Niagara Falls

Walleye action also continues to be good to very good for both good numbers and size the entire length of the river.

The best walleye action is reportedly on the Niagara Bar, with fish up to 12.5 pounds being taken recently.

It sounds like a broken record, but the lower Niagara River is still producing good action for both walleye and smallmouth bass.

Bass can be found from Devil’s Hole to the Niagara Bar. Crabs and shiners can be fished off three-way rigs. Artificial baits will also produce a good deal of action.

The river and Niagara Bar have been producing big-time walleyes in both numbers and size, according to one report.

Numbers of bass are being caught along the bank from Artpark to the Coast Guard station. The best action was on the Niagara Bar, with crayfish presented on a three-way rig or drop-shot rig.

Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, dropshots, and live bait rigs have all been producing fish both shallow and deep here.

Drifting the Niagara Bar is a great starting location when targeting walleye.

Fishing in the lower Niagara River has been good for both bass and walleye.
