Not bad for our first time. :)

We (my son and I) hit basspro on the way down looking for some turkey loads but not much selection :(... From there we left for the Niagara River.
This is our first time going fishing at the whirlpool... Paying for parking sucks..... Long walk down but even longer walk up for an out of shape fellow but with a couple spots along the way to catch my breathe, it went surprisingly better than I thought...
We fished for about 1hr or so. We just went to kill some time (check it out)..... Managed one nice rainbow...

Very Nice! Always wanted to try the lower Niagara just haven't got around to it.

Always wanted to give that a try. Congrats

Nice. Yes on my bucket list also.

Congrats nice fish

Nice Bow. I grew up in the area and spent many a day and nights in the "Pool". Too old for that spot now, my knees and back won't take the walk out. Best memories are a 35 lb. fresh run Chinook and an 8 plus lb. Pickerel along with numerous Trout, Bass and coarse fish.......................Daniel

Awesome catch! Whirpool is a great spot. Got a huge sheephead last time I was there, and lost a few lures.
