Hey fellow hunters. I have been fishing lotw the last four summers. Due to un forseen circumstances, I will be staying around home this summer which is Niagara Falls Ontario. I am un familiar with this area for musky fishing. I am wondering if you guys have any tips, for ythis area, ie. Any colours that work, or even any areas that are good to fish. Thanks guys.

Over the past several seasons, Swim shads and Red October monster tubes have been the most productive baits on the Niagara. A shift in forage to the round goby, and the rivers swift current, that encourages fish to stay near the bottom have helped this trend.

Here"s a link to a video I put together several years ago to support a habitat improvement project. It was filmed in the Niagara, and you can see how these fish live.

Ravigne,

I'd strongly recommend that you look into joining Muskies Canada: http://www.muskiescanada.ca/. There's a chapter in Hamilton with guys that fish Erie and the Niagara. I know those guys would LOVE to hear about your experiences on LOTW as many guys in southeastern Ontario haven't had the opportunity to fish up that way.
