Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report

Today is Wednesday February 24, 2016.
The more up than down temperatures of the past several days have caused water levels and flows on all of the tributaries within Orleans County to be at high levels with visibility to be less than a foot in most cases.
It has also caused most of the tributaries to clear the majority of ice that they have had.
With precipitation in the form of both rain and snow in the forecast over the next week, water levels should remain high.
On the "Oak" the turbines at the Waterport Power Station seems to be running full bore which means that the turbine channel should contain most of the fish on the move.
Steelhead should still be the most prevalent fish in any of the tributaries followed by Brown trout and I'm still getting reports of an occasional Coho being caught.
Some fishermen are having some success on Johnson Creek now that it has pretty well opened up from the ice pack but no reports of what is being caught yet.
Lake Alice is still iced over but with the warming trend it is totally unsafe to be on.
From Point Breeze on Lake Ontario, the World Fishing Network's Ultimate Fishing Town USA and the rest of Orleans County, Let's make every day a great fishing day right here in Orleans County.
