Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Wednesday March 9, 2016.
The warmer weather of the past few days has cleared most of what ice was left and has given all of the tributaries within Orleans County good water flows.
Most of the tributaries are at medium to slightly high flows with almost clear water.
On the "Oak" water flows have been reduced slightly on the turbine channel and the overflow side is at a maintenance level.
Water temperatures are quickly approaching the 40 degree mark and steelhead are on the move throughout the tributary system.
When wind conditions are right some are braving the waters of Lake Ontario, catching some fresh Brown trout.
Bullhead, Perch and Bluegills are starting to be taken on Lake Alice and in some of the tributaries.
With the possibility of a good amount of rain in the forecast over the next day or two, all of the conditions could quickly change as far as water clarity and levels but time will tell.
The warmer weather should also spur some action in the marinas as those who primarily lake fish rush to get their vessels ready for what could very well be an early start to the lake season.
Speaking of Lake Ontario, water levels for the start of the season appear to be above normal levels and warmer than the past several years.
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.
