Orleans County New York

Today is Wednesday May 4, 2016. Even with the rain of the past several days the waters along the southern shore of Lake Ontario is clear and cold thanks to the wonderful Northeast winds. It looks like these winds will continue for another day or two and then Mother Nature may give us a break. With the conditions that we presently have Lake trout seems to be the fish of choice. On Lake Alice a green algae bloom has taken over for a few days but this should dissipate hopefully by the weekend. With only 2 days before the start of the Spring LOC Derby (May 6th) and then a host of tournaments following closely after that, information may be a little tough to get. Word is that we should be able to keep our pen fish for another week so there's still time to help out with the feeding and cleaning of the pens. After that help will be needed to release the fish, haul out the pens, clean the nets and then put everything away for another year so extra help is still needed. 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.
