The lower niagara

[Radio]

Just wondering if anyone has been fishing for trout down in the lower lately... been too warm. Hoping to get down there sooner than later. Thanks

From shore no one around this morning and no fish.

Gotchya! Thanks Tyler

Fished this afternoon for a bit. Doesn’t seem like much is going on. Seen a few zombie salmon swimming around. Zero fish for me. 
It was a last minute trip for me. I didn’t have any thawed eggs and forgot to buy some at peters. Bottom bounced a plastic egg cluster and tossed a spinner.

Good on ya for getting out Tyler. Hopefully things start turning on sooner than later

Temps should be dropping off soon and hopefully they will be more active .

While watering the dog last night at 7 pm I saw many dew worms between the leaves , should get a dozen & give them a bath.....

Plastic egg cluster made me cringe a little bit.

There's plenty of fish in the river.

Ya not my go to bait but it was sitting in the door of my truck. I don’t usually use hardware  either.

Loaded with browns on the American side, most at the coast guard drift, that's where I am going on Saturday if the river doesn't blow.  That said if fishing from shore you got to go early and work the glen.

[Tyler0420]

A morning of no catching. Fished 5:30-9:30 from shore with one snagged brown. Nobody catching from shore really. Maybe seen 3 fish caught. This date last year hundreds were being caught.  Boats going down river early morning then fishing the art park drift. Quite a few boats out and no one fishing the Canadian drift.

Geez eh Tyler! You're efforts will be paid back though... thinking the water is still too warm... was the water really clear? Thanks for the update

That's perfect actually.

Lakers and browns are at the Coast Guard and Stella drifts on the American side, most likely all over the river in the deeper water.  Buddy was out on Saturday, got three browns, three lakers and six bass.

Did you fish state side last weekend? 
Unless I get a rain day don’t think I’ll make it back for the brown run. Hopefully they get their passports and move to the Canada side.

I couldn't fish but my buddy did, I will try to fish this Saturday.  I got my American fishing license; I only fish the American side early in the season.
