams.  But October into November is really the time on the South Shore of LO (except for the Oswego, which already has a few fish.)  I was on the Driving Park Bridge over the Gennie yesterday, and there were no fishers, and no fish (although they could be there and be hidden by the turbidity.)  But the water is still too warm for them, too.

Word yesterday was that there are large numbers of fish off the mouth and the spoon chuckers on the piers at the mouth of the Genesee are having luck even during the early and late daylight hours, so this cold snap and rain we have coming this weekend could start the run in the Genesee, and if there is enough runoff to push Sandy there will be a start on the salmon there as well.

Thanks guys. Please keep me updated. I'll probably only get one chance to come up.

If I only had one chance to hit WNY, I would wait until October, and risk not hitting the early salmon, but maybe hitting peak on the browns and early chromers.

Lucky, you have a PM. YOur inbox is full though, so  you can't get it until you delete a few.

Planning a trip for Oct 5. Any predictions concerning what the fishing in Sandy will be like? I'm talking about the Sandy that is by The Oak, North of Rochester.

Rain can change everything but I would keep the Oak as an alternative.
Creeks are still pretty low round here.
 

slab we'll be up that week too    hit me or penfan up
 

Twobob, thanks for the report. Doesn't look like any rain until Sunday.
 
Muskie, I will definitely do that. Maybe I'll get you and Pen's cell #'s before I leave and we can hook up on the water.
