A number of county web sites offer good information on fishing in the region, including bait shops, guides, etc. A few examples are: Onondaga County (fishonondagacounty.com); Oswego County (visitoswegocounty.com); and Wayne County (waynecountytourism.com). Oswego and Wayne counties also have a weekly fishing hotline on their web page as well.
 

April 1st was the start of the new Freshwater Fishing Regulation Guide, April 1, 2017-March 31, 2018. You can obtain a copy from a licensing agent or view it at Summary of Freshwater Fishing Regulations.
 

Region 7:

Lake Ontario
The strong winds we had last weekend "scattered" the salmon around and they are being found in 150 to 650 feet of water. Basically, keep covering water till you mark fish. When found, the Chinook salmon fishing continues to be very good with cut-bait, and flasher and flies producing the most action. Try for smallmouth bass in 20 feet of water with crayfish, tube jigs or drop-shot rigs.
