Good point as to how you can fish the 2 rivers,but the steelhead are monsters in the lower Niagara.there is 1 drift you can flyfish in the Niagara,never done it myself but seen a thread sometime ago about a guy who caught a huge brown in that spot,don't know how he made out on steels,but we have drifted the run and hit steel quite often.I'm on Erie now and have some nice wadable h2o by me,I know what you mean.
How have your numbers been since the so called crash a few years back?.I see the DEC is blaming the lower numbers on a vitiman deficincy,B or D not sure which,DEC is saying a lack of alewives and smelt could be the key like in Michigan.
