Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
Today is Wednesday June 29, 2016.
Let's start out with derbies.
This Friday July 1st starts the LOC Summer Derby which runs through July 31st.
There is $29,000 in cash up for grabs with a $10,000 Grand prize.
Then there is the 26th Annual Erie Canal Derby which runs from July 6th to the 17th this year.
In this event a boat, motor and trailer is the grand prize and in the youth division a canal trail bike is available.
Fishing on Lake Ontario has been good to exceptional over the past week.
Winds have been fairly kind to us and that has kept the fishing in closer to shore, mainly the 90 to 150 feet of water range.
Most anglers are reporting a good mix of fish, mainly Chinook salmon, Lake trout and Steelhead trout with some reporting some exceptional size fish in each category.
With the great weather predicted through the weekend and well into next week, fishing should continue to improve.
On Lake Alice Large and Smallmouth bass and Carp seem to be providing most of the action.
Reports have the Bass mostly at legal size with few undersize fish being seen.
The Erie Canal from Middleport to Brockport is in the process of being de-watered for some emergency repairs in two locations but the portion from Middleport to Albion should be reopened by the end of next week.
The 4th of July is when we celebrate the birth of our great nation and a great way to celebrate is to take a kid fishing, hiking or any other activity that helps our youth to enjoy all that the great outdoors has to offer.
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.
