Fishing Report When Lake Erie blows, Ontario delivers.

[Wildfire]

Would have loved to go back to the lighthouse for more Steelhead excitement, but Erie wasn’t having it and Lake Ontario is flat as a pancake. Good way to wrap up my vacation.

First off, kings are far easier to land then acrobatic steelhead. Got 9/9 so far but 7 were babies. These two are coming home to spend some time with the Traeger then coming with us to a BBQ tomorrow.

Big ones on flasher fly combo, small ones on spoons in 130fow.

The one on the right in this picture is a Coho.

In the other image top and third are Coho's as Josh pointed out. Grey gums, no black tongue.

Back tongue doesnt always Indicate chinny...these Coho that Michigan are dumping in have some funny traits! Some look suspiciously like hybrids tbh Here's the tongue of the Coho I got today, pretty dark....


And as I've been noticing on many Coho, there's obvious spotting on the lower half of the tail which seems to become more prominent and obvious towards spawning.

Strange.....
