cptpronin Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Good evening Niagara Fishing Forum. Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in the GTA, but regularly come down to your neck of the woods to fish for those big chromers, big slabs and big bass. In fact, because I like fishing the region so much, I was thinking of getting a concervation area pass this summer. I've tried a couple of them and thought they were well worth the price of admission. After a long, hard winter, I'm hoping the spring like conditions have gotten those beefy chromers moving along the lower. How is the trail going down there looking right now? I have not packed my cleats yet. I tried a few times over the winter. Nearly busted my leg and got skunked (lol), so I've been waiting for some more favorable conditions. would a guy be safe to try it now? At any I hope to be able to contribute if you'll have me. Best Regards Pronin PS: If you come up to the west shore, yessir, you'll hook into some beefy chromers who are hungry and on the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Welcome to NIAGARA fishing cptpronin . We have it all here in Niagara , from alewives to zebra mussels ! I will be tossing a line for chromers tomorrow at Port Dalhousie using roe bags and then a few floating cranks , including kwikfish on a 3 way rig to get them down 15 to 20 feet rather than use deep divers . They are hitting spoons , so I thought I'd try the cranks on them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptpronin Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! A lower river report section sounds like a good tool to have. Fishing down there is like Frodo's quest through Mordor some days lol. If the weather stays nice, I may have to to go down there this week and generate a report. And yes, plugs are a fantastic presentation for steelhead. Not just for trolling, but casting too. They can get hard, hungry bites if fished slow enough in the frigid water. I like Smerchly's idea of the river rig setup. I may have to give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplummer Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 The conditions section is great. So is the private steelhead forum as well as lake O and lake E forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
