Orleans County open-lake and Oak waters continue to produce outstanding trolling action.

Now’s your chance to come ply the Orleans County and nearby waters and get in on what’s been a great summer bite.

Solid summer salmon action continues at the Oak and Orleans County waters.

Open-water lake action for kings remains real good. There are still some nice steelhead in the mix, too.

Nearly all charter and rec anglers are having continued almost exceptional action right now.

Trolling anglers have been into exceptional catches of kings, especially in the offshore waters.

For those on the hunt for big browns, the inside waters have reportedly been good.

Some good browns are coming nearer shore at mid-depths, and on different days, there’s good salmon action there, too.

As a whole the big lake open-water action for area waters is somewhat mixed.
