Fish on, Fall Salmonid Anglers! Yes, king salmon and some brown trout have invaded the Orleans County Lake Ontario shallows and Oak Orchard River runs have begun. But the big news from this charter captain is there is another fabulous fishery set up on the 70 to 120 foot ledge featuring chrome “feeding” chinook up to 15#, 75 to 105 downrigger depths and steelhead at 40 to 50 feet down. Tactically it’s a basic spoon bite. Find the baitfish piles and action up! During last week, fishermen from 10 feet to 400 feet also hit a scattered “dark riverbound” king salmon so those fish will soon hit the Oak’s river mouth staging then running the Oak Orchard River. Cooler weather and fall rains will trigger more runs. Watch the weather, get rigged for more salmon.
