Niagara River Multi-Species Sunday

in #fishing7 years ago (edited)

Josh Hedden invited me out onto the Niagara last Sunday. Our usual schtick is I target musky while he targets smallmouth bass but due to seasonal restrictions, we decided to target trout that day. My expectations were very low...so that helped.

Close-ups, because we're beautiful.

A bunch of OOS smallies getting in the way, as they always do on the Niagara.

Every fish that day bit the LIVETARGET Rainbow Smelt (RS115D221) in the new Silver/Orange custom Canadian colour except for the walleye, which bit Gold/Orange (also a new custom Canadian colour). All my fish were landed with a Daiwa Fuego 3000H paired to a Daiwa Tatula XT, spooled with Power Pro Super Slick 30lb braid and Seaguar 15lb fluorocarbon leader.
