Happy to sub! I fished the cut once 30 years ago, it’s nice to see the Niagara river is still alive and well. I moved to maine 20 years ago and switched to Salt water, but the Niagara is always special to me. Your vids show why.
It’s is the Canada side. I live in Buffalo , and I walk the devil’s hole trail, and I’m so mad this is on the opposite side of where I can get to 🤣🤦🏽♂️
Beautiful spot and nice fish! Just a personal note, would love to see you keep those guys in the water while in net and unhooking them... thanks for the vid.
Yeah, especially lakers who are super sensitive to being ripped out of the water. Looks like they went back, but they were certainly stunned. Nice job man, looks like a fun ole' time :)
The difficulty with the whirlpool is that it's depth is controlled by both rains and how much water the power plant releases each day. In the course of a day the water can rise or drop as much as 15ft. We had a lot of rain this year so the water was unusually high for a longer period of time. So high in fact that at times the whirlpool would stop moving and that's when the lakers really turned on. So given all of this I usually count anywhere from 5 to 7 seconds before retrieving my lure. I do this regardless of how high or low the water might appear to be because the shore appears to be a gradual and consistent slope. Good luck and tight lines!
Steelhead are out in the Lake during the mid Summer months, but they run up the river during mid October, November/December is peak for Steelhead in there.
