Today is Wednesday, March 15, 2017. It may only be 6 days until spring on the calendar but Mother Nature has some different ideas. The wind and snow of the past few days continues today with high winds, lake effect snow and cold temperatures which are keeping traveling almost impossible and fishing just a fleeting thought. Most tributaries within Orleans County have at least some bank ice and with the colder temperatures will continue to ice over. The temperature will not rise above the freezing mark until possibly Friday but then will dip again next week. Northwest winds are keeping Lady O riled up and will do so for at least the rest of today. Fish seem to be smarter than we are because I'm sure that right now they have found a quiet place to hang out until conditions greatly improve. Assembling the pens for the pen rearing project is still scheduled for April 1st at Ernst's Lake Breeze Marina so come out and help our continued success with this project. Remember there are only 52 more days until the Spring LOC Derby begins. From Point Breeze on Lake Ontario, the world Fishing Networks Ultimate Fishing Town USA and the rest of Orleans County, let's make everyday a great fishing day right here in Orleans County.
