Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – April 22 , 2021

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – April 22 , 2021 Frank Campbell The smelt are still hanging on in the lower Niagara River and the white bass are starting to show, too. Salmon are beginning a spring feeding frenzy between the Niagara Bar and 30 Mile Point – just in time for some derbies and tournaments on the local front. Both Mike Rzucidlo and Mike Ziehm of Niagara Falls reported catching some of the first white or silver bass of the season, using 5-inch Zoom plastics on jigs and big No. 4 and No. 5 spinners. In addition to the white bass, they were also catching some big lake trout up to 15 pounds this week from shore. Some muskies and sturgeons are also showing up cruising the shoreline. Musky season is completely closed, and sturgeon are a protected species. It is illegal to target these fish. According to Ziehm, water visibility was 5 to 7 feet and he did catch some steelhead as well in the gorge including some fresh fish. Water levels were low, fishing with h

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – April 1 , 2021

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – April 1 , 2021 Greater Niagara Region Frank Campbell Happy Easter! April 1 is the traditional opener of the state’s inland trout fishing season. Of course, this does not include Great Lakes tributaries (they are open all year). However, it does include Gill Creek, Hyde Park Lake and Oppenheim Park Pond. Due to COVID-19 concerns, the state will not be announcing a specific time and date for when fish will be stocked. One way to keep tabs is to call the fish stocking hotline at 358-2050 to see when fish are stocked after the fact. They are usually stocked the first week in April. The NYPA Fishing Platform, including the elevator and the fish cleaning station, should be open starting April 1. Check the hotline at 286-6662 to see the status. The upper reservoir and the water intakes in the upper river are both open as well. Some mixed smelt reports in the lower river. We heard of one decent report prior to the water changing color, bu

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – March 11, 2021

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – March 11, 2021 Frank Campbell Air temperatures are scheduled to break the 60 mark today so being outdoors is a must. While it will be cooling back into the 40s by the weekend, spring is just around the corner. March 15 is the final day for walleye, pike, pickerel, and tiger musky action in the state, but there is still plenty of trout fishing to be had here – in both the tributaries and the Niagara River. Our tip of the week comes for Captains Ernie and Nick Calandrelli, who took Kevin Kishel of East Aurora out on Tuesday in the lower Niagara. The trio did very well on steelhead using Kishel’s Fish Scent on MagLip plugs, and fished off 3-way rigs. It really seemed to make a difference. Lower Niagara River trout action is picking back up again and best baits have been egg sacs or egg imitations, minnows or shiners and any kind of a body bait like a Kwikfish or a MagLip from boats, all fished off 3-way rigs. Water clarity is good.

Upstate and Western New York Fishing Report – February 18, 2021 Bill Hilts, Jr. Things are set for the Roger Tobey Memorial Steelhead Contest sponsored by the Niagara River Anglers Association on Feb. 27. Sign up at Creek Road Bait and Tackle in Lewiston or the Lewiston launch ramp the morning of the event. Remember that you must be a member of the NRAA to compete in the contest. Cold temperatures (it was single digits this morning) haven’t kept fishermen from fishing on the water, be it open or frozen. Yes, there is still some open water fishing going on. Capt. Richard Brant of Tonawanda sends word that he had some great fishing days in the lower Niagara River over the weekend despite the cold weather. There is quite a bit of ice chunks flowing through the river system, too. Water temps were 32 degrees, and the wind has been so cold it was making skim ice on the surface making fishing conditions tough according to Brant.
