Nor unless you want to glow the dark.
Explanation please... The niagara is the drainage for a bunch of the great lakes. While georgian bay and superior fish are fine to eat, it is generally accepted that due the pollutants flowing through the niagara the fish are too full of toxins to eat. I think the recommended daily number of smelt recommended to eat from there is one fish per day. Now multiply that by how many smelt a trout eats to get to 7 lbs and that some serious bioaccumulation of toxins. That's how it's been explained to me, but I am far from an expert on that body of water

Eating large fish on a regular basis from areas with industrial pollution or even natural methyl mercury in remote places is not good. I imagine eating large fish from the Niagra river would be like a round of chemotherapy.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I love fishing that river.
We used to go up every year around Easter and fish the devil's hole area. One year we had a guide that took us out on the bar. Pulling big browns and Lakers was fun.
It definitely was an interesting trip going up river.
