Captain John Oravec and Tight Lines Charters is one of upstate New York's most versatile fishing guide services operating on Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and the St. Lawrence River.

Captain John Oravec aka: "Troutman" celebrates his 30th year as a charter fishing guide, writer and fishing educator. "Guiding is my passion" he says. He works the lower Niagara River (Dec 15 - April 15), Lake Ontario (May - Sept), then shifts to the St Lawrence River in the fall. He has written for In-Fisherman Magazine, appeared in an award-winning Great Lakes video (produced by In-Fisherman), and recently wrote an article on Winter Steelhead appearing in Lake Ontario Outdoors. Capt. John is proud to offer one of the finest selections of charter fishing in Upstate NY. According to Capt. John "Every year I concentrate my guiding on prime sport fisheries during the peak activity periods on Lake Ontario, the St Lawrence River and the Niagara River". Capt. John has a program for your enjoyment whether you be a beginner or expert. Both of Capt. John's boats are hand picked for the specific type of waters and fishing techniques as he applies them. From the very stable 10 meter Trojan International for the big waters of Lake Ontario to the 20ft Lund utilized on both the St Lawrence and Niagara Rivers. What drives Capt. John is being able to enjoy the enthusiasm of every angler that steps on his boat whether it be a new angler or a returning client(some of whom have fished with him for 20+ years). Part of the unwritten code of this fraternity is that Capt. John is committed to his clients by providing not only fine fishing trips, but also superb customer service. From initial booking, lodging information, travel information, weather and fishing conditions, his service provides for consistant fishing action and an enjoyable day on the water everytime.
