Whirlpool for Steel

[oldbronteguy]

Had the day off work so I took my outfit for a hike down at the Niagara on Thursday to see what the conditions were like. Had a look at the whirlpool from up top and it did not look to promising. So I started at the Glen, went down river and found a small pool to cast into about 300 to 400 meters up stream from pebbly. After about an hour the ice came in, no hits. Looking up river it looked iced in along the shore so I decided to just go for a hike to the pool to check out conditions. The ice shelves were higher than I have seen down there in many years, and any open water where you could drop a line was just way too dangerous. I would say we won't be fishing down there until at least middle of March.
