Oak Orchard Creek - Freshwater Fishing Report
There was about an inch of rain through the end of the past weekend for the area. Points south and east of here may have gotten additional accumulations. The Oak and other area smaller waterways bumped up just a touch in flows and the smaller area waterways are back on the retreat with just slightly stained flows. Flows in the Oak are close to medium and more on the clearer side.
The change in flows coupled with the cool down has perked up the action and seems to have put more Kings on the move upstream. There's favorable stiff westerly winds on Lake Ontario, probably pushing more fish into the tribs too. Another cool, if not seasonably cold night, is in the forecast tonight with another day or two of cool weather. Then the forecast is for warm and clear by the end of the week and weekend.
King migrations should remain good and upstream numbers of fish, like on the Oak and even the area smaller waterways, is building. More Kings are holding in water besides right at the dam for example.
Fishing pressure was pretty spotty through the past holiday weekend and seems a little less intense so far this week. Salmon are the main target but we are definitely hearing of some brown trout, steelhead, Atlantics and Coho hookups too. King action is underway with lots of good chances ahead and trout action seems to be coming on making for nice mixed bag chances. Lots of Kings to drift through and around for those trout chances though!
Target Species:
Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout
