It's not just fishing; it's an experience you'll be talking about for years to come.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Brook Trout: These beauties are the jewels of Lake Ontario. Known for their stunning colors and delicate taste, brook trout put up a spirited fight on light tackle. They're typically smaller than some of our other targets, but what they lack in size, they make up for in beauty and flavor. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys.
Rainbow Trout: Also called steelhead when they run up the tributaries, these acrobatic fighters will test your skills. They're known for their spectacular leaps and long runs. Expect to catch rainbows in the 5-10 pound range, with some topping 15 pounds. They're active year-round, but really fire up in the cooler months.
Coho Salmon: These silver bullets are speed demons in the water. Cohos typically range from 5-10 pounds and are absolute blast to catch. They're known for their sudden, powerful runs and tend to school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Late summer and early fall is prime time for cohos.
Chinook Salmon: The kings of Lake Ontario, chinooks (or king salmon) are the heavyweights we're often after. These brutes can top 30 pounds and will make your arms burn. They're at their peak in late summer and early fall when they start staging for their spawning run. Landing a big king is often the highlight of an angler's season.
Brown Trout: These crafty predators are a favorite among lake anglers. They're known for their hard strikes and dogged fights. Browns in Lake Ontario can grow huge, with 20-pounders not unheard of. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, especially near shore where they hunt for baitfish.

Learn more about the species
Brook Trout
Brook trout are small but feisty fish, usually 8-12 inches long. You'll find them in cool, clean streams and lakes around Lake Ontario. They like to hide near logs and rocks in shallow water. Fall is prime time for brookies as they get ready to spawn. Anglers love 'em for their beautiful colors and tasty meat. These guys put up a good fight for their size too. To catch brook trout, try small spinners or flies that mimic insects. My go-to trick is using a light 4-weight fly rod with a dry fly, casting upstream into likely hiding spots. Let it drift naturally with the current. Brook trout can be a bit skittish, so a stealthy approach is key. Wading quietly and keeping a low profile will boost your chances of landing one of these striking native trout.
Brown Trout
Brown trout in Lake Ontario are a mix of resident and migratory fish, typically ranging from 5-15 pounds. You'll find them near shore structures and drop-offs, especially in spring and fall when the water's cooler. Browns are known for being cunning and selective, making them a challenge that anglers love. They put up a stubborn fight and taste great on the plate. Early morning and late evening are prime times, as browns often feed in low light. Trolling with stickbaits or spoons can be effective, especially along shoreline breaks. For a real thrill, try night fishing with glow lures. Here's a tip: when trolling, vary your speed and direction. Browns often follow a lure before striking, and changes can trigger that bite. Remember, patience is key with browns - they can be finicky, but the reward is worth the wait.
Chinook Salmon
Chinook salmon, or "kings," are the heavyweights of Lake Ontario. These bruisers can top 30 pounds and stretch over 3 feet long. You'll find them in deep, open water during summer, moving closer to shore in fall. Anglers prize kings for their massive size and powerful fights - hooking one is like tying into a freight train. They're also excellent eating, with rich, flavorful meat. Peak season is late summer through fall as they prepare to spawn. Trolling with downriggers is the go-to method, using large spoons or cut bait. Early mornings and overcast days are often most productive. Here's a local trick: when kings are staging near river mouths, try slow-trolling with live alewives. The natural presentation can trigger strikes from finicky fish. Be ready for a battle - kings are known for long, powerful runs that'll test both your gear and your stamina.
Coho Salmon
Coho salmon in Lake Ontario average 5-10 pounds and 20-30 inches. You'll find them cruising the open lake in summer, then staging near river mouths in fall as they prepare to spawn. These silver bullets are known for their hard fights and acrobatic leaps. Anglers love targeting cohos for their aggressive strikes and tasty orange flesh. Best fishing is usually in late summer and early fall when they're fattening up before the spawn. Trolling with flashy spoons or plugs is effective, especially early morning or late evening. For a real thrill, try casting medium-sized spinners near shore when they're staging. Here's a tip: if you see jumping fish, cast beyond them and retrieve quickly. Cohos often chase down fast-moving lures. Keep your drag set light - these guys are known for sudden, powerful runs that can snap your line if you're not careful.
Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout in Lake Ontario typically run 20-30 inches and 3-10 pounds. You'll find them hanging out near shoreline structures and drop-offs, especially in cooler months. Spring and fall are prime seasons when the water's just right. Anglers love rainbows for their acrobatic fights - these fish will leap clear out of the water. They're also great eating, with firm pink flesh. To target rainbows, try trolling with spoons or plugs near river mouths. When fly fishing, nymphs work well in spring, while streamers are effective in fall. Here's a local tip: on calm days, look for rising fish and cast dry flies to them. Match the hatch and you could be in for some exciting topwater action. Remember, rainbows can be finicky, so don't be afraid to switch up your presentation if they're not biting.
