As a rule – the bigger the water the bigger the fish. Charter fishing in Buffalo Niagara is the only way you can experience the 'big water' of our region, which includes Lake Erie, the Niagara River, and Lake Ontario. We offer a premium guided fishing service here in the Buffalo Niagara Region.

Except for the occasional vacation (most of which are spent fishing somewhere else), we're on the water every week of the year – staying in touch with conditions, learning, improving our skills, and taking feedback from our clients.

We constantly work toward mastery of every technique/tackle type and prioritize passing this knowledge to our clients above all else.

We regularly upgrade our tackle to ensure our clients have the opportunity to use the latest and greatest tools of the trade.

Our boats are the best the industry has to offer – perfect for hardcore, multi-species anglers as well as families looking to make lasting memories on the water. Hundreds of 5-star reviews say it all – a day with us is an experience you'll cherish forever.

After spending more than half his life on the move as an officer in the United States Marine Corps, the idea of 'home waters' started to sound appealing. With a desire to grow roots, provide stability for his family, connect with community, and teach others the joys of fishing and importance of preserving our natural resources, Ryan started Brookdog Fishing Company back where his addiction to fishing began – Western New York. With knowledge gained from numerous trips with leading guides from across the U.S. and Canada as well as the leadership and organizational skills developed over nearly 2 decades of service, Ryan challenges paradigms every time he wets a line. Passion, intensity, organization, professionalism – all subdued by a laid-back demeanor and a need to play outside.
