Orleans County New York

Today is Wednesday January 6, 2016. Temperatures will moderate throughout the rest of the week and into this weekend. The cold snap of the last few days have kept all but the hardiest of fishermen out of the tributaries within Orleans County. Those who did brave the elements found low water on Marsh, Sandy and Johnson Creeks and varying flows on the "Oak". They also found some icy conditions along water's edge. There have been some reports of fresh steelhead in the system along with spawned out steelhead and brown trout, mainly in the "Oak". If we get the warm-up predicted for the rest of the week we may pick up some water flow in all of our tributaries which will help move fish out of the deeper pools. With the colder weather Lake Alice fish have most likely moved into deeper water and the upper portion has started to ice over. Like they say too much ice for soft water fishing and not enough ice for solid water fishing. Sports show season starts next weekend with a show in Charleston West Virginia at the Civic Center. If you're in the area stop by and say hello. From Point Breeze on Lake Ontario, the World fishing Network's Ultimate Fishing Town USA and the rest of Orleans County, Let's make everyday a great fishing Day right here in Orleans County.
