Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Tuesday October 10, 2017.
This is the time of year that the crispness in the air and the changing of the leaves begs us to get outside and enjoy the wonders that Mother Nature is providing us with.
With the amount of rain we have received over the past several days, flows on all of the tributaries within Orleans County are at a slightly high level and slightly stained water clarity.
Salmon are being reported in all our tributaries and the water flows are keeping them on the move and spread out and brown trout are starting to enter the tributaries.
When the weather cooperates, fish are still being taken in Lake Ontario especially in those close to shore waters.
On the lower stretches of the "Oak" perch are starting to show up in some decent numbers from the County Marine Park to the bridges area.
The upper stretches of Lake Alice are still producing some nice bass, mostly smallmouth, but Bluegill and Crappie fishing has dropped off a bit.
The Archers Club Catch and Release Fly Fishing Derby will be held on October 18th, 19th and 20th this year which is always a great event.
Tomorrow will be the last day of operation for the Erie Canal System but will not signal the beginning of the dewatering procedure.
There is work to be done on the canal so water will remain in the system for awhile yet.
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.
