Niagara Report

Headed out from Whitby at 8am and caught the tail end of traffic. Got to my buddies in Niagara at 10am. Grabbed a coffee and our third buddy rolled up.
Got to the lot and hiked down and were on the water by 11am. BEAUTIFUL DAY. Zero degrees, mixed bag of sun and cloud, and low winds. Felt like April.
[Background story: Last night I tied up something brand new to me. Have heard of a certain type of lure being extremely successful and I tied up the pattern and made 12 of them]
I fold open my rig, attach one of these new jig patterns I have just made, and before I have even straightened out my line and composed myself my float is non existent. I thought I was on a rock. I ream on my rod and my line takes off. My two buddies haven't even got their rigs set up yet hahahaha. Put that on the backburner! Grab the net!!! 11lb Laker first drift to start the day.
The start, and what ended up being the highlight, of a beautiful day.
We stuck around on the water until about 5pm. Collectively we landed 6 Bows, 3 Lakers, and one FAT brown. Here is a couple of them.
Long trip home tonight, but well worth the adventure, as always!
As for my pattern that I got all of my fish on (which included the trout trifecta ) well, come along for the adventure next time

Funny enough, yesterday I was talking to my buddy from Niagra (who lives in Ottawa) and he was saying this is one of the best times of the year to fish there so seems like you guys made a solid call and you have the pics to back that up!
Cheers.
