TOURNAMENT CALENDAR
Welcome to our all in one site for all your fishing, boating, weather and event needs for Western Lake Ontario and the surrounding areas.
JUNE 2026
Sunday, June 14th – It’s going to be a stormy one today with some clouds rolling in mid- morning. Hope it doesn’t dampen the day for you all and it helps change the fishing from barely there to super. The lake is working on it, doing its June transition thing. We really didn’t have enough business to give out good info this week so this report is a little bit in the slacking department. I did see a couple of guys who did well on cohos using orange spin doctors and small peanut coho flies. There were a couple of people who were going to target lakers due to the hiding of the kings. Those rods will move. It's just going to take a little work. April and May had fishing peaked. It was better than we've ever seen it. That will come back shortly. Just let June do it's June thing. Happy Birthday to Boat Doctor Jimmy. Hope it’s a good one!
TIP: If you are planning on visiting the area this year, BOOK EARLY! There is a new AI plant being built in Somerset and the workers need housing. Shop around and you will find something. MY LODGING PICKS FOR THIS MONTH
