Toronto Salmon Fishing

Toronto is blessed with some of the best salmon fishing in North America. We traveled to the GTA to join professional guide Greg Amiel of Fishing 4 Tails on Lake Ontario to learn how he successfully catches salmon daily. Join us to discover what bait and gear to use and where to go to catch big salmon in this episode of Pautzke Outdoors!

[@MightyMarioBros378]

@@abdool1972 really I thought it is not recommended for sushi I know you can eat the fish but with limits but I did not know you can eat them as sushi I'm gonna make some sushi

[@CanadianTropica]

@@MightyMarioBros378 Its recommended to freeze salmon for either 24-48hr at -30c or colder. Or for 7 days at -18-20c for sushi/sashimi consumption.

The MNR has a fish eating guide on their website on a downloadable PDF. It's safe to eat up to a certain amount and size of fish. Each species has it's own limitations based on the area that you're catching it in. In the GTA where I live, large salmon are not recommended for eating. Smaller ones are fine, but in moderation. There's to many pesticides in certain areas from farm run off when it rains. Just check out the fish eating guide and follow the recommendations and you'll be fine 👍👍

[@SnoopyDoofie]

So why exactly do the fish like dirty water?

[@artos1955]

SnoopyDoo Lake Ontario is crystal clear to a depth of 2 meters (minimum).

[@nobodyimportant69]

Obviously you weren't paying attention during the video. The guide explained that, go back and watch it again.

[@viajandologoali2907]

Don't you take the fish away? You can take it? I'm new here in Toronto and I'm from Brazil, the fish are different.

[@MightyMarioBros378]

We don't always keep our fish ones in a wile we will keep them

[@chromerhunters8785]

Sometimes, fish from lake ontarioq are contaminated to much that consumption isn't the best thing, welcome to canada

[@camanderson9954]

it isnt salmon or trout season at the moment. Means you can't keep them unless it is in season. Trout and salmon starts middle of September right now. But also when sport fishing you arent fishing to keep you are doing it for fun.

[@nobodyimportant69]

@@camanderson9954 You're very badly misinformed my friend. They're fishing in the Lake, the season is open Year Round. It's only in the rivers where there's a fishing season, and that's to protect them when they go upstream to spawn. Last Saturday in April until September 30th is open. Each different region and river system has it's own exceptions and sometimes extended falls seasons that are open until December 31st. Check the MNR website for the areas that you're going to be fishing to find out the correct details. Getting caught in the wrong place or at the wrong time of year can be costly. The MNR considers it poaching to be fishing in a closed area, fines start at $1000
