Seasons do vary along the shore lines of Lake Ontario. Usually the Niagara fishing charters that operate will start catching salmon and trout in the early spring in the Niagara region. Generally Lake Ontario in the Niagara region warms up first. This is caused by the warmer waters from Lake Erie flowing down the various canals and dumping warmer waters in Lake Ontario. With this section of Lake Ontario heating up first, this will in turn attract huge schools of various species of baitfish. With large schools of active baitfish in the area, you will in turn get huge schools of salmon and trout on a major feeding frenzy in the area too. This factor can pretty much guarantee an amazing fishing experience on your fishing charter.

Then as the season progresses and Lake Ontario warms up throughout itself, fruitful salmon and trout fishing will start along other ports within the Lake Ontario shore lines.
