The ice is slowly starting to thaw. On the Lower Niagara River, you can hook Steelhead, Walleye, and Lake Trout, especially if you fish the gorge.

The annual Roger Tobey Memorial Steelhead Contest is on its way, and the temperatures are slowly rising. You can expect Steelhead, Brown and Lake Trout, and Chinook Salmon at the end of your line.

Both the Upper and Lower Niagara are teeming with good-sized Lake and Brown Trout. This is also one of your last chances to go after Steelhead before they retire until winter. 

May is a transitional month on the Niagara River. You'll hook into the last of the Steelhead, as well as Yellow Perch. Next month, Walleye season opens so start getting your gear ready.

If you were waiting for the best Smallmouth Bass and Walleye fishing, this is your month. The Upper Niagara produces good amounts of Northern Pike, and there’s White Bass swimming around too.

The Annual Bass Derby is on the cards mid-August and the Smallmouth action is good on the whole river. It's also a good time to go after Walleye. Start gearing up, next month Salmon come to town!

It's officially Salmon season, the happiest time on the river. Chinook and Coho have come to spawn and their ready to bite. These fish are powerful and aggressive so bring your best heavy tackle with you.

Muskellunge season is open until November 30, so this is your last chance to catch a big one. There may still be some King and Coho Salmon lurking about, so hook yourself a royal dinner. 

Steelhead, Walleye, and Brown Trout – you can catch them all in December. End of the year with a bang and say goodbye to an incredible fishing season.
