Today is Wednesday June 22, 2016. To start off, the Erie Canal from Middleport to Brockport will be shut down starting June 27th to drain that portion of the canal. There are two major repairs that need to be made; one at the culvert overpass at Culvert Road and the other is a culvert wall at Hulberton. The repair at Culvert Road will be a temporary fix and the permanent fix will be done after the close of the canal season. When the temporary fix is completed the section of canal between Middleport and Albion will be reopened and the section between Albion and Brockport will remain closed until the permanent repair is completed at Hulberton. On Lake Alice they are doing well on some nice Largemouth bass casting spinners along the weed beds. Perch, Bluegills and Rock bass are being taken in 15 to 20 feet of water. On Lake Ontario the Spinney Water Fleas are just starting to show up but not in any great numbers as of yet. Fishing seems to be good between the 25 and 26 lines with very good catches of both Steelhead and salmon being reported. Don't forget that the Summer LOC Derby starts on July 1st and runs through the end of the month. 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.
