A key advantage of booking with us is our specialized fleet. We utilize three Fishwright rowed drift boats, ranging from 18 to 19 feet, designed to navigate the river with a stealthy, quiet approach. These boats are fully registered and motor-capable, but more importantly for New York winters, they are heated. This allows us to provide a comfortable, professional environment for up to three guests per boat, even during the peak of the winter steelhead season.
Beyond our drift boat sessions, we provide specialized wade fishing trips that allow for a hands-on, immersive river experience. These trips are perfect for anglers looking to master technical presentations and learn the nuances of reading the water under the guidance of a seasoned pro. Whether we are on the oars or on foot, our goal is to provide a quiet, productive environment away from the heavy pressure of motorized charters.
Whether you are targeting trophy Chinook Salmon in the fall or hunting for acrobatic Steelhead in the spring, our multi-boat capacity allows us to accommodate larger groups while maintaining a small-group feel. Every trip includes professional tackle and expert instruction tailored to your skill level. Book your next Lake Ontario fishing charter with Fishin Hawk Guides Adventures to experience the technical advantage of our rowed boat model and local Oswego river mastery.
