rile Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Going to the Niagara tommorow for opener, hope to have a report for when i get back. Has anyone been out on the river lately? If so how was the clarity, floating moss and temperature? We will be launching at frenchmans. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass2mouth Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Good luck will you on the CDN side or US? I've heard good success there with giant tubes, but haven't tried myself (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rile Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Canadian side, yes red october tubes seem to be one of the go to baits for the river, i picked up a few bondy baits at the odyssey this year that i plan to fish alot tommorow.

pauly Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 We'll be in a black lund-2 guys. Say hi if you see us, Rile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rile Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Got a 40" casting a stalker downstream of miller creek, no other follows, river was loaded with moss so we didnt troll very much. Tried jigging the triangle aswell, saw some guys get a small one, talked to Scott Mckee from the niagara musky association and he landed a fat 47" fish trolling the triangle. Seems to be a good start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Beautiful ski Rile ! I'd love to hook one that big anytime ! Do you use steel or floro leaders Rile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rile Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I only use steel, mostly single strand and some 7 stand for trolling that i make myself. I dont find floro to be worth while, for the price and the fact that they can bite through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranemc Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hey guys, New to fishing the niagara river for musky, where is triangle and millers creek? I was trolling large swim whiz yesterday, lost a small one...what depth ..casting? Agree tough trolling with all the weeds. what size tubes? Is Odyssey a tackle store?

Bladeburner Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 The "triangle" is an area between the train bridge in Ft Erie, and Strawberry island, and Frenchmans creek. With a bit of mapwork, you can find the area. Check out "Red October baits" for the tubes. If casting, focus on weedlines. Best bet is to get out there after some research, and put some time on the water. They wont come easy, but you can figure them out if you put your time in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
