Is Lock 8 below or above fishable yet???? or Lock 7/ Vischer Ferry area ???

[Captain1978]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a fishable stretch along the Mohawk river. I took a ride to Lock 7 last weekend and it was ripping over the falls and high. I  am hoping to get my son  out tomorrow night but am unable to check the river tonight. The river cam shows it flowing but it doesn't look too bad. But I know that varies from spot to spot.

James up tight from scotia bridge up to lock eight, up from nine to  ten ice along shore, used to fish at nine but right now flood work still happening as of March 30, luck maybe ter next week , hope!

The river is not fishable yet. Big ice chunks everywhere. Only certain spots are open. Give it a little while yet. You arent missing anything while the rest of the ice thaws.

Captain...plenty of fishable water from the power plant down around the corner by the ledges...its been open all winter to where the power lines cross.

Captain, River cam? is it public? I decided to dock the boat at one of the marina's on the Mohawk this year and would love a way to watch the level.

Tree-on, look up Mohawk River Level. You will find charts and graphs that show info on water levels and flow....h2l

 Yes I know of that water there. Thank you  It is ripping pretty good. I took a drive to a few locations last night.  I am going to try  a spot at my buddies house on the river. It's a hike in but it has produced before when the river is high and ripping. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Hit the river. The spot we were in the water was low. After hiking through the woods, over ice chunks and through some thick mud..... Had a few bites. My son got the only fish. It was great just to be out and throwing some lures.... Nice  Spring night.
