Where To Find Pink Salmon *Lake Ontario*
Spring: During the spring most salmon are found off shore feeding heavily on spawning alewifes and smelt. The technique of choice for most anglers is trolling a variety of spoons using downriggers. The spoons are trolled within 1 mile of the shore, above and below the marked fish. Best spoons to use are nasty boys, williams, evil eyes and northern kings. If you are fishing from a pier, try casting spoons such as pixies, and cleos.
Summer: During the summer the salmon move out into deeper waters, again relating to schools of baitfish. Trolling spoons on downriggers near the baitfish schools is always a good choice.
Fall: In the fall salmon move inshore again, to spawn. Large numbers congregate at river mouths. During this time trolling these areas with spoons or plugs is done often.
