Orleans County New York

Lake Ontario

Today is Wednesday October 12, 2016. The cold temperatures and frost of Monday night and Tuesday morning should go a long way in convincing salmon that it's spawning time. Even though temperatures will be back up in the 70's today tributary temperatures are definitely heading in the right direction. Some solid reports have Brown trout and even some Atlantic salmon entering the mix. The best action still is occurring around the mouths of the tributaries and from small boats working the shoreline. There are fish all the way up to the dam on Oak Orchard but not as heavy as you would expect at this time of year. Basically it seems that everything is about two weeks behind where you would expect it to be. A good rain would go a long way towards bringing things back to something close to being normal. On Lake Alice the cooler temperatures have moved many of the species back to the weed beds around the lake. Bluegill and Crappie are still being taken from the Waterport Bridge but not in the numbers they were a week ago. Don't lose out on some great fishing, food, friends and prizes at the St. Mary's Archer's Club Catch and Release Derby which will be held on October 19th to the 21st this year. It is truly one of the great events of the fall fishing 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.
