Striped Bass
While Niagara Falls might be famous for its freshwater spectacle, targeting Striped Bass near the mouth of the Niagara River where it meets Lake Ontario offers a unique angling experience. This is a mixed freshwater/brackish environment, requiring understanding of both river and lake fishing tactics. Spring and fall migrations are the peak seasons as stripers move in and out of the lake. Focus on areas where the river current meets the lake's calmer waters. Use natural presentations like live eels or cut bait, and be prepared to adjust your depth with the temperature and current. Access can be gained from various shoreline parks and boat launches along the lower Niagara River. Be aware of the strong currents and potential for hazardous conditions, especially during periods of high water flow. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on striper activity and water conditions.
