824.0. "Fishing Lake Ontario" by VLS3::RADICIONI () Mon Aug 01 1988 17:12

    
     Well,took the wife and headed to Lake Ontario this past weekend.
    We fished the lake on Saturday and the little lady caught a 27
    pound King Salmon.. It took her about 15-20 minutes to land it
    and she was happier than the day we were married,no wise remarks..
    No,I didn't catch anything but my brother hooked on to a small
    King later in the day.. We're heading back up in October to fish
    the rivers for the salmon run.. Will we be bumping into anyone 
    from here ??? Hope to see a few of you up there..

    Yes, you will see my wife and I there this Oct.
    Do you know that you need reservations at least 2 monts in advance
    for a room!
    I cought a 25 lb. king last year in Oct.
    You need different gear in the run season, if you would like to
    know more, where? how ? to get a 3 day fishing licence so forth,
    send me a mail message and I will fill you in on what I know about
    the area.

    I'm on the count down now. My party and I will be leaving the 20th
    for 3 days on the boat. I can't wait to be back out there again,last
    years taste of a 22lb King (which is now hanging on the wall) and
    the 22lb Steelhead that was caught this spring by my uncles friend
    get my hopes and dreams going.
                                                       17 more days,

            I would not recommend going in oct. to fish for kings. I
    have been going there for the past 4 years and find i have my best
    luck the end of august,in october the fish are in the rivers and
    it is nothing but wall to wall people.Most of the time there is
    a lot of fighting for spots along the rivers,do you really want
    your wife to see this.Just to let you know i have just gotten back
    and three of us caught 22 Kings and 1 Coho in 4 days from 18 lbs
    to 32lbs. Six of the kings were caught in 1 hour.                          
                                           GOOD LUCK    Bob
