River color was near perfect water temperature was 46°. The problem for today was not being able to get out in the lake due to heavy east wind, waves were close and choppy, and they made trolling very difficult managed 2 king Salmon but both fish got off out on the Niagara bar, caught bass and trout in the river on live minnows

Water temperature 46 degrees, winds northeast 10 to 15 mph. Water clarity is murky green. Morning air temp 28 degrees warmed into the low 50s. Lake ontario was big and angry, which limited our time in the niagara bar. We managed 1 lake trout pulling plugs. River fished amazing for big smallmouth bass. Found a few brown trout as well. Upper sections of the river did not produce.

Lower Niagara River and Lake Ontario surface temperature was 48°. Winds were supposed to be calm in the morning, but they didn't settle until early afternoon. Lake was too rough to troll plugs. So we fished the river using 3 ways and live bait to take brown trout and artificial baits for bass. Once the lake calmed down, we were able to get out on the Canadian side of the Niagara bar where water was cleaner and trolled maglips in 22 feet of water to catch lake trout, brown trout and cohos we also went out to 4 mile creek where we also picked up cohos. Niagara was running dirty but fishable.
