niagara Niagara Falls USA Fishing Forecast for Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018 from Destination Niagara USA

[Niagara County]

In the ice fishing arena, it’s been a good ice fishing year so far but with the recent rain and warm weather, you will really want to be very careful out there. The last time this happened a few weeks ago, the ice in Olcott Harbor was affected due to the excessive flow coming through the 18 Mile Creek system. Wilson was not as severely affected and at last report there was up to 6 inches of ice. There is quite a bit of water open right now at Burt Dam and 18 Mile Creek and with the added flow of water, it should be pulling in some fresh fish into the system. Anglers are reporting steelhead with the occasional brown trout mixed in. White or black jigs tipped with a wax worm and fished under a float was working for Greg Schloerb of Amherst this past week.
