niagara Niagara Falls USA Fishing Forecast for April 25, 2019 from Destination Niagara USA

[Niagara County]

Monday of this week saw the NYPA start the process of removing the ice boom at the head of the river. As of Thursday, there was still 3 or 4 percent of the lake ice to push through the system. Lower Niagara River trout action continues to be decent. Artpark is still a good spot to be from boat and shore. Steelhead are the top target using large emerald shiners according to Lisa Drabczyk at Creek Road Bait and Tackle in Lewiston. Boaters are averaging 8 to 10 fish per trip that also includes the occasional brown trout and lake trout. Egg sacs will also work for trout. If you get the right wind direction, Kwikfish or MagLips off three-way rigs can work well. Shoreline casters will use No. 4 spinners, spoons or jigs. If you prefer using a float, use an egg sac or an egg imitation. Jigs will work, too.
