Fresh Niagara County Fishing Reports

Water temperature 39.6 degrees Water color was mud with a few inches of visibility. This was the coldest day of the year. Brown trout bite was pretty consistent dispite dirty water. Winds were fairy calm with the occasional wnw gust. Beads were the hot bait of choice today.

*Niagara River Adventures – Fishing Report* *Thursday, October 23* We had an awesome day on the water today! The bite was steady throughout the morning and into early afternoon, with plenty of hookups and even more fish that got away. The most productive window was between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the action really picked up. Most of our bites came on Pro-Cure Red Hot Double Stuff cured skein, which proved to be the hot bait of the day. Water visibility held around 5 feet, providing great conditions for both anglers and fish. Overall, a fantastic outing with lots of excitement and bent rods on the Niagara! Come up and fish with us!

The fall season is finally here, and we’ve kicked things off on the Niagara River with an exciting start to our guided fishing adventures! We began fishing in early October, and while the salmon run is just starting to build, we’ve already seen solid action for this early in the season. Over two days, our crew landed a dozen salmon, with several more hook-ups that kept rods bent and adrenaline high. The water clarity has been exceptional, which made the bite a little trickier than usual — the fish could see everything — but with the right presentation and patience, the rewards were worth it. Our most productive setups have been fresh skein, bright spinners, and a variety of lures, depending on current and light conditions. These early runs are just a preview of what’s to come, and based on the movement we’re already seeing, this season is shaping up to be an epic one. As temperatures drop and the salmon push further upriver, expect the action to heat up fast, with steelhead and lake trout soon joining the mix.

Eastern lake Erie is recording record catches on a dailey bases. Best catches ive ever seen in my lifetime. Season is almost over.

Kasey booked a trip as an add on to his vacation to visit Niagara Falls, up from Texas. With wife Justina and son Kayden in tow, we set out to catch whatever was biting. Got off to a fast start boating a couple tiny smallmouth and Justina got a decent 3.5lb smallie. Then the bite just shut down. Switched to walleye rigs and that bite was just as difficult. After a quick tour of downtown Buffalo, we set up nearer the Niagara River and in just three drifts each angler got a quality bite. Mom got another decent smallmouth, then Kasey caught a true beast of a smallie! Young Kayden stayed the course and after a long day of fishing, catching only a few small fish, he set the hook on the biggest fish of the day! A 7lb drum landed in the net after an extremely fierce battle! To say I was impressed is an understatement. His perseverance and concentration after a long day says a ton about the lads integrity and is a direct reflection of good parenting! Super nice, funny kid and great family. I might have had more fun thsn they did!
