River Valley Charters is your top source for Lake Ontario fishing charters! We are the original, #HiredToFish charter service. Our top priority is delivering you a fishing experience you will never forget. We will go the extra mile to make sure your trip with us is as successful, exciting, and safe as possible. We welcome children and anglers of all skill level to join us for a day of Henderson fishing!

Captain Benjamin Roggie will be leading the way on your New York fishing adventure. Capt. Benjamin has been fishing in New York since he was a child. He has a deep love for the sport of fishing, and he started running Lake Ontario fishing charters so he could give other anglers the chance to see how great this sport can be. Capt. Benjamin has great knowledge of the local waterways and the fish that call these waters home. He is always happy to pass on his knowledge to you and answer any questions you may have on your Henderson fishing trips with him.

Our fishing charters set sail out of Henderson, New York and go on to explore the different areas of the Henderson Harbor. The Henderson Harbor is part of what is called the “Golden Crescent” of Lake Ontario. Here, some of the most productive bays of the lake are within a short distance from our dock! Having the ability to fish both the deep cold waters of the lake, as well as the warm shallower waters of the bays gives us a variety of fishing options that cannot be found in many other places. It also gives you more options on days where we experience less than favorable weather conditions. The back bays of the Eastern Basin offer shelter from the wind, and anglers that arrive with an open mind can still experience a successful day of fishing while captains from other harbors cancel trips due to weather!

All the action begins once you step foot onto our gorgeous 26ft Stamas cabin cruiser. This boat is perfect for Lake Ontario fishing charters! She is equipped with a livewell, downriggers, GPS, a cooler, and all the latest safety and fish finding equipment. You and 5 of your friends or family members will have plenty of space to enjoy Henderson fishing!

We offer 4 and 8 hours fishing trips covering the Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario. All of your Henderson fishing trips with us include rods, reels, tackle, lures, and bait. You will need a fishing license prior to the trip. Any catch you are able to keep will be cleaned and package at the end of each trip.

The Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario provides a world class fishery. On our Lake Ontario fishing charters, we love to target species like both the King and Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and Steelhead. Warm water target species include Northern Pike, Pickerel, Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye.

Book a trip with Captain Benjamin Roggie and River Valley charters today for a Henderson fishing adventure full of many catches and many wonderful memories!

Half Day Trip – Trout & Salmon (PM)
I selected this charter based on the web description. We were not disappointed. Of course, as in any fishing trips, patience is required, Captain Ben did everything humanly possible to bring us to fish. While we waited for the fish to do their part we enjoyed friendly conversation with the Captain and his mate. It was a slow yet productive day. If you are searching for a charter that is kid friendly, works hard at bringing you to fish, Then you found it. You also get to enjoy the awe and wonder of the Great Lake.

Full Day Trip – Salmon/Trout
Our second year going out with Ben and Eric. Could not have asked for a better day on the lake. While the walleye bite was off, lake trout and salmon made up for it. The crew worked incredibly hard to get us on the fish and we enjoyed their company and good humor. They know how to fish. Will be back again later next summer.
