Niagara River Guide Service invites you aboard to see the world-famous Niagara Falls from a whole new perspective. One of the longest-running and most respected charter services in the region, they cater to all types of anglers. Join them for a summertime fishing trip on the Niagara River, targeting a wide range of fish in a world class fishery.

The Niagara Falls are just as spectacular for anglers as they are for tourists. The waterfalls themselves and the rapids below them cause the river downstream to be extremely rich in oxygen. This attracts large numbers of bait fish, which in turn draw all types of gamefish into the area. Everything from Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass to Steelhead can be found in these waters during the summertime, and NRGS knows what it takes to catch them.

Your trip will start from Niagara Falls Boat Launch, on a peaceful waterway sheltered by Cayuga Island. From there, you will be fishing the Niagara River, targeting the area's top sport fish as they make their way to and from Lake Erie. Most of your trip will involve drifting and casting, with high quality Diawa and Shimano equipment provided at no additional cost. 

You will be fishing aboard a fully equipped Alumacraft fishing boat, powered by a 200 HP engine. The boat is fitted with a trolling motor and downriggers to access the full potential of these rich waters. What better way to experience the beautiful scenery of upstate New York?

Whatever your previous fishing experience, join Niagara River Guide Service for a day out to remember. Let them customize an experience just for you and fish one of the world's most iconic waterways with the experts!

    Great trip

    Full Day Trip on August 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Rough weather to start the day! Mike definitely didn’t leave us disappointed,worked his tail off to get us some fish. Shared alot of information for when we schedule our next trip as far as when to go if we wanted to target specific fish! Definitely suggest to anyone looking to fish the Niagra area!

    Perfect Father Son Trip

    Full Day Trip on June 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Capt. Mike is a true pro. Even though the forecast wasn’t quite as expected, he kept us on fish and out of the wind. He was extremely patient and engaging with my nine year old son who is still a novice at fishing. I think this trip gave him the bug to keep going!

    Captain Mike was awesome!!

    Full Day Trip on May 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great experience with Captain Mike! Big temperature swings this week made fishing more difficult. Mike work very hard, used several techniques and covered many spots to ensure we caught fish. It was a great day and we caught several ‘fatties’! We highly recommend Mike!

    Perfect Fishing Trip!

    Full Day Trip on July 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    Mike was the best instructor and guide. He answered all of my questions and made sure I knew what to do. I've been on a few fishing charters before, and this was my favorite and most successful BY FAR.

    Captain Mike was very helpful and enjoyable to fish with. He had everything we couldve needed and knew exactly where and how to catch the fish. We caught many salmon and some lake trout plus a huge smallmouth.
