Orleans County New York

Today is Wednesday November 9, 2016. More seasonable temperatures and off and on rain throughout the next few days should keep fishing conditions in great shape. There are a good number of salmon throughout all the tributaries within Orleans County including a fair number of Atlantic salmon. Numbers in the upstream areas including the dam on the "Oak" are probably at a peak or close to it. Brown trout and steelhead numbers are increasing every day. Fishing in Johnson Creek has really picked up in the last few days at least for salmon. It seems like the baits that are hot right now are everything including worms but black and green in the artificial baits, especially Stone Flies, are doing extremely well. On the lower stretches of the "Oak" Perch and Bass are still being taken but again a lot of smaller ones in the mix. Lake Alice is still giving up some Perch and Bass but again in smaller sizes. Remember that the Erie Canal closes on November 20th this year and then the de-watering process will begin shortly after that. Please take a few moments this Friday, Veterans Day, to thank a veteran for their service to our country for they are the reason that we have the freedoms that we enjoy today. 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.
