Today is Wednesday December 3, 2014. Temperatures for the upcoming week have daytime highs slightly above freezing and night time lows in the in the mid to high 20s. With the closing of Bass season Lake Alice seems to be fairly quiet with Bluegills and Crappie being less than corporative. With the de-watering process of the Erie Canal completed and very little precipitation in the forecast for the upcoming week, flows in the tributaries within Orleans County should remain on the low side. Fishing pressure should also be low with hunting season in full swing throughout the Northeast. Oak Orchard River is giving up Brown and Rainbow/Steelhead trout in marginal numbers from the Waterport Dam all the way to the point. Perch and Northern Pike fishing is good in the shallows (10 to 12 feet of water). There are still good numbers of fish in Sandy, Marsh and Johnson creeks but you have to work at it to get them due to lower water levels and clear water. From Point Breeze on Lake Ontario, the 2013 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.
