Oak Orchard Creek is a tailwater fishery that remains ice free throughout most of early the winter. A hydroelectric dam at Waterport in Orleans County regulates the creek's flow into Lake Ontario. As the river grows closer to the lake it provides safe harbor for over 300 private boat moorings. Several large marinas are located at the mouth of the river.
Oak Orchard is home to one of the finest fleet of charter boat captains on Lake Ontario. Many dedicate time for the pen rearing of trout and salmon. Captains here also appear at many seminars that are held through out the year and share advice and new techniques that are used to target trout and salmon in Lake Ontario
If you are looking for a trophy to hang on the wall, chances are you can get one while fishing from a charter boat. Most captains are on the lake daily and are well aware of current hots spots and lures. They also work together and share info to help keep the clients happy. Should the weather turn bad and your trip end prematurely most captains will pro rate the trip or in some cases reschedule another day.
Oak Orchard has many fine fishing related web sites. Here are some links to some you may find useful if you are planning a trip to the Oak Orchard Area.
