Brown Trout
While Lake Ontario is known for its salmon and trout, the nearshore waters and tributaries around Dexter, New York also hold some surprisingly good brown trout fishing opportunities. The Black River, as it flows into Black River Bay, can be a productive area, especially during the spring and fall migration periods. Browns will move into the river system to spawn or to feed on baitfish. Target areas with current breaks, structure, and deeper pools. Spring and Fall are the best times to target these fish. Consider fishing early mornings or late evenings for better success. A local tip is to check the water clarity – if the river is too muddy, the fishing will likely be slow. Shore access is available in some areas, but a boat or kayak will allow you to cover more water. These browns are often migratory fish, so sizes can vary, but some impressive specimens are caught each year.
