Lake Ontario is one out of five of the Great Lakes of North America, lying between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U. S. State of New York. Even though it happens to be the smallest one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario fishing is considered to be some of the best anywhere in the world.

Being the smallest Great Lake does not mean that it is tiny. It is still the 14th largest of all the lakes around the world at 193 miles long and 53 miles wide. It has a shoreline that stretches over 700 miles. There is plenty of room for any avid fisherman to stretch out and find a suitable spot for some fantastic fishing action. This body of water is famous for holding more than just a few top salmon and trout fishing records to be found in any fishing book.

Fishing in this lake is a year round affair with angling activities that range from ice fishing in winter months to the heavy catching late summer salmon runs. It is often said that there is never a bad time to be fishing here, although there are certain times around the year that will tend to bring the really big crowds for the most popular fish that can be found lurking about the lake.

This becomes the spot to discover among the biggest densities of brown trout anyplace upon the planet. Anglers will be especially attracted here throughout the month of April as brown trout inevitably get into the shallows. Toward the early spring, the spawning bait fish will amass here and there are always plenty of bigger fish that are ready and wishing to pour in to consume them. You are able to also find large schools of steel heads running the shallower waters around the lake this part in year.

Since many kinds of fish species are comparatively inactive around the winter months, they need to eat a lot when the waters begin to warm up. Even while the trout are by far the biggest attraction, an abundance of bass, panfish and walleyes will be a good enough cause for fishers to return every year. A multitude of outdoorsmen have made an annual custom out of going to Lake Ontario for spring fishing. As well as the trout, the perch, salmon and musky fill up the waters.

Commencing early in June and extending through August, people cluster here to try to put their hooks into the King Salmon. Early in the spring, these fish will weigh from a sizable 10 to 15 pounds. Nevertheless, summer and early fall sees them become behemoths that are typically above 40 pounds of pole flexing, line busting fish.

In September they begin their annual spawning runs and some fisherman, possibly exaggerating, claim you can walk across the Genesee River on their backs.

For anybody who has the impulse to attempt to catch the big ones, and plenty of them, Lake Ontario fishing is always a satisfying experience that keeps anglers returning time after time.
