Title: Lake Ontario
Post by: Still Running on April 24, 2008, 07:10:44 AM
Anyone go up to Lake Ontario in the fall for the Salmon run? I go up at the end of august and weekends after that. I fish the lake when the fish are 5 miles out. Let me know maybe we can hook up.

Do you charter a boat or use your own?

I go up every year in early August at the start of the lake fishery.   Last few years have been pretty good, trolling salmon flies  80 - 150 feet down in the 550-600 foot deep range.
  I'd love to get up there later in August and Sept but family vacations and kid back in school makes it tough.

I have the same problem. I leave Friday after work and back on Sunday, unless the kids are off, then I stay Monday. I leave the boat and RV up there. They dont charge me if I am not there. I just pay for the nights Im there.

Sounds like a sweet deal.  How many can you take on your boat comfortably?   I'd like to see if I can get a  2nd weekend to go up there. Sometime between Labor day weekend and my tuna trip 3rd weekend in Sept.
   Where do you launch?  Oswego,Mexico etc?

I am trying to get a slip on the Salmon river while I am up there. This way I dont have to deal with the laucnh.

Let me if anyone wants to go up. I just need to know what weekends people want to go so I don't end up with too many people. Mid Sept is nice. If the wind is blowing alot and cant get out on the lake, can always fish the river. When I fish the river I only fish from the throwing a spoon. But if you go you cant tell anyone what spoon you are using. LOL Only a few up there know about it and if everyone finds out it will turn into a mass ball of line, because it out fishes anything elese when the fish are in the river.
