Booked a guided trip to fish the Niagara river. Our guide Lyle had been out yesterday plus other trips but said the bar was fishing well and asked if we minded starting there and no one objected. Take the 7 mile or so trek down the river and we setup in 90fow just after 7am. Our first drift we landed 4 eyes…what a start. All I can say is the bar did not disappoint at all today with 5 different species being landed. We got walleye, lake trout, browns, salmon and white bass. We hooked at least 50 plus fish but the three of us all went home with two salmon and 2 eyes each. We would start the drift in 90 fow and finish around 20 fow. We only had one drift without a hook up throughout the whole trip.
After talking to other guys out at the lake as well as the dock they all said the same thing , how insane the fishing is and they have never experienced a day like today. The surprise for me was the number of salmon we got and heard caught today. What a fight on light gear….arms were a little sore at times with some of the fights.
We also heard of one sturgeon being caught as well today that took them over 30 minutes to land.
Here are a few pictures from the day.
