Wesley Neil RogersRepeat angler•
Texas, US•Member since 20174 trips5.0VerifiedBeautiful morning catching Smallmouth
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 2024 • 2 adultsWe had a great experience with Lyle during our trip. The location was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We drifted for Walleye for a while but the current wasn’t cooperating, so we switched to Smallmouth. We caught several great fish and had a wonderful time. My wife does not fish much and Lyle was both encouraging and professional in helping her catch her first Smallmouths. We would definitely use him again and were extremely impressed with his demeanor, experience, and overall excellent customer service!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on October 24, 2020 • 3 adultsMy sister and I took our dad on a fishing excursion for his 70th birthday. We found out about Hooked on Niagara after doing a little bit of research online. Captain Lyle took amazing care of us! He was very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. He knows the river very well and clearly has a ton of experience fishing it. The boat was immaculate and the gear was in near perfect shape. He was a great sport with us and had a lot of information about the area. We highly recommend him! Thanks Lyle!

6 hour fishing experience on Niagra River
6 Hour Trip (PM) on October 1, 2021 • 2 adultsHad a great afternoon with Lyle. We started in the mouth of the river catching Small mouth bass and had an exciting unexpected catch of a sturgeon! Then fished the river catching more bass and walleye. Great day on the boat!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on November 13, 2020 • 2 adultsNovember 13 was not a jinx. We found Lyle to be a fantastic boat captain, took time to show Kristi her first steelhead and brown techniques. Needless to say we had a terrific morning on the water, enjoying another amazing part of the Niagara region. Lyle, looking forward to fishing with you again.
