SWAT Fishing

SWAT Fishing is a guide service in Oswego County that specializes in fishing the Lake Ontario tributaries for salmon, walleye and trout. The creeks and rivers that feed the lake draw anglers from well beyond the county, and a guide who knows the water helps make the most of a day out.

Going out with a guide takes much of the guesswork out of fishing moving water, from finding where the fish are holding to choosing what works. It is a good fit for first-timers as well as experienced anglers who are new to the Salmon River country.
