FISH NIAGARA
Niagara - A River Runs Through Us
… and it's filled with
FISH!
By Bill Hilts Jr. - Outdoor Sports Specialist
Sportfishing opportunities in Niagara abound. Whether it's to chase a winning
fish in one of the many derbies and tournaments held here throughout the
year or simply a chance to have your family enjoy some great fishing for
a wide variety of species in a scenic setting, Niagara County has something
for everyone.
Salmon, trout, bass, walleye, muskellunge … the list is a long one and
trophy class potential for every one of these fish types. Surrounded by the
waters of the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and the Erie Canal, Niagara County
sports year-round opportunities that can be reeled in by novice and veteran
anglers alike. A professional charter fleet is on hand to meet your every need
in the Niagara River or out of the ports of Youngstown, Wilson and Olcott for
the lake.
If you're land bound, there is great shore fishing in the Niagara gorge (such
as at the New York Power Authority fishing platform or along Artpark in Lewiston);
Burt Dam and the lower portion of 18 Mile Creek in Newfane, highlighted by
a half-million dollar improvement project; and much, much more. Pick up a copy
of the Greater Niagara Hot Spot Fishing Map to help you plan your adventure.
A weekly fishing report is currently recorded at 1-877-FALLS US. Make sure
