would it be a good choice to try trolling for fall walleye in a river
I usually troll lake erie in the spring and summer
but what about trolling in the river during fall and winter ?
do you guys think it would be productive and what would you use as far as lures ?
depth would probably be around 25 to 40 feet, I assume or would the walleye be in deeper parts during the cold weather ?

you proably didn't get an answer because most of these guys fish west of here. Try http://www.niagarariverguides.com/sys-tmpl/door/ This is John Delorenzo. Or Try a search for Bob Cinelli. Both fish this river all the time, They'll tell you.
(Walleye) You won't get past the steelhead and lake trout.

I was out last, the day I met you. It has been windy. I missed my chance on Thanksgiving. I going to try again Sat. and Sun.
I fish Walleye spring, Summer and Fall on Erie. Then I move to the lower river for Salmon, Steelhead, and Lakers in the late fall and all winter.
It's easy pickin's. I can take any kids in the neighhood and I look like a hero.
I have the fizzing needle I promised you, so I'll watch out for you.

Man I should not have sold my boat... You guys got room for this Canucklehead?..love to join ya one day!!

So, what is the report on the river lately. I will be in Dunkirk NY on the 17th and Orchard Park on the 19th. It would be great to get on the river for a day or two in there.

What are the conditions and are the fish biting? More importantly, know anyone that will be fishing then with an open spot?

Thanks guys,
