Light Tackle Angling for Trophy Trout and Salmon - Lake Ontario
Light Tackle Angling for Trophy Trout and Salmon on eastern Lake Ontario and its tributaries, with Captain Ernie Lantiegne of Fish Doctor Charters. Captain Ernie Lantiegne has 22 years experience as a NYSDEC fishery biologist/manager, working in northeastern New York and the Finger Lakes area.
Fish Doctor Charters First Class charters on eastern Lake Ontario for world class trout and salmon. I’m proud of my reputation for safety, fun and plenty of fish. Our reputation was built around a team approach to fishing. Capt. Ernie normally operates ’solo’ on most trips, including those when anglers ask for ’hands-on’ fishing with no mate. On these trips, he operates electronics and downriggers, etc. but each angler helps set lines and hooks and lands fish.
Captain Ernie Lantiegne Captain Ernie Lantiegne has 22 years experience as a NYSDEC fishery biologist/manager, working in northeastern New York and the Finger Lakes area. He also served as Executive Director for the Adirondack Conservation Council. He started guiding in the early ’70s for trout and salmon on Lake George, and has since chartered on the Finger Lakes, Lake Champlain, and now Lake Ontario. He has 30 years experience fishing Lake Ontario and tributaries.
Captains Ernie &Carol Our reputation was built around a team approach to fishing. Captains Carol and Ernie work together on the ’Fish Doctor’ on some trips, especially when families and couples are fishing or when folks request a mate. They have years of experience fishing Lake Ontario and its tributaries for salmon, trout, bass, and walleyes since 1977. Well known and highly respected, Capt. Ernie’s articles on fishing and conservation appear regularly in magazines.
The Fishing
Spring Brown Trout Fishing..., Yes!!! We’re back on the water and the spring brown trout fishing has been excellent. With inshore water temperatures along the lake shore as high as 49 degrees and a bit higher in Oswego Harbor the browns are feeding heavily and providing lots of action on stickbaits and small spoons fished from planer boards and downriggers. A few cohos, rainbows, lake trout and even kings are being caught.
On our last two trips, Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, our Fish Doctor anglers did well, boating plenty of good eating browns, one rainbow, and a nice lake trout. With the weather staying cooler than normal, and night time air temperatures predicted to drop into the 30’s during the night this week, we could be looking at an extended season of excellent shallow water brown trout fishing.
