Mississauga, Lake Ontario, Ontario
All year round you can experience abundant waters and live action. The surrounding cities offer fishing guides showcasing a variety of species found in the waters to different fishing techniques. It is recommended to visit between May through October and to plan your trip around your favorite fish. Trout will be waiting to take your bait during the warmer spring and summer months, where you can expect to catch large Lake Trout, Steelhead, and Brown Trout. June through October are all great months for Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. If you are looking to catch Salmon (Coho & Chinook) you’ll want to venture deep in the waters during the summer since they prefer cooler water temperatures. Adding to the angler’s excitement is the Great Ontario Salmon Derby that lasts for 50 days and attracts over 22,000 participants.
