Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Wednesday September 23, 2015.
And so it begins, slowly at first but building up speed as it goes.
Of course I'm talking about the transition from Lake Ontario fishing to tributary fishing in Orleans County.
The cooler nights bring trout and salmon closer to shore but then the daytime highs send them back out into Lake Ontario.
There are some salmon scattered throughout the Oak but not in any great numbers yet.
Fishermen are picking both Chinooks and Brown trout off the piers at the point casting weighted spoons and plugs.
Those working the shoreline from boats are getting fish with J-plugs, stick baits and some flasher/fly combinations.
Both groups are having the most action early morning and late evening.
I haven't had any solid reports yet on the fishing in Johnson, Marsh or Sandy creeks but I would imagine that trout and salmon are starting to show up in all 3 tributaries.
The weather for the rest of this week and into next week calls for more of the same with a chance of another warm-up towards the end of next week.
We are only about a month away from the St. Mary's Archers Club Catch and Release Derby which will be October 21 to 23 this year.
Your entry fee includes parking and some of the best meals you'll ever enjoy.
Also on the Oak, Bass and Northern pike are still being taken but Perch fishing is very slow so far.
On Lake Alice Bluegill and Crappie are still being taken from the Waterport Bridge for those who are persistent, and of course Bass everywhere.
Fall is a great time of year to involve children in the great outdoors whether it's fishing, hiking, bird watching, hunting or just seeing the color changes in all the foliage.
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.
