TOURNAMENT CALENDAR
Welcome to our all in one site for all your fishing, boating, weather and event needs for Western Lake Ontario and the surrounding areas.
NOVEMBER 2025
Saturday, November 29th – All the winds we have had the last few days must have pushed in some fish because fishing right now is primo. It’s really really good at Burt Dam right now. There are kings, cohos, atlantics and browns big time. It is very late in the season for this to happen. We don’t understand the full run happening after the usual time, but everything is different this year. The only issue is the crowd at the dam. Elbow to elbow fishing and they are lined up today. Fishing with eggs, beads both soft and hard, waxies, reds, crawlers, spikes…just a load of things working there. We didn’t expect anything huge due to the lack of kings this year, but I think those big guys found new places to hide out in the lake. Whatever is going on, everything here took a turn for the better. Have a great day.
