Lower Niagara River Charters is one of the oldest and most respected companies in the Western New York region. This is a full-time charter company that has been featured in largest outdoor magazines, including Sports Afield, In Fisherman, Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life, as well as on National TV with Orlando Wilson, Bob McGuire, and Babe Winkelman.

The company's owner, Captain John V. DeLorenzo, has been successfully running charters for over 25 years now, specializing in the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie. Capt. John hand-picks and trains his guides and always works hard to make sure his guests become his repeat customers.

Head to the lower Niagara River for the likes of Walleye or spend your day catching them on Lake Erie. Explore the river anytime from September through May – during the season, the Niagara becomes one of the best Trout and Salmon fisheries in North America. If you are more interested in a summer trip, the crew will put you on Smallmouth Bass and Walleye that reside on Lake Erie. You can even hook into Catfish while fishing the Niagara River – the opportunities are limitless!

You will be catching double digits of Bass and landing trophies on a 20' Alumacraft boat, while the top-notch electronics will aid your search for the fish. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, and lures will be available for you to use. At the end of the trip, your catch will be cleaned by the captain.

Lower Niagara River Charters proves that there is truly no other fishery in North America with the quality and consistency of fishing all year-round!
