- May brings on the warmer weather and high jumping steelhead. The state record steelhead was caught in May. It also brings on the spring charged King Salmon.
- June is a excellent time for a variety of fish being caught, the calmest lake conditions, and is also the start of the Walleye fishing on Lake Erie, the Walleye Capital of the world.
- July is both the walleye pike prime season on Erie and trout and salmon on Ontario. This is the peak Steelhead and pre-spawn King’s month to go on a feeding frenzy.
