Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"Thanks Scott. Had a blast" - Joseph

"Dear Scott & Amy. Our trip was July18th with 2 of my grandsons and my son in law also named Scott. We did the half day morning trip and I had a blast. I've been to Point Breeze the last 10 years may diff boats & crews. This was the first for my grandsons. I just wanted them to catch 1 salmon each to get an idea of the power of these fish. Well they each got 2 and Bud got both of his on the 500 long line. I'm getting old and don't know if I'll make the trip from MD again. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated the way you and Amy interacted with the boys. They enjoyed loading the down rigger, learning about the electronics and being able to grab a rod when a fish hit. That's fishing!!! Thanks for the memories. Waiting for the photos." - Richard

Species You'll Want to Hook

Chinook Salmon: These are the kings of Lake Ontario, and for good reason. Chinooks, or "Kings" as the locals call them, can tip the scales at over 30 pounds. They're hard fighters, known for their powerful runs and head shakes. Late summer and early fall are prime time for these bruisers, when they start their spawning run. Hooking into a big Chinook is an experience you won't forget - it's like trying to reel in a freight train!

Brown Trout: Lake Ontario's browns are a favorite among anglers for their cunning and beauty. These fish love cooler water, so spring and fall are your best bets. They're known for their spotted patterns and can grow to impressive sizes in the lake. Browns are selective feeders, which makes catching them a real challenge and a true trophy when you do.

Lake Trout: These deep-water dwellers are the native heavyweights of Lake Ontario. They prefer the colder, deeper parts of the lake, so you'll often be fishing near the bottom. Lake trout are slow-growing but long-lived, meaning the big ones you catch could be decades old. They're prized for their firm, orange flesh and put up a stubborn fight all the way to the net.

Rainbow Trout (Steelhead): If you're after an acrobatic fight, steelhead are your target. These fish are known for their spectacular leaps and blistering runs. In Lake Ontario, steelhead can be caught year-round, but they're especially active in the cooler months. They're not just fighters; they're also gorgeous fish with their signature pink stripe. Landing a steelhead is always a highlight of any Lake Ontario trip.

Learn more about the species

Brown Trout

Browns in Lake Ontario are wily predators, typically 5-10 pounds but with trophy potential. These golden-flanked beauties prefer cooler water, so look for them near shore in spring and fall, or out deep during summer. Structure like drop-offs and submerged points are brown trout magnets. Early morning and evening offer peak activity. Anglers prize browns for their smart nature and selective feeding - fooling one is a real accomplishment. Their firm, orange flesh is top-notch eating too. To up your chances, try trolling with smaller stickbaits or spoons near bottom. Browns often hold tight to structure, so precise presentation is key. A local tip: after a storm, fish the mudlines where browns ambush disoriented baitfish.

Chinook Salmon

King salmon are the heavyweights of Lake Ontario, often topping 20-30 pounds. These powerful fish cruise the open lake, following bait schools and temperature breaks. Early summer through fall is prime time, with fish staging near river mouths as spawning approaches. Anglers target kings for their hard-fighting nature and delicious meat. You'll often find them suspended in the water column or hugging bottom structure. Trolling with downriggers is the go-to method, using flashers and flies or cut bait. For a real thrill, try jigging when fish are concentrated. One local trick: on sunny days, run your baits deeper and use darker colors to entice bites from these light-sensitive predators.

Lake Trout

Lakers are the true natives of Lake Ontario, thriving in its cold, deep waters. Most run 5-15 pounds, but 20-pounders aren't uncommon. You'll find them suspended over deep basins or hugging underwater shelves and humps. Spring and fall, when water temperatures mix, offer the best action as lakers roam more freely. Anglers target them for their hard-fighting nature and rich, oily meat that's perfect for smoking. Jigging is deadly effective - try tube jigs or blade baits worked slowly along the bottom. For a different approach, troll with downriggers using large spoons or cut bait. One guide trick: use your electronics to find bait balls, as lake trout are often lurking nearby.

Steelhead Trout

Steelhead are the sea-run version of rainbow trout, typically 24-30 inches long and packing a serious punch. These chrome-bright fighters migrate between Lake Ontario and its tributaries. You'll often find them hanging around river mouths or following bait schools in open water. Spring and fall offer prime fishing as steelhead move in and out of rivers. Anglers love targeting them for their acrobatic leaps and blistering runs. Their firm, pink flesh makes for excellent table fare too. To boost your odds, try slow-trolling with downriggers using smaller spoons or plugs that mimic local baitfish. These fish can be finicky, so matching your presentation to what they're naturally feeding on is key.
