NADO Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Planning on heading out to the bar this weekend as long as the wind forecast stays down. If anyone is planning on going it would be nice to meet up for safety purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Guelph Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 what is best practice for fishing us waters. Do you guys have your passports on you when you are out? I am guessing that you are kidding but if not no you only need a passport if you are entering the country and it better not be with a kayak.

mford Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 not kidding, I wasn't sure if you were approached by the any sort of US border board what they would ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NADO Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I saw the day licence online was $10. I'm considering it as i'm not sure how often I would really be getting out in that area, there are only so many Saturdays in a year. Let me know yakfish, as of now they are calling for a high of plus 6 with 10k winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NADO Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Well we made it but sadly no fish to show for it. The weather man lied and there was some good wind coming from the east, most of the boats seemed like they gave up early too with the rough water. The river seemed to be flowing fairly heavy, I was ripping through the drift pretty damn fast and it was a workout to get back to the starting point just to drift for 5 minutes before I had to start heading back to the start again. I'm not sure it is something I can manage in a kayak but i'm hoping it was just a day where the river was ripping faster than normal. Lots of waves were crashing over the kayak and I got a little more wet than I would have liked in the cold wind. Is there a good site that shows the flow of the river below the hydro dam? I checked the water office site but it looks like the only station is surprisingly on the upper niagara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfish Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It was fun getting out despite the cold, wind, current and lack of fish. Its something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'll try it again in warmer weather. Conditions will have to be perfect for me to go back out in the kayak again. It was definitely a learning experience for me. Best way to learn and know what to expect is to get out and do it. Next time I'm going to go farther out green can and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
