Niagara River/Bar

[Sean Youngblood]

My friend Bob and I fished The Niagara river yesterday.We caught 5 Steelhead biggest 9.5lbs.While fishing the Stella Niagara drift we saw a deer that decided it would defect from Canada.It swam about 50 yards from the boat.It looked pretty tied by the time it reached the shore on the US side.This was a first for me.We went out to the Bar and got 1 Lake Trout on minnows.Slow day of fishing but a beautiful day to be out.

2 different times I saw deer about 1 mile offshore at Pt Breeze swiming. One was about an 8 pt. Don't know where they thought they were going.

Saw the same thing years ago at Pt. Breeze. Just last year the Double Play boys from Olcott turned one back to shore, and safety, with their boat. It was a young buck that was already exhausted by the time it reached 70' of water. Senior deer observers in both areas say it is dogs or coyotes chasing them, and they go to the water to escape.

As for Sean's fishing report, isn't it great that we consider 5 or 6 beautiful trout, SLOW? We are living in the "good ole' days" of Great Lakes Salmon and trout fishing.
