Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2026 • 2 adults

Our trip was a gift for my son who is an avid fisherman. He usually fishes local creeks and a few times a year from a dock on Keuka Lake. Tyler made sure to put us in places where we could catch small mouth bass. While we were out, he taught us more than we could imagine. He answered all my son’s questions and gave him a ton of tips. Not only did we talk fishing, but also cars, family (Tyler has two little ones at home), work, life experiences, etc. We also swapped stories. Tyler is a good guy. He’s friendly, entertaining, and wants his clients to have a good time. We’ll be sure to book another trip with him next year. Check him out! You won’t ve disappointed!

September fishing trip

Half Day Trip (AM) on September 6, 2025 • 1 adult

Had a great day on the water with Captain Tyler from Fathead Fishing Co. He’s a great guy with a ton of knowledge and experience on the Niagara River, and it really showed throughout the trip. Tyler took all the work out of fishing and made the whole experience completely stress-free, so we could just focus on having fun and catching fish. Even though the bite was tough, he worked hard to put us on fish, and we still managed to land some quality smallmouth bass. This is hands down one of the best smallmouth fishing spots in the U.S., and having someone like Tyler guiding the trip made it an awesome experience. Highly recommend booking with Fathead Fishing Co if you're looking to fish the Niagara.
