Top Catches This Season
Lake Ontario's been on fire lately, and our guests have been hauling in some beauties. The smallmouth bass fishing has been off the charts, with many anglers landing their personal bests. Walleye have been biting like crazy in the early mornings and late evenings. And let's not forget about those hard-fighting northern pike – they've been giving our guests a real workout! The perch action's been steady too, perfect for filling up the cooler for a tasty fish fry.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Smallmouth Bass: These bronzebacks are the kings of Lake Ontario. They're feisty, they fight hard, and they're a blast to catch. Fall's prime time for trophy smallies, with many topping 5 pounds. They love to hang around rocky structures and drop-offs, so we'll target those sweet spots. When a big one hits, hold on tight – they're known for some acrobatic jumps that'll get your heart racing!
Walleye: If you're after some of the best-tasting freshwater fish out there, walleye's your target. These golden-eyed predators are most active at dawn and dusk, so we'll time our fishing accordingly. They tend to school up in deeper water this time of year, following baitfish. Landing a big 'eye' is always a highlight – they put up a great fight and make for some fantastic fish tacos!
Northern Pike: These toothy critters are the ambush predators of Lake Ontario. They're fast, aggressive, and grow to impressive sizes. Fall's a great time to target pike as they feed heavily before winter. We'll troll or cast near weed beds and drop-offs where they like to hide. When a pike hits, it's like a freight train – be ready for some serious action!
American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – perch fishing is a ton of fun. These tasty little guys often school up in huge numbers, meaning non-stop action once we find them. They're perfect for anglers of all skill levels and make for some fantastic eating. Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of pulling up a stringer full of these bright yellow beauties.

Learn more about the species
American Yellow Perch
Yellow perch might be small, but they're a blast to catch and mighty tasty too. These striped panfish usually run 7-10 inches, though Lake Ontario monsters can hit 14. You'll find schools of them around weed beds, docks, and drop-offs. They're active year-round, but spring and fall are especially good. Light tackle is the way to go - ultralight rods with 4-pound test make even small perch feel like giants. Minnows, worms, or small jigs all work great. Perch are schooling fish, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. They're not big fighters, but their quick bites and tasty fillets make them a favorite. Kids especially love catching these little tigers. Here's a local secret: try fishing just off the bottom with a small jig tipped with a piece of worm. Slow, subtle jigging often outperforms still fishing when the perch are finicky. And don't forget to bring a bucket - you'll want to take some home for the frying pan!
Northern Pike
Northern pike are the wolves of Lake Ontario - long, toothy, and always hungry. These ambush predators can top 40 inches and 20 pounds. You'll find them lurking in weed beds and along drop-offs, ready to explode on prey. Spring and fall are prime pike seasons when they're in shallower water. Big flashy spoons, inline spinners, and large soft plastics are pike favorites. Be ready for aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Pike aren't known for jumping, but they'll give you an arm-numbing battle. Watch those teeth when unhooking - they're razor sharp. Pike fishing is all about the excitement of the hunt and that heart-stopping moment when a big one slams your lure. Here's a tip: On sunny days, try working the shady sides of weed beds. Pike often hang there waiting to ambush prey. And don't forget your steel leaders - pike can slice through regular line like butter.
Walleye
Walleye are the pride of Lake Ontario - tasty eating and a fun challenge to catch. These golden-eyed predators average 2-5 pounds but can top 10. They hang out near drop-offs and underwater structure, often in 15-30 foot depths. Dawn and dusk are prime feeding times. Trolling with crankbaits or drifting live bait rigs are go-to tactics. Walleye have sensitive eyes, so they feed best in low light or stained water. That's why night fishing can be so productive. They're not known for huge fights, but their subtle strikes and delicious fillets make up for it. Fall is an awesome time to target walleye as they fatten up for winter. Here's a local trick: troll S-curve patterns over mud flats adjacent to deep water. The erratic action often triggers bites from finicky fish. And don't forget to pack your fillet knife - walleye are some of the best eating freshwater fish around.
Smallmouth Bass
Smallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that'll give you a run for your money. These bronze beauties usually run 2-4 pounds, but can get up to 8 in Lake Ontario. Look for them around rocky areas, drop-offs, and submerged structure. They love crayfish, so crayfish-imitating lures are a good bet. Spring and fall are prime times when they're in shallower water. In summer, they go deeper seeking cooler temps. Early mornings and evenings are best for topwater action. Smallies are known for their acrobatics - be ready for some airtime when you hook one! They're also excellent eating if you want to keep a few. Pro tip: When the water's calm, try walking a Zara Spook across the surface. The side-to-side action drives smallmouth crazy. Just be ready to set the hook fast when they explode on it.
