 Prime Fishing Conditions on Lake Ontario Near Mexico, NY: Your Guide to Success this Season! fishing report coverpicture

May 9, 2025

Lake Ontario Mariners Marina - Jefferson, NY Fishing Report on 9th May, 2025

Fishing Conditions: Fishing on Lake Ontario in Mexico, New York has been steady this week, with anglers reporting good catches of salmon, trout, and lake trout. The water temperature is rising, and fish are becoming more active as we head into the warmer months. With favorable conditions, it’s an ideal time to get out on the water! Salmon: King Salmon and Coho Salmon are both active, with many anglers having success trolling around the deeper waters off the Mexico Point area. Anglers are seeing better action around 40-80 feet deep, using green and blue spoons or flasher-fly combos. Early mornings and late afternoons are proving to be the best times to target salmon. Trout: Brown Trout are also being caught in the shallower waters closer to shore, particularly around the Oswego River mouth. Anglers are finding success using stickbaits and live bait like minnows. The trout are being more aggressive in the morning when water temperatures are still cool, so getting an early start is key for those looking to hook a big one. Lake Trout: Lake trout fishing has been solid around Mexico Bay, with the fish primarily holding at depths of 60-100 feet. Trolling with spin-n-glow lures or heavy jigs is effective for attracting these deep-water fighters. The lake trout bite is steady and provides a great option for anglers targeting larger species. Fishing Tips: If you're targeting salmon, focus on the deeper waters between 40-100 feet, especially around Mexico Bay and Oswego River. For trout, try working the shallow bays early in the day. Don’t forget to use light tackle for better success and a more enjoyable fight. With the weather warming up, expect fish to become more active as we move through spring and into early summer. Overall: Fishing on Lake Ontario in Mexico, NY is shaping up to be a great season! With a mix of salmon, trout, and lake trout, anglers are finding success at different depths and using a variety of techniques. Be sure to check the local weather and water conditions before head
