lol that is the best when the young man thought he hooked the bottom of the river. Nice to see someone actually trying to teach ppl how to fight the fish. Keep up the great job, but I do miss my days down there lol be well.... I do not miss the boats lol
Great video. The one thing missing for a LNR 1st timer is where you were fishing, but then again, maybe your intent is not to crowd your fishing spots. Have watched many of your videos and that is a common theme. Have not fished there in some 40 years and your videos have given me the urge to fish it again.. Went looking for info for fishing access points for the LNR and did not find much in the way of information on line. Understand that your not the only provider of LNR fishing content, but it would be nice to see info as to where to park and even the difficulty of walking down and up. Anyways - thanks for the content and do please consider providing more info for us to access this great fishing resource. And - how about a series for the LNR on each of the access areas.
Thanks, glad you liked the content. Access to this river is treacherous or just long walks in almost all areas. Check out state parks for well-known access points and good luck!
The NYPA fishing platform is a good spot especially if you're not comfortable with the somewhat treacherous walk down to the Lower Niagara. There's plenty of parking access and the walk down to the fishing platform is not bad. It's also handicapped accessible.
Good fun video. I do wonder though, why bring a long handled net then wade out just to net the fish? You know it’s coming to shore and you don’t have to get into the water to net it right? I just ask as obviously you could slip and fall in which would ruin your day fast.
Thanks! Yes, we’re fishing slip floats. The depth changes with the current speed and the actual depth of the drift but on average you’re fishing between 10’ and 20’ deep.
@willsworldoutdoors ok thanks. I thought I saw a bobber stop on one of your rods. After our trip to the falls last year I think I would really like to try that river. We used to fish a lot on the Genesee,slater, oak, sandy and 18 mile. We always stayed away from Niagara cause the big water intimadated us.
Thanks! We use a 3/4 ounce inline weight below the float to get everything down fast. Check out other river videos in our steelhead playlist. We go over the rigging pretty often to help everyone out. Good luck!
Hey will you mentioned your friend uses the fly rod, I’ve been wanting to use mine on the Niagara do you think you could do a setup rundown for a fly rod there
Those people fishing for trout on boats too close to the shore have no respect for the anglers fishing from the shore. Not only does it disrupt the experience, but their boat motors can cut your line if you hook a fish and it starts running for deeper water. They get way too close when they see someone catching a fish no damn respect at all. They should be ticketed for this reckless behavior. Respect the shore anglers! Great video, awesome catch, guys!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video. Only once in awhile do the boats interrupt the fishing and if you shout out that you have a fish in near them they’ll have their clients reel up which is cool. The motor noise is a problem and I think it scatters the fish pretty often. Just how it goes.
The boats drift close to shore because they're running 3-way bottom-bouncing rigs in 8-20 ft of water. There's a steep drop-off in the Lower...water depth reaches 80-90 ft 20-30 ft off the shore, so the boats are almost always close to the shoreline anglers...there's not much space for them to fish as a result of the steep drop-off, so the boats always cluster up in there this time of year.
Confusing reply. No one has more rights over the other to fish the water. The boats and shore anglers are targeting fish all within the same area and water depth because that’s where the fish are. It not hard to fish with the boats or the boats to fish with the on shore anglers if no one gets the “this is my spot” mentality. If you fish areas like this you should know what to expect and come with a good community mind set.

Awesome video man 👍👍 way to coach them up 😃
Thanks it was a lot of fun!
19:50 I think Cole needs to switch out his waders for a life jacket 😂😂 Nice lakers😎👍
He’s nuts! Couldn’t believe he went in that far to net that fish.

Thank you!
Beautiful fish and great teaching, well done
Many thanks!

Thanks 👍Glad you enjoyed it!
@willsworldoutdoors of course.
Great video bro as usual, but I'm surprised steelhead isn't active yet .
Thanks! It’s just a matter of time for the steelhead.

That’s a great suggestion I hadn’t thought about. Thanks for offering up that info!

The net man was overly aggressive that day for sure!
Great video. Were you slip float fishing if so how far up the line was your stop?

Great vid but can I ask how you get your beads so low in the water? Like how do you set up your rig for Niagara. Still learning 😅

@ thanks for the tips 👍🏻

We can try to make that happen this season. He’s figuring it out and now we just need to get some fish to the net!

Nice lakers. Looks like you could be using one step up heavier gear - rod and spinning reel that is. Happy fishing!
@WisconsinTroutFishing you’re right but man is it fun and the rod allows us to use lighter leaders without much trouble. Thanks for watching!
