In Ontario, we're lucky to have several species of migratory fish that move into the rivers from the great lakes at various times throughout the year. The list of migratory species can be looked at as being: Rainbow Trout (steelhead), Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Atlantic Salmon and in a few rare circumstances Coaster Brook Trout. Nearly every stream that flows into the great lakes sees a run in both the fall and spring of various species.

Ontario Migratory Trout and Salmon Rivers
( 1 Articles )
The rivers and streams that enter the Great Lakes in Central/Eastern Canada provide the perfect habitat for migratory salmon and trout species. Chinook, coho and pink salmon run these rivers each fall. Rainbow trout and Brown trout make the trek up these rivers in the fall as well, but the bulk of the steelhead run occurs in the spring.

Pink, Chinook and Coho salmon are all present in the great lakes of Ontario. Find out when migration begins and where to find these fish.
Pacific salmon species enter estuaries and rivers only once in their lives to reproduce. Shortly after reproduction, each of these salmon species perishes, adding valuable nutrients to the rivers and streams.
