The new season is underway at Pitsford and it s started with good catches of trout. Most bank and the few boats out have caught nice bags of trout. Not just stockies, either, i took two 4IB overwintered rainbows from the Gorse Bush bank on Friday. There were good numbers of overwintered fish taking small black buzzers off the surface. These also fell to a small size 14 black knat, not classic opening weekend fishing especially with the foul weather. I heard of another angler taking three 5 pounders along with a number of 3 pound fish. these fell to green and white lures fished on a fast sinking line. A good number of fin perfect 1-2 IB fish were showing up too...these were excellent fighters with good surface runs...resulting in several straightened hooks! All the normal areas are producing fish. The opening week winds made the Pines, Gravel Bank and North Farm Bay all fish well. Bog bay has produced lots of fish althought he majority of these have been recent stockies. Weather permitting moving away from the crowd pays some dividends...there were some overwintered fish feeding abouth 8 ft down on daphina in the area off the sailing club. Not easy to find but worth it. Edd
