Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Monday May 14, 2012.
Fishing in Orleans County just keeps getting better and better.
On the Erie Canal great catches of Rock bass and Smallmouth bass are being reported all along the canal, but please remember that Smallmouth bass season doesn't open until the third Saturday in June so its catch and immediately release.
Some good size Perch are still being taken at the Point on Oak Orchard River and also on Johnson Creek at the Kuckville Bridge.
On Glenwood Lake Bullhead and Catfish catches are good to very good.
Both Large and Smallmouth bass catches are being seen on Lake Alice and also on the lower reaches of Oak Orchard River from the dam to the point.
On Lake Ontario off the Orleans County shoreline catches of Chinook and Coho salmon, Rainbow/Steel head trout, Brown trout and Lake trout are being taken in very good numbers both by boat and casting from the piers.
Fishing seems to be in the area of 24 to 140 feet of water and from 20 to 75 feet down.
Small to medium size spoons in silver, blue or green color patterns and stick baits in orange, green or blacks patterns seem to be the hot lures.
Please don't forget that the Condor big 3 fish derby takes place on Friday June 8th and then the Orleans County Pro-Am Tournament is June 9 and 10 this year.
Let's make everyday a great fishing day, right here in Orleans County.
