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.
 


JUNE 2025


Good morning, it is Saturday, June 21st - Hooks for Harry Kids tournament starts in a couple hours in the Newfane Marina. It’s free for kids 4 to 15. Prizes are fantastic for kids this year. Two kayaks, loads of fishing gear, gift certificates and a lifetime fishing license. They are serving free breakfast this morning also. Fishing is from the Olcott piers to Burt Dam – 8-12.

They just issued a local heat advisory, so it is a great day to be on the water. Bring those shades and sunscreen. The marina was loaded with all kinds of species this last week, so we will see what today brings. Perch fishing has been great.

Lake Ontario seems to finally be settling down. It’s been windy and thunderstorms quite often. Finally today – it looks like we are going to see some action out there. The coho bite is still really good. You’re going to need a smaller orange, red or yellow paddle or spin doctor and some coho flies. Actually, yesterday one of the captains told me the cohos are biting on mag spoons too. That’d be the cohos near the river entrance. I’m not sure about the rest of them. King bite should start up now as things have been a bit late due to the cold and odd weather. Everyone is waiting for the lake to set up, but for now – I would venture to head north. Our charter guys have been getting decent fish when they can get out. Enjoy your day.
