Today I had the Farrington crew from New Hampshire on the water for their annual trip to Lake Ontario for some early spring brown trout action.

The weather was a bit wet but didn't keep the smiles from coming as several nice healthy Brown trout came to the net.

Cloudy overcast sies greated us on both days as we cleared the brea wall in pursuit of our quarry.

Blk/slvr Stick baits on the boards trolled 135-150 worked well as did the Michigan stingers in Alewive and Goby patterns.

The fishing will continue too be very good over the month of May and into the summer.
