Ontario Fishing Reports

Lake Ontario Fishing

The chinook salmon (king salmon) bite is starting to heat up in Lake Ontario. Early morning anglers move stealthily to pick up kings in 50-70 feet of water (fow). At day break, salmon move to deeper waters of 70-140 fow. By late morning, trollers are running gear 90-120 feet down over 150-250 fow. It seems the big mature kings are coming deep and near the bottom. Trolling with spoons or flasher and fly combos is the way to go. Pressure has been light, but the opportunity to catch near shore brown trout is good. Concentrate efforts inside 50 fow with spoons or stickbaits run near the bottom.

Lake Ontario Fishing

Lake Of The Woods Ontario Fishing

The walleye bite is strong, The best approach has been to anchor and use a gold jig and frozen shiner.

Lake of the Woods

Lake Huron Ontario Fishing

Salmon and Coho are being taken using body baits and small Pro King lures. Lake Trout are also being taken on the same lures.

Lake Erie Ontario Fishing

Smallmouth bass continue to be the main attraction for anglers fishing Lake Erie, its tributaries and harbors. Nearshore reef areas are a good bet for anglers searching for smallmouth bass. Concentrate efforts in 10-25 feet of water (fow) around reefs, shoals, rock piles and other structure.  In shallow areas, casting and retrieving of lures such as tube jigs, twister tails and deep-diving stickbaits/crankbaits are productive. A drop shot rig combined with a live minnows or tube jig works well in deeper water.

Rainy Lake Ontario Fishing

Rainy Lake is producing large northern pike on a regular basis, and action will likely improve as water temperatures continue to rise. Most pike have been pulled from the weedy edges of the shallow bays on crankbaits.  Walleye are responding best to jig and minnow combinations.

Lake Superior Ontario Fishing

Salmon and trout anglers report the most success using pink X-raps and stick baits, and chartreuse or pink spoons. The larger lake trout have been found in the shallow waters when trolling. The steelhead and kamloop bite is mostly over in the rivers since most fish are done spawning and have moved back into the main lake.

Ontario Walleye Fishing Tips

In the Spring, the best way to catch a trophy Ontario Walleye is to troll along the shoreline just before dark or at day-break.  In the Summer when it gets hot in Ontario, many of the big trophy Walleyes go deep. In this case, you should try drifting really slowly in the deep water.  They can still be taken in the early morning or late evening close to shore but during the day, try trolling really slow with a 3-way swivel rig and a worm harness. 15 feet deep is a good place to start while trolling along deep drop-offs or deep weed beds.  In springtime Ontario walleye will take almost any bait or lure, but may be more challenging to catch through the summer months. Fall in Ontario often brings another peak of walleye feeding activity.  Casting or trolling with spinners or minnow-imitating plugs is a good bet. Special worm harness rigs of spinners and beads are often trolled. Jigs, either traditional bucktails, or tipped with any of the modern plastics, a piece of worm or minnow are Ontario walleye angling favorites.
