Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Wednesday January 11, 2017.
The up and down temperatures continue with us being in the warmer temperature part of the swing for now.
Rain of last night and more rain and snow in the forecast should keep the water levels in all of the tributaries within Orleans County at moderate to slightly high levels and water clarity at stained to slightly stained through the rest of this week and into next week.
Most of our tributaries are at least partly open and should remain so with the warmer weather.
The bad news is that there is a lack of safe ice for ice fishermen to be on and that shouldn't change for the better anytime in the near future.
The partial icing conditions also means that small boats cannot access the lower portion of the "Oak" presently.
The good news is that the thawing conditions right now, both brown trout and steelhead are on the move throughout the system and fresh fish are entering the system.
Both natural and artificial baits are working well including woolie buggers and nymphs in a variety of colors, wax worms, salted minnows and spikes.
With the ever changing weather conditions please be mindful of your surrounding conditions as they may quickly change.
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.
