Beautiful morning catching Smallmouth
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 20242 adults

We 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!

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass

Fantastic experience!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on October 24, 20203 adults

My 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!
