Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Wednesday, July 31, 2013.
First congratulations to all of the winners in the Summer LOC Derby.
A full listing of the winners can be found at www.loc.org.
August is a very busy month for derbies in Orleans County.
The Orleans County Rotary Club Derby starts this coming Saturday, August 3rd, and runs through Sunday August 18th.
Not only do we have the Rotary Club Derby but also the LOC Fall Derby, August 16th through September2, and the Greater Niagara Fish Odyssey August 17th through the 25th.
There is something for everyone.
This past Monday the talk on Lake Ontario was about water spouts on the lake, but soon settled down to talk about some great fishing.
Yesterday water spouts were again spotted but this time much further East, off the shores of Wayne County.
It seems like Mother Nature has fit to give us the weather to set up Lake Ontario.
Reports are of plenty of schools of bait and hungry fish around those schools.
Good catches of fish are being taken around the 100' range and then again in the 26 to 28 lines West of the harbor.
Most of the boats are keying in around those schools of bait, trying several different directions until they find the right one.
Spoons, flasher and flies, cut bait are working on riggers, dipsys, lead lines and copper rigs in an abundance of color patterns.
Chinook salmon are being reported in the high 20s to low 30s pound ranges.
On the inland waters of Orleans County, fishing is good everywhere especially for Bass.
Lake Alice is producing some nice catches of both Bluegill and Crappie, especially around the Waterport Bridge.
On the Erie Canal a wide variety of species are being caught, with fishing being very good around the wide water area.
From Point Breeze on Lake Ontario in Orleans County, the Ultimate Fishing Town USA for 2013, let's make everyday a great fishing day, right here in Orleans County.
