orleans Orleans County Fishing Report for February 21, 2018

[Orleans County]

This week's fishing report is from Ron Bierstine at Oak Orchard Tackle & Lodge, 2/21/18:

 

"Flows go up, flows go down, flows go back up...  Thanks to rain yesterday with unseasonable warm temps, all the tributary flows are high and dirty and headed shortly probably to blown and dirty.  Thanks to last week ending with a couple days of cold temps, flows had actually retreated quicker than anticipated and offered a decent fishable window thru the past weekend on falling and clearing flows.  There was some on and off steelhead action and anglers had hook-ups on the smaller tributaries too.

 

"The forecast is for warm temps thru the mid week and another chance for precipitation today.  After this week, all the tributary courses' ice should be moved out and probably the ice cover on Lake Alice (aka Waterport Pond).  Look for rising tributary water temperatures now, at least in the short term and, if any seasonal cool weather doesn't return."
