True to form for the month of March couple of days of nice
warm spring weather and then old man winter comes back and gives us a big blast
of winter weather and over 2 feet of snow. As for Western New York, Oak Orchard
River area. We were running about 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule. Looks like
old Man Winter solve that problem for us. We are right back on schedule for the
spring steelhead run. For now we are
going to need to give everything some time for the snow to do it thing and run off. However judging by the
upcoming long-term weather forecast I suspect this will happen relatively
quickly. The same goes for the Salmon River and its surrounding rivers and creeks.
Everything is either iced up and snow choked or running some big cold water. As
of now the Salmon River flow is 1700 CFS, and I suspect this is going to
continue for some time to come. With this past storm we had, which was
significant, Even the Salmon River watershed received over 2 foot of snow.
Water flows for the upcoming spring are looking very good.
Not much has happened over the past week when it comes to
the fishing, Just a lot of Fly tying. The
upcoming week we will be back on the water once again and we’re anticipating
experiencing some winter type fishing conditions, at least for the early part of the week. Keep
in mind that it is March and we are fishing steelhead. Once again conditions can
and will change quickly. Monitor the
water temperatures, In the spring, Water temperatures Will govern Fish
behavior.
Note;
We still have prime fishing dates are available, for both
Western New York Oak Orchard River area and the Salmon River. If you’re
interested please feel free to call and we can discuss your options cell
