Fishing on the Oswego River is great all year. The summer months provide fantastic bass and walleye fishing. The fall provides excellent trout and salmon fishing. During the winter months the steelhead reigns king. Spring fishing is also awesome as well. Spring time anglers on the river may encounter any and all species of fish that exist in the Lake Ontario waters

   In September 2004 Jennifer Conley and some friends were fishing from a private boat in the Oswego Harbor. Thats when Jennifer caught her first king salmon. This fine specimen weighed in at 20 pounds. It was caught on a home made tinsel fly behind a spin doctor flasher. The most memorable part of Jennifer's fish was when the fish made it's first run. All she could do was stare at the reel and yell "HOW DO YOU STOP HIM !". They nicely told her you don't just let him run. They caught more salmon that day each person landing one fish.

Fishing The Oswego Harbor

  The Oswego Harbor is a commercial shipping port. It is also the gateway to the NYS Barge Canal, better known as the Erie Canal. Oswego Harbor is referred to by many as the best port on Lake Ontario

   Its sheltered waters offer fisherman a refuge on those days when the lake is a bit to rough to venture out on. Fishing the Oswego Harbor can really produce some amazing results. In the spring it offers a fantastic fishery for brown trout and steelhead. In the summer bass and walleye fisherman are here in large numbers. As the summer nears it end usually in mid September the salmon will collect up in the harbor prior to the fall run. Once they have become concentrated in the harbor they offer anglers a wonderful fishing opportunity.

   The Oswego area of Lake Ontario has produced a World Record Coho Salmon as well as the New York State Record Brown Trout . Stephen M. Sheets of Woolrich, Pa., caught the record breaking coho that weighed in at 33.45 pounds on August 13, 1998. Tony Brown of Schenectady, NY caught the new state record brown of 33-pounds, 2-ounces on June 10, 1997. Both of these fantastic fish were taken by clients of local charter captains.
