Today is Wednesday March 16, 2016. The warmer weather over the past week or so has warmed the waters of Orleans County to unusual highs. One report has the Lake Alice surface temperature as high as 49 degrees and the temperature at the mouth of Oak Orchard River at 43 degrees. More seasonal temperatures will come into play with the cool down that will be here starting Friday and continue for a week or better. Sunday may be the first day of spring on the calendar but evidently Mother Nature doesn't pay any attention to that. On Lake Ontario those with smaller boats are working the shoreline and doing fairly well on Brown trout when wind conditions are favorable. The best action this time of year is around the tributary discharges due to the stained water conditions and warmer water temperatures. Fair to good conditions exist on all of the tributaries within Orleans County with both spawned and fresh Steelhead in the mix along with that occasional Brown trout. Suckers and Bullhead are starting to enter the mix as well as a perch or two at times. On Lake Alice Bullhead, Perch, Bluegill and Crappie are all starting to be taken but not in any great numbers yet. In another month our marinas will be filling up with our charter fleet and private boaters ready to take the challenge that Lake Ontario offers for another season. 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.
