Notice: Due to high water levels, a local state of emergency order for a “No Wake Zone” has been established for boats 1,000 feet from the Lake Ontario shoreline and tributaries. All motorized boats within 1,000 feet of the shoreline and within these waterways must operate at an idle speed.

 

Lake Ontario/Oswego River report:

 

According to Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing Charters:

 

We had to run deep to find them Tuesday but it didn’t take long and we were giving nine good ones a ride back to the marina! We even found one of the rare seldom seen Atlantic salmon this week.

According to Capt. Tom Burke of Cold Steel Sportfishing Charters:

 

Fishing has slowed slightly after the big northeast blow but plenty of fish are still finding their way to the cleaning table!

 

According to Oz Angling Tackle:

 

The lake fishing has been nothing short of amazing this summer. Many boats are having success early and often, “boxing out” just a few hours into trolling. The kings are biting voraciously on a number of different spoons, flies, meat rigs and flasher patterns. A lot of fish are being caught out beyond 300 feet of water, often suspending around 90-100 feet down. You can often expect them to be in a little shallower at sunrise and around sunset.
