Fair Haven....Helpful Information?

[evanspenn]

Hello fellow fisherman. PA fisherman taking my once a year fishing vacation on Lake Ontario from June 23rd to June 30th. I'm in need of help and tips on how to fish for Trout and Salmon and am fishing out of Fair Haven NY.

Any help provided would be greatly appreciated and I was looking for advice on the following subjects.

By the way! If you own a tackle shop....set me up. I need tackle!

What Salmon are active now, and at what depths can I find them...in how many feet of water?

What lures, flies, flashers, spinner, spoons, or cut bait holders should I try including glow colors for Salmon fishing? Where can I buy them (good local bait and tackle shop) and what specific brands, sizes and colors should I use?

Anything special such as optimal trolling speed that I should do for Salmon fishing with my downriggers, or should I use another method of fishing.

What Trout are active now and at what depths can I find them...in how many feet of water?

What color lures, flies, flashers, spinner, spoons, or cut bait holders should I try including glow colors for Trout fishing? Where can I buy them (good local bait and tackle shop) and what specific brands, sizes and colors should I use?

What radio channel should I listen to for chatter?

Are there any tow services or calls that can be made if I get stranded with a failed motor?

Are there any other considerations that I should take such as another good species to fish for (i.e. Walleye, Northerns, etc.) or certain places I should go?

Any help is greatly appreciated and there are some very nice fish posted on this page.

Tight lines and thanks!

Well for one thing you just asked to much for one post,but if you go back about a month and go throught most of the past posts you will get all the info. you can stand for one vacation. when you get to town stop at Screwy Louies bait and tackle its on the main street. The browns are hot and with a little luck you should hit a few kings. Enjoy your vacation and good luck with the fishing.

Like W.W.IV. said, it's a lot of info in one post. You've only got a short time before you get to the lake and there's an awful lot to try to learn in a few days. I would honestly suggest you tie up with someone who charters out of Fair Haven for your first day there. When you go out, tell him you are only there for the week and you want to learn as much as you can. Pay attention to what speed you are going, what depths the fish are at, lures used that are catching fish, and everything else about your day out. It might cost you a few bucks, but it's the best money spent when you figure you're going to catch fish vs not catching fish on your own. Salmon trolling is not an easy way of fishing, but when you hear that reel screaming, you'll be hooked.

Your tips are appreciated and I plan on trying a charter when I get up there to see what they're doing.

I had a one day visit to Fair Haven last labor day before the Hurricane and got a tip or two at Screwy Louie's and set out for Salmon and got two screaming reels which produced one King Salmon!

Sorry about alll the questions...I sometimes get carried but will review past posts for good tips on how to fill the freezer.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
