[Orleans County]

This week's STREAM fishing report is from Ron Bierstine from Oak Orchard Tackle and Lodge, December 4, 2018.

Thanks to the past weekend rain all the tributary flows did come up and go off color.  True to this season's MO so far, flows stopped just short of blowing out or going completely unfishable.  Flows in the Oak are back to slightly high and slightly stained with about 2 ft of visibility.  Flows consist of a good head of turbine water.  There is still almost daily water level fluctuations thanks to hydro-power operations.  With leaf fall mostly complete those water level fluctuations should become less frequent.  The other area smaller tributaries probably crested through yesterday and with a good cold night last night, they should be on the retreat and clearing at something like medium flows and stained water color through this mid week period.
