Lake Ontario Afternoon Fishing Adventure
Ready for an epic afternoon on Lake Ontario? Join us for a 6-hour private fishing trip that'll have you chasing some of the lake's most prized catches. We're talking monster Chinook salmon, feisty Cohos, and hard-fighting trout. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, this trip is the perfect way to spend an afternoon on the water. We'll provide all the gear, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a lucky hat.
Trip Overview
We'll shove off at 1 PM, giving you plenty of time to fuel up beforehand. As we cruise out onto Lake Ontario, you'll get to soak in those stunning afternoon views while we head to our secret fishing spots. This isn't some cramped party boat situation – it's just you and up to three of your buddies on a private charter. That means more personal attention from your guide and more chances to reel in the big one. We'll be out for about 6 hours, so you'll have plenty of time to try different techniques and target various species. And don't worry if you're new to this – our experienced guides are here to show you the ropes and make sure you have a blast.
What to Expect on the Water
Once we hit our favorite fishing grounds, we'll get down to business. We'll be using a mix of trolling and casting techniques, depending on what's biting. Trolling is like the slow and steady approach – we'll drag lines behind the boat as we cruise, letting those lures dance in the water to attract the big boys. If the fish are feeling frisky, we might switch to casting, where you'll get to show off your skills (or learn some new ones). We provide all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. Our setup includes downriggers, which let us get our lines down deep where the big fish like to hang out. And don't sweat it if you're not sure how to use all this stuff – that's what your guide is for. We'll walk you through everything, from baiting your hook to landing your catch.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Lake Ontario isn't just any old fishing hole – it's a world-class fishery that keeps anglers coming back year after year. The afternoon light dancing on the water, the thrill of the fight when you hook into a monster Chinook, the satisfaction of learning new techniques from our expert guides – it all adds up to an experience you can't get anywhere else. Plus, with our private charter, you're not stuck following someone else's schedule. Want to focus on trophy salmon? No problem. Prefer to mix it up with some trout fishing? We've got you covered. It's your trip, and we're here to make it unforgettable.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Coho Salmon: These silver bullets are known for their acrobatic fights and delicious flavor. Typically weighing in between 5-10 pounds, Cohos are a blast to catch and perfect for anglers of all skill levels. They're most active in the spring and fall, but we can find them year-round in Lake Ontario. When a Coho hits your line, get ready for some serious action – these guys love to jump and run, giving you a fight you won't soon forget.
Chinook Salmon: Also known as King Salmon, these are the big boys of Lake Ontario. A mature Chinook can tip the scales at over 30 pounds, and they've got the power to match. Chinooks are most abundant in late summer and early fall when they start their spawning run. Hooking into one of these monsters is like trying to reel in a freight train – it's a true test of your fishing skills and stamina. Landing a Chinook is a bucket-list item for many anglers, and for good reason.
Brown Trout: Don't let the name fool you – these fish are anything but boring. Lake Ontario's brown trout are known for their cunning and fight. They average around 5-10 pounds but can grow much larger. Browns are most active in the cooler months, making them a perfect target for our afternoon trips when the water temperature is just right. These fish are known for their subtle strikes and powerful runs, so stay alert – the bite you've been waiting for might come when you least expect it.
Lake Trout: These deep-water dwellers are the marathon runners of Lake Ontario. Lakers can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon. We'll often target these guys using downriggers to get our lures down where they like to hang out. Lake trout fishing is all about finesse and patience. When you hook one, be prepared for a long, steady fight as you work to bring it up from the depths. The reward? A hard-earned catch and some of the best-eating fish in the lake.
Time to Book Your Spot

Whether you're looking to land your personal best, learn some new techniques, or just enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the water, our 6-hour private charter has got you covered. With all gear provided and expert guides at your service, all you need to do is show up ready for action. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your date.

Learn more about the species
Brown Trout
Brown trout in Lake Ontario typically run 8-24 inches and 1-9 pounds, though bigger ones are out there. They like cool, clear waters and hang around structure like submerged logs or rocky areas. Spring and fall are great times to target them, especially when water temps are between 55-65°F. Browns are known for their wariness and fighting spirit, making them a favorite among anglers looking for a challenge. They're also delicious, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Early mornings or evenings are prime times, as browns often feed more actively in low light. Try trolling with small spoons or crankbaits near shoreline structures. Here's a tip: when fly fishing, use nymphs or streamers that imitate local baitfish. Browns can be picky, so matching the hatch is key. Whether you're after a trophy or just enjoying the fight, brown trout offer a rewarding experience on Lake Ontario.
Chinook Salmon
Chinook salmon, or kings, are the largest salmon in Lake Ontario. They average 12-39 inches and 7-15 pounds, but 30-pounders aren't uncommon. These deep-water fish prefer cooler temperatures, so look for them near the thermocline or in deeper holes. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but summer can be good too if you go deep. Kings are prized for their hard-fighting ability and tasty orange-red meat. They're light-sensitive, so fish early mornings, evenings, or overcast days for best results. When trolling, use downriggers to get your lures down where the kings are holding. Large spoons, cut-bait rigs, or flasher-fly combos all work well. Here's a local tip: kings often hit on the turn, so make wide sweeps when trolling to trigger more strikes. Land a king, and you've got bragging rights and a fantastic meal.
Coho Salmon
Lake Ontario's coho salmon are acrobatic fighters, typically 12-30 inches long and 8-12 pounds. They prefer cooler, deeper waters and are most active in spring and fall. Cohos are known for their bright orange meat and excellent taste. Look for them near underwater structures or drop-offs. These silver bullets can jump up to 6 feet out of the water when hooked, so be ready for an exciting battle. To improve your chances, try trolling with bright-colored lures like chartreuse or pink spoons early in the morning or late evening when they're most active. Cohos respond well to fast retrieves, so don't be afraid to crank that reel. Remember, these fish have soft mouths, so set the hook gently to avoid tearing it. Whether you're after their fighting spirit or planning a delicious meal, coho salmon are a Lake Ontario favorite.
Lake Trout
Lake trout are the giants of Lake Ontario's char family, often reaching 15-40 pounds and 24-36 inches. These cold-water fish typically hang out in the lake's deeper, cooler areas. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look. Lakers are slow-growing and can live for decades, making a big catch truly special. They're prized for their firm, orange-pink flesh and the challenge they present. To find them, focus on underwater humps, drop-offs, and deep basins. Jigging is a go-to method - try Jigging Raps or blade baits that imitate baitfish. Here's a local trick: use your fish finder to locate schools of baitfish; lakers are often nearby. When you hook one, be patient. These powerful fish fight hard and can make long runs, so let them tire themselves out. Whether you're after a trophy or a tasty meal, lake trout are a Lake Ontario favorite.
