The majority of kings winter on the east end of the lake. That, along with the influx of water coming from Lake Erie through the Whelan canal and the Niagara river attracts a lot of bait fish. Your time is coming because they’re jealous of your late summer early fall fishery. Kings migrate west to east as the year goes on.
The with the introduction of the net pen projects, kings population for fall has spread out to various other rivers other than the salmon river. The lake is getting more even with population due to this project in my opinion.
