I fished the Lower Niagara at Artpark this morning from shore and had the place almost to myself. There was only one other person on the entire stretch of shorline. We had a good morning, The other guy was bottom bouncing steelhead eggs with a slinky and I took advantage of both the uncrowded conditions and the fact that due to the stained water, the fish were tight to the shore and drifted brown trout sacks under a float.

There was about 2' visibility, perfect conditions in my opinion. Lots of browns jumping and porpoising this morning along shore. Craig ended up with a number of browns and lakers and one nice steelhead on. I struggled a little with the south wind and lots of slack line making for poor hook sets, but I took a beautiful clean hen brown about 4 lbs had a big steelie on for a bit and a nice laker about 14 lbs, lots of other float drops and crushed sacks that I never got a good hook set into. All fish were released.

Not a ton of boat traffic, though I saw several fellow LOTSA members in the boats that were out.

Nice morning and beautiful November weather.

Nice going Tim. Keep the reports coming.

Have you been able to hook up with Adam to fish the river with him?

Actually Rich, Adam was one of the LOTSA members I saw in the boats, but no, haven't had a chance to fish "with" him yet.
