Today is Wednesday April 20, 2016. Well it looks and feels like spring has finally sprung. April showers on Friday and Saturday should help those famous May flowers to really bloom. It looks like the tributary fishing for steelhead and brown trout could be singing its swan song until fall. There are still a few of both hanging around but that should not last very long. Until fall the tributary fishermen will have to refocus their efforts on bass and other warm water species. On Lake Alice both Bluegill and Crappie are becoming active with surface water temperatures approaching 56 degrees. The Erie Canal folks are busy filling the canal up for the May 1st opening. This again offers another great fishing location for all to enjoy. On Lake Ontario fishing is picking up at a fast pace. When stained water forms on the shoreline, Brown trout fishing has been very good to excellent. When the on shore water clears Lake trout fishing is also good to excellent in the 60 to 100 foot of water range. Lure colors and varieties are all over the place so start with what you have had the most success with. Don't forget that our pen reared fish need to be fed several time s a day so stop be Ernst's Lake Breeze Marina and sign up for a time slot or 2. The LOC Spring Derby starts in 15 days and this is one that you don't want to miss so sign up now. 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.
