What to Expect on the Water

We'll coach you through the fight, whether you're battling a hard-pulling Chinook or a acrobatic Brown Trout. Between catches, soak in the gorgeous Lake Ontario scenery and keep an eye out for local wildlife. Don't forget to bring a camera to capture those trophy fish moments!

Top Catches This Season

Lake Ontario is absolutely on fire this year, with anglers pulling in some real monsters. We've been seeing Chinook Salmon in the 20-30 pound range, with a few lucky folks landing 40-pounders. The Brown Trout fishing has been insane too, with lots of fish in the 10-15 pound class. Even on slower days, we're still putting clients on good numbers of tasty Coho Salmon and hard-fighting Lake Trout. The key to our success is staying on top of where the bait is moving and how water temperatures are shifting. We're constantly tweaking our tactics to match what the fish want on any given day. Whether it's running flashers and flies for Chinooks or slow-trolling spoons for Browns, we've got the techniques dialed in to put fish in the boat.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Chinook Salmon: Also known as King Salmon, these are the crown jewels of Lake Ontario. Chinooks are absolute powerhouses, known for blistering runs and dogged fights. They typically range from 15-30 pounds, but 40+ pound fish are caught every year. Fall is prime time for monster Kings, as they bulk up for their spawning run. There's nothing quite like the rush of a big Chinook peeling line off your reel!

Pink Salmon: While smaller than their Chinook cousins, Pink Salmon make up for it with their sheer numbers and acrobatics. These 3-5 pound fish often travel in large schools, leading to fast action when you find them. Pinks are known for their impressive aerial displays, leaping clear out of the water during the fight. They're also excellent eating, with light, delicate meat that's perfect for grilling or smoking.

Brown Trout: Lake Ontario's Brown Trout fishery is world-renowned, and for good reason. These fish grow to massive sizes in the lake's rich waters, with 10-15 pounders being common and 20+ pound fish possible. Browns are known for their cunning and hard fights, often making multiple runs before coming to the net. Spring and fall are peak seasons for trophy Browns, but good fishing can be had year-round.

Lake Trout: The native heavyweights of Lake Ontario, Lake Trout are the deepwater specialists. These fish can live for decades, growing to impressive sizes – 20-30 pound fish are not uncommon. Lakers are notorious for their stamina, often fighting all the way to the surface from depths of 100 feet or more. While they can be caught year-round, spring and fall tend to bring them into shallower water where they're easier to target.
