They're beautiful fish and grow large, weighing up to the teens, because they summer in Lake Ontario. They migrate to rivers and creeks in fall to spend winter there because forage is more abundant in those waters than in the lake in the colder seasons. Jay's guides were fishing for steelheads, and he'd return to that angling once the trout waters froze. The steelheads are mostly targeted on Salmon River, a bigger river that never completely freezes. |
