King salmon fishing on Lake Ontario continues to be productive. It's certainly not great but consistent action is the best way to describe it. Most trips we are taking 5-10 hits landing 3-6 salmon. The size of the king salmon has been impressive this season. 20-25 pound kings have been common. Trolling just north of the Salmon River off the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in 120-150' has been our go to fishing grounds. Hits have been coming 90-110' down on flasher/fly combos. A few salmon and steelhead have taking on mag stinger spoons run 20-30' behind the ball. Brown trout fishing has been very good for those looking for constant action. The trout have been around 3-6 pounds and there's plenty of them. A few kings have also been spotted in the Salmon River up to the hatchery. We have August 5,7,10,11,13,14,16,20,24,27,30 open for morning charters and almost all the afternoons for August are open. Our rates are the most reasonable on Lake Ontario. September and October dates are filling in fast so give us a ring and get in on the action.

Thanks for checking us out!
