Extra large landing nets in sound condition won't let you down at the moment of truth. In recent years, the use of flashers trailed by strips of herring fished in rotating plastic bait heads have become the most popular salmon fishing technique in eastern Lake Ontario. Flashers can be purchased in most local sport shops along with the cut bait and plastic bait heads you'll need to fish them properly. Spoons in a variety of colors and sizes, all available at local shops, are also great baits for midsummer kings. Oswego County is well known for its excellent accommodations for anglers.
