Well after lots of practice "drilling ice", I decided I needed to catch a fish. Lol
So I got up early and hit the Lower Niagara River. Beautiful morning.
Ended up going 2 for 3.
Here's some pics.

Hey Mark, some nice fish. I was just at Sail trying to buy some waders but surprise they don't have anything my size in stock. I tried on a few Simms and am likely going to order on line now that I know what size in need. I am itching to get back into float and fly fishing. Your making me jealous.

Nice fish Mark At least you can brought home dinner this time. We decided to go drilling today, and needless to say, we left the fish in the lake.

Hey Craig, thanks.
I need to go to Sail, I'm in need of new rain gear. I'm thinking the new Frabill FXE Stormsuit.
Nicole, thanks it was a great morning. Sorry you guys didn't do well. Next time!
Cheers!

There were a ton of people there at first light. But I guess after a couple hours of not catching they left. bonus for me.
Cheers!

The visibility wasn't bad, I've seen it better. Probably a couple feet?
From the shore line I could see out about 5'-6'.
I'll be back out for sure.
Cheers!

Welcome to the board iront69. Lots of good people and info here but you do need to ask your questions in a more timely fashion. Most of us were asleep in the time between your question and you leaving.
When you get back, start a new topic, give us a report on what you tried and how you did, I'm sure someone will chime in with comments.

Haha.. Yes, that was a late post..

But, bottom bouncing is the way to go with large pencil weights (3/4 to 1 oz). Braided line and fluoro leader. Hang the weight on a three way swivel with 20lb+ line and be prepared for some snags. For bait use roe or streamer flies.
