Walleye
Buffalo provides excellent walleye opportunities, particularly in Lake Erie and the Niagara River. Lake Erie, with its vastness and diverse structure, is a walleye haven. The Niagara River, known for its strong currents, also holds a healthy population. Spring and fall are the most productive seasons, coinciding with walleye migrations. In Lake Erie, trolling crankbaits along drop-offs and near reefs is a proven method. In the Niagara River, jigging with heavy bucktails or blade baits can be effective. A crucial local tip: pay attention to water temperature, as walleye tend to congregate in specific temperature zones. Also, be mindful of the strong currents in the Niagara River and use appropriate tackle. The walleye in these waters are known for their size and fighting ability, offering a thrilling experience for anglers.
