The New York Power Authority Fishing Platform and the other NYPA fish facilities have opened for the season, ahead of the traditional April 1 schedule.
Action had been good for trout until late last week, but then some nasty weather took over and anglers are looking toward smaller tributaries and creeks until conditions start to clear up.
Perch, crappies, bluegills, bass, and pike are still feeding in the bays, and with medium flows and slightly stained water color, steelhead are active in the streams.
