Seasonal Activity Chart
Tuna
Tuna fishing near Alexandria Bay is highly improbable, as Tuna are exclusively saltwater fish and Alexandria Bay is located far inland on the St. Lawrence River. The river is primarily a freshwater system in that area, with minimal to no saltwater influence. Therefore, targeting Tuna in this location would be unrealistic. Anglers seeking Tuna would need to travel to coastal areas with access to the ocean. Focus your fishing efforts on the species that are actually present in the St. Lawrence River around Alexandria Bay, such as bass, pike, and walleye.
