The party never returned. In another instance, a charter group was complaining about their fall trip the previous year and emphasized the fact that they wanted to catch BIG kings. We fail to give Lake Ontario the respect it deserves. Its reputation has been marred and we're always the first to criticize when something appears to go wrong. But fish for fish, especially when it comes to salmon and trout, Lake Ontario is still the body of water to beat for trophies and for numbers.
Many people still gauge the success of their fishing outings on how big and how many.
If that's the case, the last two years on Lake Ontario should be filled with fish stories. Harvest rates were the second highest on record. Another success story was with steelhead trout.
