Niagara River GuidesFishing On the Lower Niagara has been great the last couple of weeks of 2011. Fishing at Artpark and the devils hole with salmon egg sacks has produced consistant catches of 15-20 Steelhead and brown trout a day. The wind storms we had on New years day muddied the water up but as soon as it clears fishing should really pick up as there are more trout in the river then I've seen in many years. All the down river drifts like Jackson, Stella and Fort Niagara will all start producing as the water gets down into the 30's.
