Their charter boats are well maintained and equipped with all the necessary electronics, downriggers, temperature probes, and tackle. Similarly, their drift boats are purpose built for anglers who want to fish the beautiful Salmon River.
The brown trout is Lake Ontario’s most abundant trophy. Large numbers of browns averaging 5 lbs. or more are common from late April through mid August. If big browns is all you want, July and August fishing is done further from shore with tackle that is a little bit larger because the fish are bigger.
Salmon season on Lake Ontario is in full swing during July, August and September. Fight with a couple of these powerful fish and you will see why Lake Ontario is so famous. Chinook salmon (kings) average 15 – 25 lbs. with some fish being in the mid 30’s or more. Lake Ontario also has a large number of coho salmon (silvers) available. They average 5 – 15 lbs. and are caught sporadically all summer long.
In the middle of October, the fall steelhead begin their annual migration into the streams. Action for these huge rainbows is excellent from October through December and again from March through early May. Mid-winter steelhead fishing can be good but it is greatly dependent on fishable weather conditions. Spin-fishing, fly fishing, and back-trolling from a driftboat all work well to catch these trophy fish. However, weather and water levels dictate which techniques will be most productive on a given day.
Strike Zone Charters has been the premier charter and guide service on the Eastern end of Lake Ontario since 1976. If you want to spend the day catching trophy salmon, brown trout, lake trout, steelhead, small and largemouth bass, and Walleye, Strike Zone Fishing has you covered!
