NIAGARA River STEELHEAD on the SWING | Fly Fishing

Still can't believe I managed to land 2 steelhead on the swing at the Niagara. For those of you who have never fished the Niagara, it has unpredictable raging currents and can reach depths of 100+ feet. Of course, I wasn't fishing nearly that deep around the shore but even near shore on average it is around 10 feet deep.

Don't think I'll ever be able to reproduce this day nor will I attempt it again, but I'm glad I got it on film to say I did it.

Thanks for watching.
