The fishing remains very good to excellent and should continue as more migrating fish move east. We are getting limits almost everyday out, with tons of rod bending action! We are currently fishing out of Oswego Harbor and the fishing can’t get much better. If you thinking about going out, now is the time. I have good availability with a few weekends still available. Call now and come fish some of the best king salmon fishing on the planet right here in upstate New York!

Lake Ontario Trips
Summer
Fishing on Lake Ontario for king salmon normally goes from June through August. This is some of the best action of the year as the fish are big and hard fighting. The bag limit is three per person, and king salmon average around twenty pounds! We are trolling with down riggers and targeting these fish in deep water.

Lake Ontario Trips
Spring
Lake Ontario fishing typically starts early April and goes through May. This is the time for big lake brown trout near shore. We target these fish by trolling a large spread of spoons and stick bait. The action is fast; multiple hooks are sometimes the norm. These browns are some of the best eating fish, with a bag limit of three per person.
