MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Okay so I arranged to meet my friend form missisauga down there on saturday at the Boat Launch above the falls near the whirl pools what does that mean... well i know what it means but how the HELL do I get there... plz help me
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 Lol, I forgot too mention that I only have 9 flies Popsicle 2 egg sucking leeches purple/black caddis larve autmn wooly bugger crystal beadhead bugger (green) duddles steelehad stone Great lakes nymph carp Creek
solopaddler Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Still tons of ice and slush especially in the whirlpool, I'd wait a bit.
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 Lol, i wish i could, im there for a hockey tourney so its now or never
Ziki Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Who is your buddy?? The whirlpool is below the falls. Anyone else see something fishy about all this?
BillM Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 I think you are talking the Queenston ramp, I myself just figured out where it was (Thanks Jack! lol) You are going to have a real tough time down there with a flyrod, it's big river. I would bring a spinning setup as backup.
Hellfish Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 The whirlpool is certainly below the falls, flyfishing @ queenston would be a little difficult that to say the least as was said earlier you want to hit up the glen or the whirpool with your fly rod im sure it is possible to flyfish queenston but with the amount of ppl that will be out there soon it will be nearly impossibly. If Paul or niagrafisher read this thread im sure they will chime in with some info on flyfishing the mighty niagara
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 My friends name is Matthew Saivea, ehs a centre pin guy and says he gonna bottom bounce, i figure if im down there I may as well wet a line... right?
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 thats where im talking bout ... the boat launch at dumbfires and princess street
charlied Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 get yourself on the niagara parkway. go past the power plant and stick to your right at the circle after the power plant. go down the hill and dumphreys is like the second street at the bottom of the hill. make a right turn on dumphreys and follow that straight thru 2 stop signs and continue going straight. can't miss the launch
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Posted January 30, 2009 THANK YOU!, is it a productive spot?
charlied Posted January 30, 2009 Report Posted January 30, 2009 it can be if you know how to fish it. Like some of the other guys said it is not a fly fishing spot but maybe your friend will set you up with a bottom bouncing set-up. Alot of fish hold in there before the spring run up the rapids.
dnb_cbr Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Well, how did it go? I just seen your partner's facebook status. It said he got 9 chromers. That's a great day for sure! How was the ice flow situation?
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 lol, didnt even go...IM really cheezed, like i died a little on the inside
BillM Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 You wouldn't have even made a cast, you didn't miss out on much. So much ice flow I made maybe 5 decent drifts with my float setup on Saturday and that was it. Chatted with a few guys down there, all were bottom bouncing. Flyfishing would have been an even worse decision
MarcusDiGiovanni Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 Pfew, okay good, i didnt miss much
