orleans Orleans County Fishing Report for March 20, 2018

[Orleans County]

Today is Tuesday, March 20, 2018. This week’s fishing report is from Ron Bierstine at Oak Orchard Tackle & Lodge:

 

"Happy First Day of Spring! Clear but cold-ish weather is forecast thru the week with highs in the 30’s°F.  No impact is expected here from the latest Nor’easter. In fact, with no real snow melt going on lately, its getting kind of dry.  There is a chance for a warm up toward this weekend and although right here on the Lake Plains there isn’t much snow, there is some more to the south.  Hopefully that will get flows in the Oak back up some when it begins to melt. 

 

"Flows in the Oak are moderate and pretty clear, not far off from typical fall time conditions.  There were a few more anglers out this past weekend, but over all, the fishing pressure is relatively light.  Fish numbers are still pretty good. They are not fresh and dumb anymore so presentations have to be good with generally lighter leads and tippets.  A fair amount of fish are still tucked up at the dam with scattered fish spreading downstream."
