Our season begins at ice out,
mid-March to early April. This is the time for
shallow water fishing for Brown Trout as the waters near the
mouth of surrounding Lake Ontario tributaries warm up due to run off
distribution into the lake. This warmer water first brings in huge schools of
healthy bait for the Browns to gorge themselves on. These fish grow very quickly in
our bait rich waters and attain trophy size in only 2 to 3 years. This fishing
lasts into mid- May. 
As the general lake waters warm and the fish move away
from shore, our fishery develops some unique characteristics, such as thermal
bars and temperature breaks, causing the fish to concentrate in these certain
areas. An angler fishing with us in mid-May to the end of
June might enjoy limits of Brown
Trout
one day and the aerobatics of Steelhead the next. Also during
these times, an angler will have the chance to experience a huge
Lake Trout on the end of his line,
often ranging in weight from 5 to 15 pounds, with a
20 pound fish not all that uncommon. Imagine landing one
of these trophy size fish on light lines down to 6 lb. test and feeling every
twitch and head shake through the light action of our light Spring tackle. Even
the most seasoned angler's heart pounds in excitement with this
experience.
June and
July
bring exceptional summer weather to eastern Lake Ontario, with generally calm
seas and warm temperatures. This is prime time for those trophy
Lake Trout, where limit catches are
the rule rather than the exception! But let's not forget, this is the time when
there is always a chance for catching a trophy class King Salmon,
Brown Trout, or Steelhead. June and July are always the best months
for a family trip on the beautiful waters of Lake Ontario. 
August and
September bring large schools of the incredibly hard fighting
King (Chinook) Salmon to their staging areas
offshore on eastern Lake Ontario before they make their final spawning runs into
tributaries that feed the lake. These trophies range in size from 25 to 40 pounds and when you hook up to one of these, HOLD ON!
They will run until their heart's content. This unbelievable fishing lasts into
October.

After the Salmon run, mid-October to
mid-November, we go
back to fishing for Steelhead and Browns as the waters of Lake Ontario begin to chill, bringing
the action back to the surface. Limit catches are common during peak
periods.
