I hit the Salmon River today with Kevin and Jaime. We had another great day today. The fish are still pushing up the River from Lake Ontario everyday. We only caught kings today, no cohos or trout to the shore. The action was pretty much non-stop. I think I can speak for the other guys [...]
Lake Ontario Fishing
Salmon River Kings and Cohos, 09/28/12
As it turns out, I enjoy fishing more than work. Go figure. I took today off and fished the lower end of the Salmon River with a few other fine fellows. We had a pretty stellar day. The number and size of fish coming into the River from Lake Ontario is amazing. We need rain [...]
Toronto’s Latest Solution to the Fishing Battle: A Downtown Pier?
Fishing in downtown Toronto has been the source for a lot of headaches for anglers, regulators and residents the past few weeks. First, based on about six complaints, they shut down a section of the waterfront to fishing. It took about a day for them to re-open the area, after city officials found out about [...]
Rare Minnow Discovered in North Carolina
The bridal shiner has not been seen since the 1960s in the Chowan River Basin and was never spotted in those waters in North Carolina, until now. On May 1, Tyler Black, a fisheries biologist, and Michael Young, a fisheries technician, were surveying Deep Swamp Branch in Hertford County looking for the rare Chowanoke crayfish. What they did find [...]
Toronto Mayor Tosses Out Fishing Ban
As quick as the No Fishing signs went up in downtown Toronto, they have been taken down.

Toronto Shuts Down City Fishing
There are an estimated 100,000 anglers in Toronto who, for years, enjoyed fishing the city-owned stretch of water along the city’s Lake Ontario waterfront. But one elderly couple, a rower, and about four more complaints in “recent years” have suddenly shut down fishing for a 1-plus-mile stretch. Anglers were greeted with “No Fishing” signs on [...]
For the Second Year in a Row, New York Town is Named the Best Fishing Town in America
At first I thought leaving New York for Florida was a great fishing decision, but maybe I should have stayed in Upstate. For the second year in a row, the World Fishing Network named a New York town as the best place to be a fish in America. Last year it was Roscoe, and it [...]

For the second year in a row, someone has let the cat out of the bag, and we know the winner of World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town ahead of their official June 6 release date, we think.

May 8th Lake Ontario Kings Salmon
Fished on my friend Mark Ledden of Driftwater Anglers on his lake boat the other day and did phenomenal on Kings Salmon. We landed 12 Kings and hooked up on 20 in just half a day on Lake Ontario. The King bite has been unreal this spring and isn’t showing any signs of slowing, if [...]
May 5th Steelhead and Smallmouth Bass on the Salmon River
The Salmon River is running high right now at 1500cfs and its probably the worst thing for the steelhead fishing. Most of the fish are blowing back out to Lake Ontario but we managed to scratch out three today and a few nice smallmouth as well! I also went trout fishing the other day on [...]
