Thanks for you help guys! I will also do some inquiring when I go to the bait shop to purchase my NY license. I'm heading out tomorrow morning....the weather is supposed to be good. Take care.

Hi there. I'm new here and glad to join the forum. I'm an avid muskie hunter who recently has gained an interest in the steelhead, laker and brown trout fishing on the Lower Niagara. I'm heading up there on Thursday and Friday to try my luck on my own vessel, since I already went out with a guide a few weeks ago and hopefully learned some tricks. Here is my main concern...I will be purchasing a N.Y. license. I heard that there is a law that prohibits fishing the Canadian side. Is this a fact? If so, how do you know where the line is? Or are you simply supposed to stay on the American side to fish? Also, I wanted to fish the Bar by the green bouy at the mouth of the river where it enters the Lake Ontario. Am I permitted to fish there with the NY license? I'm just a little concerned about these regulations and want to be sure not to break any laws. Finally, any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm stocked up on kwikfish K-9s, 3 ways, sinkers and red #6 bait hooks and all of my equipment is ready to go....I hope we have a good couple of days! Thanks Guys, Paul F.
