All the gear you need is provided, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding technology. Just bring your lucky hat and a good attitude, and you're set for a day of serious fishing.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Ontario's been on fire lately, with anglers pulling in some real beauties. Just last week, a group nailed a 25-pound chinook that had everyone on board hollering. Another crew limited out on lake trout, with several fish pushing the 15-pound mark. And let's not forget about the steelhead – these acrobatic fighters have been putting on quite a show, with multiple double-headers reported. The fishing's been so good, Captain Scott's been having trouble wiping the grin off his face at the end of each day.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Ontario is home to some of the most sought-after freshwater game fish in North America. Let's break down the heavy hitters you'll be targeting on this trip:

Chinook Salmon: These brutes are the kings of the lake, and for good reason. Known for their powerful runs and hard-fighting spirit, hooking into a chinook is an experience you won't soon forget. They can grow to over 30 pounds, with the average fish in the 15-20 pound range. Fall is prime time for chinooks, but you can find them throughout the summer months as well.

Steelhead Trout: If you're after an acrobatic fight, steelhead are your ticket. These chrome-bright rainbows are known for their spectacular leaps and blistering runs. They typically range from 5-15 pounds and are most active in the cooler months, but summer steelhead fishing can be red hot too.

Brown Trout: Lake Ontario's browns are a special breed. These wary predators can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds not unheard of. They're most active in the spring and fall when the water's cooler, but can be caught year-round if you know where to look.

Lake Trout: The native heavyweights of Lake Ontario, lake trout are the deepwater specialists. They're built like torpedoes and fight like freight trains. While they can be caught throughout the year, spring and fall offer the best shot at trophy-sized fish in shallower water.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Lake Ontario that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Maybe it's the rush of battling a chrome-bright steelhead as it cartwheels across the surface. Or perhaps it's the anticipation as your rod doubles over with the weight of a trophy brown trout. For many, it's the simple pleasure of spending a day on the water with good company, surrounded by the beauty of one of North America's Great Lakes.

Learn more about the species

Brown Trout

Brown trout in Lake Ontario are a mix of brains and brawn, typically ranging from 5-15 pounds. These wary fish prefer cooler water and often hang near structure like sunken logs or rocky points. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they cruise shallower water. Browns are known for their selective feeding and can be challenging to catch, which is part of their appeal. When you do hook one, be ready for a determined fight. They're also excellent table fare. To up your odds, try trolling with stickbaits or spoons that mimic local baitfish. Here's a local secret: after a storm, fish the mouths of streams where brown trout gather to ambush disoriented baitfish being washed out.

Chinook Salmon

Chinook salmon, also called kings, are the heavyweights of Lake Ontario. These bruisers can top 30 pounds, though 15-20 pounders are more common. Look for them in deeper, cooler water, often suspended over underwater shelves or drop-offs. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer can be hot too if you know where to find the cold water. Chinooks are prized for their hard-fighting spirit - expect long runs and powerful dives. Their rich, orange flesh makes for excellent eating as well. When targeting kings, downriggers are your friend. Try running flashy spoons or cut bait behind attractors. One trick that works well: vary your trolling speed to trigger strikes from finicky fish.

Lake Trout

Lake trout are the true natives of Lake Ontario, often weighing 10-20 pounds with some topping 30. These deep-water specialists prefer the lake's cooler depths, usually found suspended over underwater humps or along steep drop-offs. Spring and fall are great times to target them as they move shallower, but summer can be productive if you fish deep. Lakers are known for their powerful, dogged fights - no acrobatics, just pure strength. Their firm, pink flesh is delicious smoked or grilled. When fishing for lake trout, vertical jigging with tube jigs or spoons can be deadly effective. Pro tip: use your electronics to find bait balls - lakers are often lurking nearby.

Steelhead Trout

Steelhead are the ocean-going cousins of rainbow trout, typically ranging from 5-15 pounds. They're built for power, with streamlined silver bodies that help them navigate both fresh and saltwater. In Lake Ontario, you'll find them cruising the cooler, deeper waters most of the year. Spring and fall are prime times to hook into these fighters as they move closer to shore. Anglers love targeting steelhead for their acrobatic leaps and long, determined runs. Their flesh is prized for its rich flavor too. When fishing for steelhead, try trolling with spoons or plugs near underwater structure. A local tip: on overcast days, don't be afraid to fish a bit shallower - these light-sensitive fish often move up in the water column.
