Trout and Salmon Fishing in Lake Ontario

     Lake Ontario offers some of the finest freshwater fishing in the US! Our charter fishing season begins annually on April 1st and runs until October 31st. That means there's plenty of time for you to experience the excitement of hooking into one of our Lake Ontario Trout or Salmon!

     If you're not familiar with our fishery, there are mulitple species available to us, and we often catch a nice mixed bag daily. The Trout species in Lake Ontario are Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout and Steelhead (a strain of Rainbow Trout). The Salmon in Lake Ontario are Coho Salmon, an occasional Atlantic Salmon and the Chinook Salmon. The Chinook is also called a King Salmon, which, if you hook into one you will understand why they've earned the name - they put up an incredibly powerful fight!

Multiple Boats Available for Larger Groups and Corporate Outings

     Consider Rodmaster Sportfishing Charters for your next group event! With our multiple boat fleet, we can accomodate family reunion groups, club and association outings and corporate events such as sales meetings, client entertainment, employee recognition, awards, bonus events, etc. A Corporate Fishing Charter is a much more captive event than a round of golf for your sales or marketing pitch! These fishing trips can be customized for duration or departure time, depending upon the scheduling your group requires. We can also provide meals, beverages, pastries, snacks, etc. if you would like.

Premium or Sportsman's Charter?

     Rodmaster Sportfishing Charters offers 2 levels of service with separate rate structures to accomodate a variety of anglers. Our client base is made up of hardcore, serious fishermen, family groups, neighbors, fishing buddies, corporate groups, young, old, handicapped, men, women and children. You can view our rates by clicking here, or read on for details on the difference between our services.

     Our Premium Fishing Charter is what is depicted on this site. It is fishing with Capt. Mike aboard the Rodmaster. This is the ultimate Lake Ontario charter fishing boat - a 33' Trojan International with a 13' beam (width)! As stated previously, Capt. Mike has a 30 year career of fishing success, credentials and reputation. This trip is a cut-above the other Lake Ontario Charters, and as such is priced at a Premium rate. This is the charter that most of our clients choose, and is the preference of the discriminating sportsman.

     The Sportsman's Charter is with one of our Fleet Captains aboard a 28' or larger, fully equipped fishing charter boat. All of our Captains are very experienced on Lake Ontario, and possess the knowledge and fishing techniques to provide a productive, safe and enjoyable fishing trip.  The Sportsman's Charter is geared towards our more "budget-minded" clients, and is priced at a rate competitive with other Lake Ontario Charters.

     Whichever trip you choose, Rodmaster Sportfishing Charters assures you a successful and memorable experience on the water. Even if you're not a die-hard angler, it's fun and exciting just to watch! We guarantee fish on all of our 5 and 8 hour charters or your next trip is free - but that doesn't happen when you choose the BEST!

What Folks Say About Us

Capt. Mike,
   Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had last week! Bob said to tell you he'll be in touch about bringing the family up in July. Sure wish I had been the one to pull in that nice brown . . . had to listen to Gary ramble on about it the whole 5 hours home! Thanks again - you know we'll be back!

  Thanks alot for another great trip, Capt. Mike!   But now the wives have decided they are coming again next time since they found so much to do there.  We told them they should look into the wine tours - with enough wine tasting hopefully there'll be less shopping!
Ben Kraemer


Captain,
Thanks for the great fishing! I've been on Lake Ontario with 3 other guides, and none of them worked as hard as you to keep us on fish. The boys were about ready to give up on Lake Ontario, but now we see that you get what you pay for. Lesson learned. You run a 1st rate service! All the best to you! We'll be in touch,
Carl Sanderson


Hi Capt. Mike!
Can you please send pics of JJ's salmon asap? He's pretty upset because the kids at school don't believe him and what I took on my phone are just sun glare. He had the best time -- and so did I just watching his excitement! A memory Jody and I will always have of him! Thanks!
