River and lake fishing with Captain Tom Burke.
Cold Steel Sportfishing offers river guiding and Lake Ontario charters with Captain Tom Burke. Its drift-boat page describes the boat as a way to reach more water, with fly or spinning approaches and opportunities to get out and wade. The website names the Salmon, Oswego and Black rivers.
Choose the approach before the trip.
Discuss a drift-boat or streamside outing with Tom, including whether you prefer fly or spinning tackle. The service describes providing rods and reels and adapting the use of the boat to water and fish conditions.
Confirm current operation, dates, prices, equipment and meeting arrangements directly. The website includes historical fishing reports; those reports do not describe present conditions or availability. Altmar is the published mailing area, not a launch point.
