The salmon bite on Lake Ontario’s Canadian waters has been hot. However, the bite didn’t start off great in late spring due to colder than normal lake temperatures. The season got off to a traditionally late start. I prefer to call it fashionably late. The good news is action picked up almost overnight in the […]

Lake Ontario salmon season is upon us in the GTA and fishing has been good. We’ve been fortunate to have a great spring and early summer bite.
By: Ted Kessler Our salmon have changed their habits this year. Traditionally, we aim to cure an orangey-pinkish egg, but this year they want more of a darker red/pink color. It’s been kind of interesting as all the guides are experiencing this. We all know how important it is to have well-cured eggs, but this […]
By: Kevin Davis This year has been the best king salmon fishing ever on Lake Ontario. We are catching all year classes and some large salmon. There’s big numbers this year. It’s real good. These fish are anywhere from three pounds to 25 pounds. Doubles and triples are everyday occurrences. This is lake wide, too, […]
By: Andy Bliss This year will go down as one of the greatest years for salmon fishing on Lake Ontario and it doesn’t seem to want to slow down. We’ve had great numbers, large fish and action on multiple year classes all season. It’s also going down as the season that will never end. We […]

By: Bojan Zivkovic Salmon season has been productive on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Trollers chasing Chinook, coho and steelhead in the depths been hooking good numbers of fish, and those big Chinook are averaging more than 20 pounds. I’ve noticed a healthy population of baitfish. This is a good sign of a healthy […]
By: Bojan Zivkovic Having seen quite a few floats drop thus far I can officially say salmon season has begun in harbors, rivers and creeks of Southwestern Ontario. We have seen a significant drop in temperatures and finally got a bit of rain, which brought in a wave of staging salmon that have been hovering […]
By: Andy Bliss During the spring and early summer the salmon on Lake Ontario can be anywhere. Normally, the majority are in the west/central part of the lake. However, as their biological clock starts ticking many head home to the Salmon River corridor. That time is now. Like clockwork the eastern end of Lake Ontario […]
