I am 60 years old and have been fishing my whole life. I have never had a day like this at the whirlpool, even using the stingeye.....Ivo, you are my hero! You should have posters made so we fishermen can put-them up in our man caves.
I'm pretty sure the information from this amazing video is gonna help me catch my first real sport fish after numerous failed attempts. If/when that happens, I'll probably need to build the man a statue!
loving the colder weather. only a matter of time for when i can get on the ice for the first time (probably could now, but ill play it safe and give it another couple weeks or so, got all winter. I also have no time this week)
Hello IVO - You sure did have a wonderful time fishing in the Niagara River - a couple of nice Steelhead plus a nice Brown Trout - even tho you lost one fish it's better then loosing your Sting Eye Lure ( whew ) I keep on saying to my self " I have to buy one " hopefully Santa will get me one ( lol ) good video !
I'm jealous! I haven't fished since May, because of moving to a new house and lot's of thing taking away the free time I have. My fishing time suffered greatly, but I'll try to make it up next year!
Ivo I fished that exact location and nothing! Goes to show you that how things change from one day to the next! And i would definitely take a lot less gear down there the hike was brutal!
Awesome day's fishing Ivo. The first fish did it have a clipped front fin or was it just missing? Hope to meet you down there one day. Take care and great videos.
...the recipe is actually below the video in the description (you may need to hit the more button) but here it is - hope you enjoy it and give it a try someday :) ua-cam.com/video/aN0SjUwd4sI/v-deo.html
Hello Thundermist lures. I really wanted your opinion on when to go to the Niagara whirlpool, I wanted to try to catch browns, steels/rainbows & lakers. What time of the year do you think is best to try and catch any or all 3 of these trout?? I love your videos, I've been watching for years now, keep them coming. Thanks.
...winter, spring and fall are all great....right now you can get steelhead and soon lakers as well - once mid June arrives, typically the trout have moved out and you need to wait till fall :)
Thanks Ivo, I'm trying to target some steelhead in my local waterfall (snoqualmie) here in washington (my youtube pic) gonna order a few stingeye and t-turns. I missed what rod size and weight you have?
How do you get to this spot!!? I've been down to the lower Niagara twice with no luck. I've spent dozens of hours trying to catch a real sport fish without a single hit. I want to try to replicate what you did exactly, I'm desperate to catch a real fish!
Rafael, if you drive to the Niagara Whirlpool aero car then find the parking lot on the north side of the pool long the parkway. On Google Maps it is marked as 'Upper Whirlpool Trails'. About 40 m south is the stairs down. Be aware that climbing back up is quite an exercise.
@@thundermistlures thanks for your reply. I finally decided to buy one of these lures. Would it be worth trying at the whirlpool this time of the year? Or just better wait till spring?
Salmon start in September. Till late October. Steelhead are probably best in October or November. You can get small mouth and silver bass and walleye in the warmer months. Also occasional musky and sturgeon. Good luck.
...the gold or black are great choices for murky water or dark/cloudy days, whereas the silver or chartreuse are best in clear water or sunny days. Tough call just to pick one, but if |I had to, it would be between the Gold and the Chartreuse :)
roe bags are a sure thing, but beads and streamer flies and yarn flies are a close second...there are also other baits you can use such as spoons, spinners, and plastics :)
@@MrSturdystratus Far cry between silence and someone who runs their mouth constantly. If i was fishing with him, it would be the last time. Goofy Canadians.
@@andrewscott3184 your not fishing with him lol this a VIDEO to teach others tips and tricks. how do you know he talks this much when he is fishing and not doing a video if you never fished with him... i guess you can only imagine but when you imagine its not real
....true steelhead are a migratory fish, so yes, they could return from the Atlantic or in the case of the great lakes and fishing the rivers, it would be considered the same :) A steelhead is just a migratory Rainbow trout.....rainbows are basically land-locked :)
Gorgeous couple of fish, but there are no steelhead east of the rockies. None. A rainbow trout is a steelhead when it is anadromous. The salt water actually changes metabolism and the skeletal structure of the fish. No saltwater, and it stays a rainbow trout.
I really could watch Ivo fish all day, he’s like the Bob Ross of angling.
A VanDyke Brown Trout!
That's the truth! hahaha

