Oswego, NY – 2010 was a good year for the number one tourist attraction in Oswego County-- fishing. That's one finding of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's 2010 report on the Lake Ontario fishery.

As WRVO's Joyce Gramza reports, the county netted more anglers and the anglers caught a whole lot more steelheads, but fewer salmon, than in years past.

WRVO is at a critical moment.
