Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report

Today is Monday July 16, 2012.
First I would like to congratulate all of the winners in the 22nd Annual Erie Canal Derby.
The results are posted on www.eriecanalderby.com.
On the other inland waters of Orleans County fishing has been good considering the above normal temperatures so far this year.
Lake Alice waters are still producing good numbers of Bluegill and very nice size Smallmouth bass.
On Glenwood Lake good numbers of Walleye is being reported.
After several years of less than active Bass fishing success, it seems like there is a great increase in the numbers and sizes of both Small and Largemouth bass throughout our Orleans County Waters.
This increase also carries over to the Lake Ontario waters off Orleans County.
It's good to see the numbers come back for this great fish species.
On Lake Ontario the numbers and size of the all the cold water species is producing a banner year of fishing.
Great concentrations of Kings seem to be holding in the 120 to 150 foot range and then around the 27 line there is a good mix of both Chinooks and Steelhead/Rainbow trout.
Bait patterns seem to be scattered through the full spectrum of choices.
It seems like you can just go to the baits that you have the most confidence in and do very well.
With the great weather in abundance and the availability of some fantastic fishing, why not come out and enjoy all the Orleans County has to offer.
Let's make everyday a great fishing day, right here in Orleans County.
