Exactly! This happens all the time. Taking junk lines out of our spreads after limiting on steelhead was a bonehead comment and shows lack of knowledge about lake trolling.....

If you fished the lake, (which it is obvious that you don't) you would know that July and August on most years, the kings move offshore due to upwellings. The inside waters are not stable and the fish move offshore to seek stable water. When they move offshore, captains have to move with the fish and go offshore to keep their clients happy. Steelhead are mostly caught as a by catch and some will not survive. They are put in the cooler instead of being tossed back to float. Taking junk lines out of the water to keep from catching more steelhead is absurd. Kings and steelhead can be caught in the same water. If you were fishing a trib and caught a steelhead that died and kept it, would you stop fishing that stretch of water for browns?

The lake temp is all the same now and it would be hard to pin point them. A big number of them are in the tribs.

A lot of captains do not target them regularly. When fishing gets tough for kings, browns and lakers, they are a back up plan. Steelhead spending more time in the tribs than the lake depends on the trib. Some steelhead come in mid winter and leave in March / April. Some of the bigger tribs (Niagara River , Salmon River) they spend more time but small tribs they are in and out. Having more steelhead in the lake in the summer puts more stress on the bait population. Yes they eat a wider variety of food but more fish = more predation on alewife.

Well Done Tom! Hopefully it will bring you good karma!

Fish browns like its March. They will be there.

Don’t worry Les. We took care of him. Keith shot him a doe yesterday. I took it to the butcher for him. Tomorrow I am picking him up and taking him over to pick it up. It’s up to someone else to cook it and feed him! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Call before you go! They do not take venison from 11-2 because the place is small and it draws big crowds for lunch. He also stops taking meat when he gets over loaded. He gets caught up and then takes meat again. You can also bring him meat all year. I bring them meat that I have in the freezer in the summer when my supply of Italian sausage or pepperoni sticks gets low. I dropped 33.5lbs off today. He said they were getting slammed but still accepting meat. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
