Niagara Falls Steelhead with Paul Castellano - Facts of Fishing full episode season 8 episode 7

This week Dave is joined by expert Niagara guide, Paul Castellano as the two travel to the base of Niagara Falls in search of some cold, crazy line-screaming steelhead.

[crowman]

Has to be one of the best shows cinematically out there.

Love this. I too spent some childhood trips wondering what kinds of fish lurked beneath the current of the Falls. I probably won't get a chance to experience this myself but it was great watching it through Dave's 'eyes ' so far o speak.

“It’s like fishing in the lord of the rings” perfectly said.

[ryanlewis]

literally the best niagara steeelhead video on YouTube. I think I've watched this like 10 times.

[MarkPolsky]

As always! The facts are what matters! Great show guys!

[spellmanpat]

so cool!!! I'm born and raised right here in the best city in the world buffalo ny and Niagara falls only fifteen minutes from buffalo it's like a second home and today you have answered so many questions I had for years are there fish and the base of the falls? how deep and what type of fish would be down there

[joonaslehtonen]

Oh, you didnt die in front of Spark Steakhouse in NYC back in 85', but actually went to wittnes protection program and relocated in Buffalo NY and started offering fishing trips for price to tourists. Smart move man, very smart. Your practicly too close for your old goombatas to spot you.

[lakeseafishing]

awesome show, good fishing wish I was there.

[Iordinfamous]

damn, i didnt know paul castellano survived the sparks steak house shooting by john gotti.

[dustyderrik]

People have no idea being that close to the falls and walking on those rocks is insanely dangerous. I live here and people get swept into that river every summer multiple times.

Thank you for the comment about the baitcast/levelwind reel. I see zero point to a centerpin, as the baitcaster will allow you to free spool even easier. Fighting fish seems much easier by finding the right drag setting and thumbing the reel. The only benefit I could see is casting light presentations and less chance of a bird's nest, but I don't know if that is true. Plus, baitcasters appear to be much cheaper. The problem is they don't make many long and limber rods for baitcasters.

[thebrooder]

I used to go down to this exact spot until about 2012. Walk down before sunrise, walk back up through a mop of tourists looking at you like you have 3 heads.

[bigsadie]

i didnt think we be seeing you around so quick after your incident in front of sparks steak house

[LittleJinsoyun]

how did they get to that area? I thought it was inaccessible

[senzuedible]

I live near Niagara and I've seen at the bottom on the rocks some people's line and lured broken up

[capitalp]

How do you get approval to fish here? What is the process?

[Nobody-cg]

You can fish everywhere else in the lower Niagara. Just as or more dangerous elsewhere down the river. Has to be a tourist thing.

[Carlos-gfox]

How much line do you put from the T swivel to the weight.? Close to the same 6 feet like the leader?

[Quazie]

Do the steelhead still migrate to the base ?

[spellmanpat]

be on the lookout for the two intelligent gentleman who went over the falls in a kayak and the other gentlemen who went over in a jetski for they were never found so who knows you may hook more than steelhead
