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.
