Lake Ontario Spring Brown Trout Fishing | Casting Little Cleos and Moonshine Spoons From the Pier

Lake Ontario is most commonly known among anglers as a successful trout and salmon fishery. During the spring, shore anglers get the rare opportunity to catch brown trout in shallow water before they head off to depths only reachable by boats. During this time, they are feeding heavily and aggressively. Chances are if you find warmer water you’ll find the brown trout.

It took some bouncing around and some time on the road, but I was finally able to find some of those brown trout I was chasing. After spending all morning at Olcott Pier, I decided to change spots in hopes of finding dirtier (and warmer) water. Once I located this water, the brown trout were hitting my Little Cleo 2/5 oz spoon like there was no tomorrow.
