Capt. Dan’s Sportfishing

Capt. Dan’s Sportfishing runs three boats plus walking trips out of Oswego, and the claim is that it fishes 365 days a year. That gives it a calendar that follows the fish through all four seasons on Lake Ontario, from spring browns to winter steelhead.

Spring brings brown trout and steelhead, summer shifts to walleye, bass and pike, and late summer into fall is salmon time. November is known for monster brown trout, while winter belongs to steelhead. On the Salmonoid, the targets are cold-water brown trout, steelhead and Atlantics.

What to Know

• Three boats and walking trips give anglers several ways to fish.
• Spring means brown trout and steelhead, and summer brings walleye, bass and pike.
• Fall belongs to salmon, with big brown trout in November.
• Winter steelhead trips keep the schedule going year-round.
