Orleans County Fishing Report 1/26/22

Winter and cold and snow is hanging in. Seasonable cold is forecast to hang in at least thru the week and weekend. Some Lake Effect Snow showers has amounted to a few more inches of fluffy accumulation on top of the 1-2 ft previous snow. Forecast is mostly clear thru the upcoming week, no significant impact expected from the upcoming east coast storm. I for one am glad for some consistent winter weather to at least "reset" seasonal conditions after the mild fall. The hope is this cold weather will be a good thing for later winter and spring steelhead action. For now most all waterways are low and clear. Fast water spots on the Oak remain open with just some bank ice. Careful and hardy drifters have hooked up on some bright steelhead. The other area smaller waterways are mostly iced and snowed in.
