Lake trout season opened up in the lower Niagara River and Lake Ontario on Jan. 1. The actual season runs for nine months, through Sept. 30. Then it’s shut down for three months, closed because of spawning considerations. Therein lies the problem. Fish with a closed season cannot be targeted to catch. It’s also a gray area for holding up one of these fish for a quick picture before its release.
Maybe we should look at the big picture here and see what’s happening regarding tournaments, derbies and other fishing contests.
We can cross the Ozarks off of our bucket list, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be back for some more fun in the sun
