Anglers are still into brown trout and now seeing a few more steelhead. Atlantic salmon action is now more spread out, but hook-ups can still be expected.

The fall perch bite is on here. Panfish can be caught in 15-20 feet of water using minnows or small hair jigs.

Rainy River still has rare late-season open water, with excellent walleye fishing using a jig and minnow around edges, current breaks, and holes.

Muskie activity has picked up here as the water cools down. Most follows and catches have been near green weedlines.

The Lower Niagara River has seen plenty of action over the past week with high numbers of anglers, but fish are still cooperating throughout the system.

Definitely feeling like the end of the open-water season is fast approaching, but this past weekend’s weather allowed many to take their boats out again. Those who went out had some decent success with perch

There are great opportunities for brown trout and Atlantic salmon and steelhead angling this time of the year.

The best action remains in 15-25 feet of water. The water temperature has dropped to 42 degrees, and the fish are active.

Water temps are good for lake trout here now, and they are showing up near breakwalls and structure.
