Fishing Calendar King Salmon Lake Trolling (May - Sep) River Drifting (Sep - Oct) These fish are available in the spring, from mid April till mid-May trolling just off shore. They congregate at the mouth of the Niagara River. In the past most of the spring derby winning fish have come from this area, including this years grand prize $10.000. Then they move offshore as much as fifteen miles into 500 ft of water. In the fall the giant Kings return to the mouth of the river once again this time they are at their heaviest weight from feeding in the open waters of Lake Ontario. The fish are still silver in color and full of fight. Here we troll for them using the cut-bait method; it's the best Salmon fishing of the year. It starts the second week in August and goes to the second week in September. Once the Salmon run begins in the river we drift fish for them up in the famous Devils Hole area of the river. The Salmon range from 10 to 30 lbs. It starts the middle of September and goes until the middle of October.
