Lake Ontario Fishing Reports

Chaumont is a great fishery. Captain Dave took us all over the channel to give us an opportunity for a monster.

There is a large variety of fish here. Tall to the locals about specific places and bate/lures for the fish you want to catch.

I would recommend anyone that love to fish. Please get to OSwego and enjoy this amazing experience!

Book with Captain Jim and Jerry! Oh! and bring a cooler for all the fish!

Be prepared for the weather, the Captain is great with instruction if you listen and the fish are biting you will catch fish. I listened learned and had a great experience despite the weather,

The King Salmon were biting, so 11 of our 12 fish were those, but our 11-year-old also caught a nice Lake Trout.

Olcott is a small friendly town. Walk around, enjoy the sun, and speak with the locals..... if you want to get a feel for current fishing conditions. I spoke with a few guys at The Time Out Bar & Grill and Big Fatties. Everyone was friendly and had good things to say about Captain Kurt (Stalker Charters). We caught a bunch of fish and had a great time. We were in shorts & t-shirts the entire time. Weather was perfect. Not a bad idea to bring a hoodie or long pants just in case.

To be patient while fishing because every day is definitely different. It may have some periods of waiting for a bite, but the Captain and 1st mate will never stop searching for a great spot.

The fishing at Olcott has been very good. The salmon have been staying in the Olcott area and are hitting with some consistency. Last summer and so far in 2019, fishing has been the best it has been in years. First time fishermen will be surprised at how strong the salmon are and the tremendous, drag-screaming runs by these fish.

Pick an experanced Captian like Captian Anthony Ellis who has the right equiptment and knowhow to put you on the fish and ask his advice if you are not sure what to do He will be a big help.

Yes! No one can guarantee that the weather will cooperate, but the diverse fishery is first class.

The spring is for trout and maybe a stray Salmon here or there if you go to Oswego you will catch a fish. The Fall season is for Salmon both seasons are an incredible time.

Dress for weather...Trust your guide Our guide Paul he knows how to catch fish!!

Book a drift boat trip and learn the techniques of fishing for those big fish. Also, you get a first hand view of the river.

Do some research on the weather the water temperature. If you are booking this kind of tour make sure you ask your captain questions. They will prepare you.

It was a lot of fun and the salmon were biting. Kings were all around and the big ones were biting too.

We had some rough waters. The Capt did say a few trips were cancelled during the week leading up to ours. We still had a great time!

Just come prepared for the weather just in case, but over all you don't need to bring anything for the boat it is all there for you, just bring yourself and food and drink.

Sunscreen, plenty of refreshments to keep hydrated and make sure to take the appropriate measures if you get seasick. Also make sure you get your fishing license before you get onto the boat

The Kings are stocked at this point in the lake greatly improving the catch. Hire a knowledgeable and experienced Captain.
