Fall Fishing

Enjoy Lake Ontario at its best!

Fall is coming and so are the salmon! The big salmon migration is well on its way. We are seeing new fish show up off our shoreline every day. The fishing has been very good with a lot of big, angry salmon coming to the net. We are fishing out of our home port of the Salmon River in our well-equipped Hewescraft 220 Ocean Pro boat.

If you are interested in reserving a day of fishing or would like more information on what we offer give us a CALL at 315-529-4204. Also please feel free to TEXT us at 315-529-4204 if your call is not answered.

We do require a deposit of $100 a day to lock in your reservation. For your convenience you can use PayPal, Venmo or check to secure your day of fishing. We can also set up a time to talk, discuss the trip, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to showing you and your group the best cold water fishery on the east coast!



Thanks,
Capt. Mark Ledden

Lake Ontario Trips

Spring & Fall

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.

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.
