About Current & Scale
What Current & Scale covers on the Niagara River, how the upper and lower river field articles are written from public sources and who they serve.
Current & Scale is an independent reference for the Niagara River corridor between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It brings together fish identification, public safety guidance and separate New York and Ontario angling references.
What you find here
The site divides the subject into three practical sections.
- River Reaches and Habitats uses published fish-habitat notes and Niagara Parks trail and water-safety instructions.
- Fish Species and Seasons covers identification, habitat, tackle and timing only where the named Ontario pages publish those details.
- Angling Rules and Trip Planning keeps New York and Ontario sources separate and points readers to the applicable licence, zone and water rules.
How the articles are written
Each editorial page names the public document used for its facts. Current & Scale does not speak for a government office, conservation body or charter operator. Regulations and site conditions can change, so the linked official or regulatory page remains the place to confirm the current wording before a trip.
Who this guide is for
The guide is for anglers, naturalists and families who want a sourced starting point. It does not replace posted signs, official maps, licences, regulations or local safety instructions. Where Niagara Parks directs visitors to stay on marked trails and away from the river, this site repeats that instruction without adding informal access advice.
