So many fish…that don’t want to bite.

: Check out this HUGE 13.5 lb. Brown. Great job on the fish of a lifetime.

: Another proud Lake Ontario fisherman.

: Nice job Tommy. Thank you and hope to see you soon.

To say that the last couple of days have been difficult, would be an understatement. The strange thing, is that we have all the Brown Trout that we could ever ask for. Each boat is marking hundreds of fish each trip. The bait is there too. The weird weather, lots of storms, has them in a strange mood. Oh yeah! We are also under a full moon, which never helps when we are fishing for trout. Both boats did manage to catch fish each day, but we really had to work for them. Can’t wait for the weather to settle down. They will pay.

Fishing still good. But not great.

: Alex with his first Lake Ontario Brown Trout.

: A great kid, deserves a great fish.

: Check out this monster 35″ Steelie. This is the fish of a lifetime. Great job Kevin.

: We carefully tried to pick the perfect day for these guys. With great weather and 8 fish landed, I think we came close.

: Till the Salmon show up, I guess we will have to keep catching brown’s like this one.

Wednesday was a lot of fun. We had a great time fishing with the Hurd family. We are spending our time in the same spot each day, Catfish Creek to the High Rocks. The fishing has been ok, but if the weather would stabilize, and the thermocline would sit still, the fishing would even get better. Glow Michigan’s and Fishlander’s off the riggers and wire diver’s have worked well. The smaller sized YNBK has been the best once the sun gets up.

Heavy rain. Heavy fish.

To say that we got some rain early in the week… would be an understatement. Sunday, the fishing was good, until the rain came. After the downpour started, we didn’t do much. Before that, the fish bit well. With all the rain we have gotten this year, we should be in good shape on the river. Plenty of water to float with drift boats. We have been in 85 - 100 ft. of water neat Catfish Creek for a week now and it is loaded with fish and bait. Michigan Stingers off the rigs and on divers have worked well.

: Bob… that 14lb. brown is probably the largest I have seen………NOT! It is a great fish though. You should be proud. Don’t forget to brag.

: That’s a great fish Bob. Not as big as the other Bob’s…..but still very nice.

: The smile says it all.

Early summer brown’s

Filed under: Fishing Reports

: Another proud fisherman!

: The kid’s were great. After a slow first day, on day two, they were rewarded with a cooler full of brown’s.

: Great job. A Brown Trout trip in June wasn’t enough for Mr. Keaton. He had to come back to tackle some more fish in July. Thanx Johnny!

: Take a kid fishing. It’s fun.

Well, summer has started. The brown’s have moved off shore and so have we. On Friday and Saturday, the fishing was up and down. Down on Friday and Up in Saturday. We worked hard for a couple of fish on Friday. Thursday we had high wind and couldn’t get our trips out. That wind moved the bait and fish and messed up the temperature. Saturday, all was good. Both boats did very well. Were in for some very good Brown Trout fishing for the next month or so.

: First time Lake Ontario fisherman Pete and Luke,with there first Brown Trout. A double!

: The proud dad’s got in on the action too, landing another brown and a King.

Well, we got some good old fashioned summertime thunderstorms this weekend. We were unable to complete any of our trips as a result of them. Saturday afternoon actually started out well with 3 browns, a two year old Salmon and another shaker King in the first couple of hours and then… the sky lit up and we went in. Sunday was much worse as far as the fishing and the weather was the same. The fish and bait are close to home, 60 - 80 ft. of water in front of the Salmon River. Some Salmon are also being caught a little deeper, 160 - 180 ft. of water.

: The happy couple with an early morning trout.

: Trout like this are proof of what an awesome fishery we have.

: We have the best Brown Trout fishing in the country. End of discussion!

: Great job Germain.

: The brown’s came fast once we located them.

: After catching a half dozen brown’s early, we headed deep for something different. Soon we were rewarded with this beautiful steelie.

: This ironhead hit an Ice frog down 80 ft., and was 3 ft. in the air before we could get to the rod.

: This Steelhead looked like it just came out of the river. Still skinny and trying to put weight back on.

Today was cool. Germain, from Montreal, surprised his wife of 30 yrs. with a fishing trip. We started out for Brown Trout and then went deep in search of some exotics ( Salmon, Steelhead etc..). They landed 8 beautiful fish. The brown’s were in 45 - 65 ft. of water up off Drowned Island, and the steelies came over deeper water, 150 - 240 ft. of water. The Hammer Michigan and green glow Fishlander spoons worked well early for the Brown Trout. We also hit a few on a gold-blue nose Michigan off 7 colors of lead and a glow- blue nosed Michigan off the wire. The Steelhead and 2 small kings all came on an Ice frog Michigan. Great job guy’s and here is to another 30 yrs..

Back up North for Brown’s. They’re still there.

: Another happy customer!

: Here are 4 of the 10 trout landed on Sunday. Great job guy’s.

: We didn’t see a lot of bait in this area of the lake, but as you can see by the size of these trout, they are well fed.

We headed back up the shore to Southwick State Park to see if the trout from a couple of weeks ago were still there. They were. We fished 48 - 65 ft. of water and caught fish from 22 ft. - 42 ft. down on riggers, leadcore ( 6 - 7 colors ) and wire divers. Michigan stingers were again the prefered bait. It’s a long trip. This time of year, we spend most of our time only 3 - 6 miles from port. The run is well worth it.

Remember…take kid’s fishing.

Well, we had a blast on Friday and Saturday. A grandfather, two grandson’s and big Lake Ontario Brown Trout. What a combination. Though the fishing was better on Friday, we did manage to land some on Saturday as well. Actually the kid’s landed 13 of the 14 fish over the two day period. The only reason Johnny was able to land one was because the two boy’s fell asleep. We fished from 27ft. of water to 55ft. of water from the Salmon River to the Silo on the south shore on both days. Both brown’s and bait were scattered. The trout did bite well when we could find them. Think we will head back up North tomorrow and check it out.
