From the Toronto Star:
Most people don’t know it, but tucked within one of the world’s great tourist meccas is a fishing spot delivering wilderness majesty and year-around sport to any angler bold enough to venture there.
But, be warned, fishing the Whirlpool is not for the faint of heart. Quite literally – anyone with cardiac problems should stay away.
Considered one of the top 12 attractions of Niagara Falls, most visitors see the Whirlpool rapids comfortably from above, looking down from the safety of the escarpment or from the cable car that has been traversing this chasm since 1916.
But there is a different view to be had; one from the water’s edge, with a fishing rod in hand and the current lapping at your boots.
