Niagara Falls

I was in Niagara Falls for a few days this week, and while visiting the falls , I noticed a school 50 or more fish (2x the size of a Seagull) in a small pool near the foot of the falls, I assume that they were a Salmon of somekind... :dunno:

 

Can someone educate me please?

 

Thanks

2x the size of a seagull = 10x the size of a squirell= 2 gallons of beer= 4x the size of a goats brain. Is my math correct?

my guess salmon, great fish'in hole there if you don't get tossed out.A few locals have access but it's not like years ago when it was no problem fishing there

 

How did they get down there? On foot? Or by boat?

 

Say that it were by boat, could you get tossed out ,if so why?

On foot Randy, I assure you there is no way to get there by boat.

 

 

On foot ?... unreal!! :stretcher:

 

You'd almost have to be a skilled 1/2 Billygoat mountaineer/angler to get down there.

 

What prevents you from getting ther by boat?

Oh! :stretcher: :stretcher:

 

I just checked out the satellite images on Google Maps...

I now see why you can't there by boat...you can't seen to go anywhere upstream from the Whirlpool.

It's not even safe to go to the whirlpool by boat unless you're on one of the tourist jet boats.

 

But up by the falls there is a set of stairs (somewhere) that'll take you down to the "Maid of the Mist" docks, from there I guess you Billy Goat it. blink.gif

There is a road down to the Maid of the Mist...fished there many times..awesome spot. The road splits and goes down to the old hydro station there where you saw the fish, Randy. Since 9/11 you gotta be chummy with security to get down there. It is worth whatever bribe that gets you in, though.

Best Steelhead hole on the entire river IMO.
