Рыбалка - Салмон (приток Снейка)

If you're willing to brave the cold, you'll be rewarded with Steelhead. These fish aren't easy to hook so fish slow and be patient – that powerful strike is worth it when it comes.

It's still very cold and things are pretty quiet on the river. Keep practicing on those Steelhead head in preparation for next month, which is peak season! 

Bundle up and get ready to get in on serious Steelhead action. You'll find a mix of new fish brought in my warming waters and fish that have been here since the fall hiding in deeper pockets. 

Brown Trout are very tasty, so it should come as no surprise that they'll be your primary target at the start of spring. Keep smaller specimens and release the big fish (they don't taste as good).

Most anglers will turn their attention to Lake Ontario. It's the start of Salmon season and you'll find them congreating in the nearshore waters. Count on Bass and Trout, too. 

The Salmon still aren't heading back into the river to spawn, so it's likely you'll be chasing the pink-fleshed fish in Lake Ontario. It's one of your last opportunities to hook into them nearshore. 

Take advantage of the Brown Trout run early in the month. The fish will be quite large, as they prepare to spawn in the fall. 

The Chinook and Coho Salmon are starting to make their way back from Lake Ontario's offshore waters. They're likely not entering the Salmon River yet, but they are very close. 

It's game time. Early Chinook Salmon enter the river to spawn. You'll also find their silvery Coho cousins alongside. The fish are big and aggressive so gear up with your heavy tackle. 

It's peak Salmon fishing season! Get in on the action before it ends next month. Expect to limit out on Chinook and Coho Salmon. It's a good idea to try and get here early, as the river is at it's busiest.

Catch the last on any lingering Salmon before retiring your heavy tackle until next year. Don't be sad, though, there's still the winter Steelhead run to look forward to. 

End of the year with some Steelhead fishing. Make sure to check the weather conditions before you head out, though. There's likely be ice and slush floating in the river, making fishing difficult.
