HOLLEY – High temperatures have finally reached Orleans County with a high of 78 today, followed by 89 Monday by Tuesday by 88.

These two friends from Clarendon were fishing this morning from a new dock at Holley’s Canal Park. Rick Meise, left, and Terry Cassey said the fish were biting. They caught a bass, catfish, rock bass and perch, and saw a lot of water snakes.

“They were soaking up the sun,” Cassey said about the snakes.

Holley soon will be installing a new kayak launch by the new dock.

After a warm few days the highs will drop later in the week to 62 on Wednesday, 57 on Thursday, 65 on Friday and 68 on Saturday, according to the national Weather Service in Buffalo.