Ivo that was some quality champion angling! You are an awesome fisherman. Steelheads and Brown trout what a day!
Love your videos Ivo. I grew up in Fort Erie and now living in Burlington. I miss this. I plan on hitting Niagara this weekend because of you!
Ivo allways postive 👍
for the folks
I love that scenery, beautiful even the fish
You fished at a right time. Water level looks good!
Nice fight with beautiful steelhead!
loving the colder weather. only a matter of time for when i can get on the ice for the first time (probably could now, but ill play it safe and give it another couple weeks or so, got all winter. I also have no time this week)
Love your videos and your message. So do my boys. Wish I were closer to steelhead fishing.
So glad you and your kids are enjoying our videos and |I'm sure you are all having some great days on the water together :)
What a great outing in this one Ivo. Great job!!!!! 👍😎🎣🐟🐟🐟
Hello IVO - You sure did have a wonderful time fishing in the Niagara River - a couple of nice Steelhead plus a nice
Brown Trout - even tho you lost one fish it's better then loosing your Sting Eye Lure ( whew ) I keep on saying to my self
" I have to buy one " hopefully Santa will get me one ( lol ) good video !
Great video!! Always enjoy the boat less videos more.Thank you Ivo.
great video once again, i thoroughly enjoyed it
Nice job. It doesn't surprise me that you did well. Shore anglers usually do better when the water is murky. Thanks
Temp ...is COLD!!! I need to use that one
good Job IVO!!!!!!
Love the whirlpool - you never really know what's on the other end of your line.
I'm jealous! I haven't fished since May, because of moving to a new house and lot's of thing taking away the free time I have. My fishing time suffered greatly, but I'll try to make it up next year!
Where is Antonio by the way Ive not seen him in a long time in your videos
Those were some real nice catches Ivo.. way to go brother
Great job Ivo!
Hello.
Nice Video. Go on doing this and enjoy your fishing.
Greetings from the northern of Germany
Those are some pretty fish 👍
Solid angling.
Amazing Ivo .... Great surroundings, great fish, great movie and a great man !! It's really great to see! Regards from the Netherlands! ;-)
So glad you enjoyed this episode Peter and great to hear from you in the Netherlands :) Good luck on the water
Always great vids thinking about getting some of those lures too
That was awesome Ivo
Long fight wow!
Love your videos Ivo
Ivo I fished that exact location and nothing! Goes to show you that how things change from one day to the next! And i would definitely take a lot less gear down there the hike was brutal!
Amazing dude
Awesome day's fishing Ivo. The first fish did it have a clipped front fin or was it just missing? Hope to meet you down there one day. Take care and great videos.
How about that recipe you mentioned 😀 sounded yummy where can I find it? Thanks, love your videos
...the recipe is actually below the video in the description (you may need to hit the more button) but here it is - hope you enjoy it and give it a try someday :) ua-cam.com/video/aN0SjUwd4sI/v-deo.html
wow!
Love your accent
It dont get much better!
Hey Ivo what mono do you like to run? When you’re not running fluoro or braid,
... I'm happy with the bass pro shops Excel brand....good quality and value :)
@@thundermistlures wow thanks for the reply on an old video! Keep up the great videos! When are you going back to some saltwater fishing?
@@HATINTHEKAT spring/summer of 2022....can't wait!!

Thanks Ivo, I'm trying to target some steelhead in my local waterfall (snoqualmie) here in washington (my youtube pic) gonna order a few stingeye and t-turns. I missed what rod size and weight you have?
...7 foot, medium action (1 piece rod) :)

@@MyStevieB Thanks!
Excellent video and beautiful trouts. Have you ever tried your lures in the river's mouth like the Credit or Bronte by any chance?
...have not made my way out there yet, but perhaps will someday :)
@@thundermistlures thanks for your reply. I finally decided to buy one of these lures. Would it be worth trying at the whirlpool this time of the year? Or just better wait till spring?
@@davidmarianella ...the Whirlpool is good all winter long, but once the ice builds it gets difficult to fish, but right now it is totally fine :)
Ivo, do you tie directly to the Stingeye Spinner or do you use a Duo-Lock Snap
Use the Duo-Lock Snap. He say's in the video that he "snapped on the sting eye spinner".
Thanks, didn’t catch that
Is there a certain time of year thats more productive at the whirlpool?
Salmon start in September. Till late October. Steelhead are probably best in October or November. You can get small mouth and silver bass and walleye in the warmer months. Also occasional musky and sturgeon. Good luck.
What color thundermist stingeye should I get if I can only choose one, for day fishing down at the whirlpool?
There ain't no choosing one because you,ll most likely lose several to snags. Call it paying the river. Lol
@@adamsmith8533 Ain't that the truth.
...the gold or black are great choices for murky water or dark/cloudy days, whereas the silver or chartreuse are best in clear water or sunny days. Tough call just to pick one, but if |I had to, it would be between the Gold and the Chartreuse :)
I am going to the whirlpool tomorow for sure but where does everyone buy the sting eye spinners
Hey bud. Try peters tackle in st.catharines. or you can order online at thundermist. Good luck.
....as Bubbs mentioned...Peters Tackle in |St. Catharines has a great selection of sizes and colors - good luck out there - should be a great day :)
@@thundermistlures ok thank you iv never actually been there so should be a good day if I catch a few aswell
Hi Ivo, if I may ask : what is the rod and reel that you are using? Thank you ~ really enjoying your vids ( and the fishing hat you sent me) .. :)
...it was a Pflueger reel and a Quantum Tour Edition (medium action) rod and glad you like the hat :)
what is your favorite place to fish for trout
...tough question...I love the Upper Niagara but also love the Lower Niagara as well as Port Dalhousie, so don't really have a favorite I guess :)
what is the best bait for trout
roe bags are a sure thing, but beads and streamer flies and yarn flies are a close second...there are also other baits you can use such as spoons, spinners, and plastics :)
Does anyone know where this is at?
On Google Maps it is marked as 'Upper Whirlpool Trails'
🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Sure like to talk. I don't think you ever stopped talking.
dude no shit its an instructional tips and tricks video, you want him to stand there in silence? lol

So the steelhead return from the Atlantic ocean?
....true steelhead are a migratory fish, so yes, they could return from the Atlantic or in the case of the great lakes and fishing the rivers, it would be considered the same :) A steelhead is just a migratory Rainbow trout.....rainbows are basically land-locked :)
Not steelhead sorry dude .just really awsome bows. No steel until they are anadramous
Ignorance is bliss!!
De barb your hooks man
Like if you wish you knew ivos exact spots
Gorgeous couple of fish, but there are no steelhead east of the rockies. None. A rainbow trout is a steelhead when it is anadromous. The salt water actually changes metabolism and the skeletal structure of the fish. No saltwater, and it stays a rainbow trout.
I caught several steelheads in lake erie today.
Not steelhead just nice trout inform your self
not true.
Whats not true
@@vincealeksa2812 They are steelheads, no matter what a moron like you think. lol
The word is FOLK. It's already plural.
You are obviously not a good ole' boy, then
