 Small
and Largemouth Bass are also abundant, aggressive and eager to bend
your rod. They can be found in Lake Ontario, its tributaries like
the Oak Orchard River and in numerous inland waterways. The upper
Oak Orchard River between Medina and Waterport is an especially prolific
Smallmouth fishery. A combination bass fishing/canoe trip is a delightful
way to spend a hot, midsummer day. Autumn
in Orleans County, when the hardwood leaves are ablaze with vibrant
reds and oranges and the apples are ready to be picked is when the
mighty Chinook is drawn from the depths of the lake by the spawning
instinct. It surges up the tributaries to spawn in remarkable numbers.
Rumor has it that spawning salmon aren't feeding and will not take
a lure or a fly, but rumor is proven wrong as these monstrous salmonids
instinctively strike out at any presentation that threatens or disturbs
their hallowed reproductive process. Along with the Chinook come the
giant Brown Trout that have made the Oak Orchard area of Orleans County
a "must visit" destination for trout fishermen from across
the nation. As the Brown and Salmon runs taper off towards the end of November, the sleek and feisty Steelhead begin their runs up the tributaries, continuing until the first of May, rounding out an entire year of fantastic, world class trout, salmon and pan fishing. |
