KING SALMON (Staging) – Great Fishing Opportunity on Lake Ontario!

02. 25. 18

One of the most written about time frames to fish King Salmon on Lake Ontario is the Staging Time frame. This time period occurs from mid- August through mid-September.

This gives anglers a unique opportunity to target them (in mass) before they run the tributaries to spawn. [Read More]

June – A Great Month for GIANT Lake Trout!

03. 23. 17
