  Fishing Report Update - March 23 Alright let's catch up on things There has been a few decent days over the last week or so, where anglers have been able to get out on Lake Ontario to do some trolling. There's been good numbers of Brown Trout being caught as well as some Atlantic Salmon in the shallows. We're talking 8-20 FOW. As usual, a mix of small stick baits & spoons are working.

The Brown Trout & Rainbow Trout (aka Steelhead) are moving in now behind the Salmon in the creeks, rivers & harbors along Lake Ontario. Depending on location, either float fishing or bottom bouncing 3-way rigs will best good techniques. The next few weeks eggs patterns will work best.
