Salmon Fishing on the Niagara River

Great Lakes King Salmon are some of the hardest freshwater fish we have. Salmon are stocked in Lake Ontario at a very young age.

Great Lakes King Salmon are some of the hardest freshwater fish we have. Salmon are stocked in Lake Ontario at a very young age. They are released into Niagara River, and other tributaries of Lake Ontario. From there, they will spend roughly three to five years in Lake Ontario until they completely mature, and make their distinctive migratory runs into The Niagara River, and other Lake Ontario Tributaries. Our King Salmon in The Niagara River can range anywhere form ten pounds to over thirty pounds. Most Kings you will find average around fifteen to twenty pounds. Being a fishing guide for them can be rewarding if the fall run is heavy with them.

    “I have gone out with Pete on several occasions! From steelhead and lake trout in the lower Niagara river, to smallmouth bass in the Upper. He’s an incredible fisherman with an abundance of knowledge. Whether you’re looking to get out there and experience this incredible fishery for the first time, or just hone in on your skills, Pete should be you first call!!”

    “Captain Goretti took me out for my first time ever fishing the Niagara River where I was not too sure what to expect. Within 5 minutes of being on the water I was already learning new techniques of fishing. From there on, captain Goretti helped me catch my first lake trout and a great bunch of steelhead. It was an unforgettable day of learning and catching fish in a surreal environment.”

    “Peter is one of the most down to earth experienced charter captains I've chartered with. He was extremely helpful and offered great advice. He'll go the extra mile to make sure you're catching fish, although we were nailing them ten minutes in! I highly recommend "One More Drift" whether you're fishing for bass on the upper or trout on the lower. Peter is your man!”
