outdoor Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Can anyone give me directions and pointers for the lower Niagara? I generally fish for Bass but thought I'd like to give the Niagara a try. I'm guessing spinners and spoons are the lure's of choice. Any info would be appreciated.

Paully Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 ... roe and streamers are the lures of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 What are you fishing for? Steelhead? If so, roe, streamers, egg sucking leeches, etc etc. Typical steelhead stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 The best lure for salmon and steelhead on the lower Niagara would be the Quick Fish. VERY similar to the old Flat Fish lure. Fished on a three way rig just like you do when you drift roe. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks for the tips but where can I launch at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Mapquest Dumfries Rd. Queenston. The ramp is straight on through at the end of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoor Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks, Spiel, the last time I tried to launch there in the fall it was closed. Maybe they were fixing it up or something. I ended up having to go all way back to Grimsby. Hopefully it will be open on Sunday to get the lines wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think the only time it's ever 'closed' is when you don't feel like breaking ice in order to get the boat in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shayne Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Was down there today Jack.....The bait of the day was a small piece of Scnieder's weiner.....with a touch of mayonaise. Too much mayo and you wont catch anything, so be conservative!! The key, was to fish the piece of weiner about a foot below the surface!! They were killing them!! :D :lol: :lol: Steelhead Edited March 13, 2009 by steelhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebco Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 You might have went to the wrong entrance last time, you used to be able to use them both b4 the jet boat took over now there is a gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
