Credit River Morning Salmon & Trout Adventure
Get ready for an action-packed morning on the Credit River, where trophy salmon and steelhead are waiting to test your skills. This 4-hour guided wade fishing trip is perfect for anglers of all levels looking to land some of Ontario's most prized catches. Whether you're a local looking for a quick fishing fix or a visitor hoping to experience the best of Lake Ontario's tributaries, this trip delivers big time.
What to Expect on the Water
You'll kick off bright and early, meeting your expert guide at a prime spot along the Credit River. This isn't your average fishing charter - you'll be getting up close and personal with the river, wading through crystal-clear waters as you chase after salmon and steelhead. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand and will lead you to the best holes and runs where the big ones like to hang out. They'll also share some local knowledge and insider tips to help you improve your technique and boost your chances of hooking into something special. With a max of two anglers per trip, you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention and have room to cast without getting tangled up with your buddy.
Gear Up for Success
No need to stress about equipment - Bluewater Fishing Adventures has got you covered. They'll set you up with top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you need to target these hard-fighting fish. Waders and boots are also provided, so you can stay dry and comfortable as you navigate the river. Your guide will walk you through the gear and show you how to use it effectively for the specific techniques that work best on the Credit. Whether you're drifting eggs, swinging flies, or tossing spinners, you'll have the right tools for the job.
Species You'll Want to Hook
The Credit River is famous for its runs of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead Trout. These aren't your average fish - we're talking about some serious heavyweights that'll put your gear and skills to the test.
Chinook Salmon, also known as King Salmon, are the bruisers of the bunch. These guys can tip the scales at over 30 pounds and are known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Fall is prime time for Chinooks, when they enter the river in droves to spawn. There's nothing quite like the rush of hooking into one of these chrome-bright monsters fresh from the lake.
Coho Salmon might be smaller than their Chinook cousins, but what they lack in size they make up for in feistiness. Averaging 5-10 pounds, Cohos are known for their aggressive strikes and wild fights. They start showing up in late summer and provide great action through the fall.
Steelhead Trout are the river's year-round residents, offering exciting fishing opportunities in all seasons. These lake-run rainbow trout are prized for their lightning-fast runs and aerial displays. Spring and fall see the biggest pushes of fresh fish, but you can find them in the river any time of year. Landing a wild Credit River steelhead is a badge of honor for any angler.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Learn more about the species
Chinook Salmon
Chinook, or King Salmon, are the biggest salmon you'll find in these parts. They typically run 20-30 pounds, but some monsters push 40+. These silver-sided bruisers with blue-green backs are known for their hard-fighting spirit. You'll find them in deeper, cooler sections of the river, especially near drop-offs and large boulders. Fall is prime time as they run upriver to spawn. Anglers love Chinooks not just for the challenge, but also for their rich, orange-red meat – great for the grill. When targeting these big boys, I always tell folks to use heavier gear and fish early morning or evening when they're most active. A local trick: try swinging bright-colored flies on cloudy days, or go with darker patterns when it's sunny. Just be ready for a serious battle when one of these kings decides to bite!
Coho Salmon
Coho, or Silver Salmon, are the acrobats of the salmon world. Smaller than Chinooks, they usually weigh in around 8-12 pounds, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight. These fish are known for their spectacular leaps – they can jump up to 6 feet out of the water! Look for them in calmer pools and runs, especially near woody debris. They start running in late summer through fall, with peak fishing usually in September and October. Anglers love Cohos for their aggressive strikes and aerial displays. Plus, their bright orange meat is a real treat on the table. When fishing for Cohos, I always suggest using float fishing with roe in both moving and still water. It's a killer technique that often triggers their competitive instincts. Remember, these fish can be finicky, so don't be afraid to switch up your presentation if they're not biting.
Steelhead Trout
Steelhead are the sea-run cousins of rainbow trout, and they're some of the most prized catches in these waters. They average about 24 inches, but some bruisers can stretch to 30 or even 40 inches. You'll find them in faster, oxygen-rich runs and near structure like boulders or fallen trees. The best fishing is usually from mid-fall through spring when they're running upriver. Anglers love steelhead for their acrobatic fights and the challenge they present – they don't call 'em the "fish of a thousand casts" for nothing. These fish are notoriously picky, but here's a local tip: try swinging flies with a two-handed Spey rod. It covers more water and can be deadly effective. When you hook into one of these silver missiles, hold on tight – they'll give you a fight you won't soon forget!
