FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE June
15, 2012
Oswego County: NY’s Trophy Fishing Mill
By Spider Rybaak
OSWEGO
COUNTY, NY - Ever since fishing
crossed the line from subsistence to sport, New York has been the most
fisherman-friendly state in the union. And like a good friend, it keeps getting
better and better. In 1991, for instance, the authorities designated the last
weekend in June as free fishing time, allowing everyone, everywhere, the
opportunity to fish these two days without a license. This year’s Free Fishing
Weekend falls on June 23-24.
So how do you
decide where to go? New York
offers a lot of options. American fly-fishing was hatched in Catskill Mountain
streams; Seth Green built the country’s first hatchery in the Finger Lakes
community of Caledonia in 1864, spawning aquaculture in this hemisphere; and Oswego County
developed the most productive waters in the country, even better than the Pacific Ocean.
That’s right, Oswego County’s
territorial waters beat the world’s largest ocean when it comes to raising some
salmon species. But don’t take Oswego County Tourism’s (the source of this
press release) word for it; check the record. The International Game Fish
Association (IGFA) world record coho salmon, a species native to the Pacific
Ocean, is a 33-lb 4-ozer caught in the Salmon River
in 1989 by Jerry Lifton.
New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), on the other hand, recognizes a
slightly larger fish, a 33-lb. 7 oz. critter caught in Lake Ontario
by Stephen Sheets Jr. on August 13, 1998.
Regardless of
whose fish you accept as the largest, the fact remains both are bigger than
anything the Pacific Ocean has been able to
produce.
The New York State
and Great Lakes Chinook salmon record was caught by Kurtis Killian in the Salmon River on Sept. 7, 1991. The fish weighed in just
shy of 48 pounds at 47 lbs.13 oz.!
What’s more, the
world record Chinook-coho, a hybrid recognized by the IGFA but not the NYSDEC,
is a 35-lb. 8-oz. fish taken in the Salmon River
in October, 2001 by Brooks Gerli. Since the Chinook salmon is also indigenous
to the Pacific, you can bet your fly rod a lot of hybrids are taken out West,
too, it’s just that none is anywhere near as big as ours.
Trout also come
big in these parts. NY’s record brown trout, a 33-lb 2 oz. bruiser was taken on
June 10, 1997 by Tony Brown (no relation) in Oswego County
territorial waters.
Funny thing, Jerry
Bresadola, the charter captain who led Brown to his brown, admits “I spent the
next day searching for an angler named Chinook. Couldn’t find one.”
Less glamorous species also get big
around here. The NYS record shorthead redhorse, a member of the sucker family,
is an 11-lb. 11-oz. specimen caught in the Salmon River
by Joe Williams on May 26, 1996.
And the Salmon
River isn’t the only stream in Oswego
County that spits out
trophies regularly. The Oswego River, Lake
Ontario’s second largest
tributary, has been granting anglers monster walleyes for as long as anyone can
remember. Jerry Wanitsy, a native of Rochester
who frequently fishes from the bank in the city of Oswego says “I wouldn’t be surprised if a
state record walleye was already caught out of here. The locals are so used to
big fish, they never weigh ‘em; just take ‘em home, clean ‘em and eat ‘em. To
tell the truth, you never see small walleyes caught here. They’re all huge!”
What’s more, the
fishing is easy. Both banks in the city of Oswego are paved in concrete and topped with
fishermen-friendly fences. And while there’s always the chance you might latch
onto a record walleye, salmon or even sturgeon, and chances are you’ll catch
loads of smaller fish first, and that’s a plus to beginners or families with
small children.
And the tiniest Great Lake
and its tributaries aren’t all the county has to offer. Oneida
Lake, for instance, the greatest walleye and bass fishery in the
state, washes our southeastern shore. It’s loaded with safe, public fishing
venues like the DEC sites at the foot of the northeastern end of the I-81
bridge (off County route 37 in Brewerton), at Toad Harbor (take NY 49 to West
Monroe, turn south on Toad Harbor Road and follow it to the end) and Cleveland
Docks (NY 49 in Cleveland). The first two have handicap platforms, the third is
accessible to the disabled.
Or try your luck
for panfish, bass and monster carp at Lake Neahtahwanta,
NY 3, on the west side of Fulton. Just park your car, head for the
shore and cast out.
All the species
that are found in the fresh waters of the state are available in Oswego County.
You can go somewhere else and put up with catching a bunch of little guys while
trying for a big one. Or come to Oswego
County where the fish
come big and the favorite local pastime is to break records.
