Anglers visit Niagara USA

The Niagara Tourism and Convention Corp. helped to land some big ones in the outdoor media world. Writers from top outdoor publications including Field and Stream, Bassmaster and The Outdoor Channel visited this spring.

"May is one of the best times of year for sportfishing in Niagara USA," said Bill Hilts Jr., outdoor sports specialist at NTCC.
