deanz00 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hey crew looking to make the drive down this coming Friday to fish early Friday and over the weekend on the lower River. I see the forecast for Thursday and Friday in Port Colborne is gusting winds of 50 km for both days. Can anybody comment on what the conditions might be for Friday through Sunday knowing these winds? I don't fish the river that often enough to know how quickly the river will respond to those winds...... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!!

deanz00 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Thanks Steellee, I appreciate the feedback but I guess my question is how soon does it dirty from such winds..... I know probably hard to forecast based on various factors?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbocco Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Generally about 24hrs later. Winds blowing Lake Erie towards the Niagara River have far more impact on water clarity than rain/slow. Also, steelhead seem to bite best with moderate visibility, if that’s your target. Too brown obviously is bad, but too clear (more than 10ft) can also be bad without perfect presentation. People like to say they like it to look green.

Jwl1 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Have to be prepared for a few factors in the winter...even road and launch conditions down there too....the fishing is the easy part if you can adapt...presentation is definitely a key factor on the river...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
