Catfish Creek, NY
Catfish Creek, New Haven, NY
We are located on the east end of Lake Ontario out of Catfish Creek in New Haven, New York. Catfish is located perfectly between the Oswego and Salmon Rivers as well as many other rivers nearby. In the spring we have many rivers nearby as well as many easily accessible structure points for Brown and Lake Trout Fishing. As the summer moves on we are in prime territory for the offshore fishery being only a short 8 mile ride from the deep water off Oswego, and to end the season off when the King and Coho Salmon come home there's no better place to be! A short mile or two run put us off nine-mile power plant or the Salmon River where the Salmon show up by the thousands!
Seasons and species targeted
April & May
April and May are the time for light line and fast action top-water fishing! The Browns are looking for the warmest water as well as bait off of structure normally ranging 5-15 feet of water. If you limit is reached of those or if they don't want to play big Lake Trout are just outside in the 60-100 foot range! So no matter the situation there's always something that wants to play!
Primary Targeted Species: Brown Trout, and Lake Trout occasional catch of a Salmon or Steelhead here or there.

June through mid-August is the heat of the summer with some of the best weather! It is also mixed bag fishing at it's finest! Catches can range from inshore structure Browns and Lake Trout to offshore Salmon and Steelhead fishing. We can be fishing anywhere from 60 to 600 feet of water!
