Niagara drifting with Vince

[Gill-T]

I had enough of winter.  With boat launches still locked in ice I decided to cure what ails us all by booking a drift trip.  We were greeted with 15 degree air temp with a stiff 15 mph N wind all morning.  Despite the cool temps, the sun was shining and the sights, sounds and smells of being on the water for the first outing of the year kept us smiling (or we froze in that position).  Today was a grind day, but we managed a mixed bag of steelhead, brown trout and walleye.  And so it begins.... another year of fishing.  If you are thinking about trying a drift trip and are worried about the run being almost done.....I would say it is just getting started.  Do it.  Very reasonable cost.  Vince has a nice 22' boat with high gunnels (safer for tall fishermen) and he will work hard to put you on fish.  Capt.

I always do better in the spring with the emerald shiners than eggs.  You get more of a mixed bag too.
