FishyWishy Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Does anyone fly fish the upper Niagara? I know sass doesn't open for a few weeks (and I think Smallies would be a best bet in the upper....Correct me if I'm wrong) But I'm looking for info on flyfishing in the upper. Possibly setting up a trip with someone that can show me what to do...where is safe etc. Feel free to PM me...or post a reply. Thanks, FW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to see some photos of your catches with those flies. As for advise on fishing the Niagara, believe it or not, I've never fished the river, although I hope that changes soon. I have fished big water before though. If I was going to approach the river without much knowledge or a guide, I'd treat it as I would a salmon river. That is, work downstream a yard at a time, one cast, fish it out, move down, wash rinse and repeat. That way you cover more water and get to learn the river. As for gear, I'd go big or go home. My own rods are a 7-8 weight 9 footer and a 10 weight 2-hand spey rod. For the Niagara I'd take the spey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not allowed to promote local guides on this forum anymore? If your not sure then refresh yourself with the rules. It's a short read. Most of the Upper Niagara River is safe to wade in because it is so shallow. Finding concentrations of fish is the hard part. Is slack water the most ideal place?

ron4blues Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've got to get down there one day. Even if I get skunked, the experience would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkuns Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just drive the parkway and read the water, Between Ft. Erie and Black creek has some nice spots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
