orleans Orleans County Fishing Report for August 21, 2018

[Orleans County]

This week's fishing report is from Capt. John Oravec of Tightlines Charters, August 21, 2018. 

Quote

Long days + heavy catches + loads of high quality silver fish = the "High Season" for anglers that are visiting and fishing the Trout and Salmon Grounds of Orleans County! Longtime known as "Home of the King", the ongoing migration offers all year classes of Chinook plus a "mambo" brown trout ledge fishery.

Right now, mature Kings 15 to 22 pound average (yes, the Sharks!) are staging along 20 miles off Orleans County's coast. Search the 45 to 100 foot drop offs.  Take advantage of boat launch access at Bald Eagle, Golden Hill and of course the "Oak", public as well as the Ernst Lake Breeze ramp.

Tactically, try mixing a flasher, fly rig or flasher - cut bait set up on wire Dipsies, keeping spoons on the riggers for big Browns. Try bright glow, chartreuse, frog patterns that local merchants like Narby's carry along with the fresh herring, aka "meat".
