niagara Niagara Falls USA Fishing Forecast for Oct. 16, 2019 from Destination Niagara USA

[Niagara County]

As this is being written, it’s raining throughout WNY, providing some much-needed water flow in the Lake Ontario tributaries and hopefully pull more salmon and steelhead into them. There are a fair number of kings at Burt Dam and 18 Mile Creek according to Karen Evarts at The Boat Doctors in Olcott. Mixed reports from anglers – some catching a few, some striking out. Pier action has been slow. Some anglers with small boats are working the creek in some of the deeper holes and picking up some salmon. The dam has a good mix of fish but getting them to hit with all the pressure has been tough. With the added rains, one option might be to seek out streams away from the high-pressure areas for a mix of trout and salmon. With the opening of numerous hunting seasons this weekend, stream pressure should be lighter, and the weather should be good.
