Lake America fishing charters

Licensed captains fishing Lake America (Lake Ontario), New York — port by port. No booking markup and no lead fees: you call the captain directly.

By port

• Wilson, NY Niagara County — Wilson Harbor and the Niagara Bar — spring browns tight to shore, then kings stacking on the bar through late summer.
• Olcott, NY Niagara County — Burt Dam and Eighteenmile Creek make Olcott the western anchor of the fall and winter steelhead run.
• Point Breeze, NY Orleans County — Oak Orchard Creek mouth — a protected launch and one of the most dependable early-season brown trout ports on the lake.
• Rochester, NY Monroe County — Genesee River mouth, Irondequoit Bay and the Devils Nose — the deepest water closest to a launch anywhere on the south shore.
• Sodus Bay, NY Wayne County — A large protected bay with fast access to the 200-foot line — plus a warmwater fishery inside the bay that most of the lake does not have.
• Fair Haven, NY Cayuga County — Little Sodus Bay — a quiet, sheltered launch with a short run to summer king water.
• Oswego, NY Oswego County — The busiest charter port on Lake America, and the one with a major river running through the middle of it.
• Mexico Bay, NY Oswego County — Port Ontario and the Salmon River mouth — the epicentre of the fall king run on Lake America.
• Henderson Harbor, NY Jefferson County — Eastern basin structure — islands, shoals and reefs that make this the most varied mixed-bag fishing on the lake.
• Cape Vincent, NY Jefferson County — Where the lake becomes the St. Lawrence — heavy current, mixed-bag water, and a fishery unlike anywhere else on Lake America.
