WANTED: Lake Ontario Fishing Report

Post by **Tricky** » Tue Jul 15, 2008 3:45 pm

I'm thinking of heading to Picton area to try for some rainbows or steelhead and whatever other salmon might be hitting? It's been years since I've gone. Anyone been in and around there lately? Any luck? Tackle tips, depth ranges, etc.?

Thanks.

Cant say I have fished the area. You may want to consider the extra drive and go to Port Hope. Mos folks have been doing well there for bows and salmon.

Thanks guys... I'm thinking of trying the Main Duck Island area as Port Hope is too far for me. I'll check out that link.

Tricky,

I am on a salmon charter out of Port Hope on the 12th of August.
It`s my treat to my father for his 64th B-day and also my wedding anniversary present for my wife.

I fished out of Picton in 2006. Caught a nice 16lber. I can`t post pics on this site though for some reason!

Not to make excuses but we fished the day after a torrential storm and it really shut it down. Most boats had only 1 or 2 fish, but we marked a ton!

Still had fun though!

Here is a link to another fishing site that concentrates more in that neck of the woods.

From all reports I have had/ talking to a few local fisherman, it appears that the Chinooks have not yet arrived in big numbers. Rainbows and browns are being taken as well as the odd Chinook - just not too many or too big. I'll bet the Last week of July/1st week of Aug will be prime time.

Good luck.
