Our 2024 Lake Ontario Fishing Season Recap
The 2024 fishing season on the eastern end of Lake Ontario will go down in history as probably one of the greatest seasons of all times. Right out of the Gate in April we started out catching limits of brown trout and salmon every day. It was the way the lake set up. We had abundant warm water, tons of bait and more salmon than we’ve ever seen.
Day after day the boats would come back and it would be a race to see who could get back to the dock with their limit first. If you couldn’t get your limit, it usually was because of tough weather conditions. Most days we were done by eight or nine AM.
I’ve been around this fishery for more than 30 years and I’ve never seen anything like the amount of fish caught. It was just a slamfest, a bloodbath, a massacre every single day. Once all those fish turned into staging salmon in August it did get a little tougher, but we still had really great catches right to the end and the river season was great also.
The forecast for this season and our expectations for a much improved economy makes me believe we are about to experience another great fishing season in 2025 here at Midway. We would like to invite everyone to get in on this coming potentially historic fishing action by booking a trip with us early to get the best dates.
There is not a place for thousands of miles that can even come close. If you want to fish in one the world's best fisheries, then fish Lake Ontario.
