Trolling for king salmon on Lake Ontario has been alot tougher the last few days. We're working hard for a few fish. The kings have been around but they've been tough to catch. Brown trout and steelheads have been much more cooperative. Spoons run 50-60' down off the riggers in 70-80' of water seems to do the trick. Salmon have been scattered from 100' out to 500' w/ the deeper water being slightly more productive then in close. Spoons and dodger/fly combos have been working off the riggers 70-90' down. August is far and away the best month for kings so certainly expect things to turn back around soon enough.
