I watched two guys get a limit each of King Salmon down in the Niagara Gorge Devil's Hole area one season. They both said they were going to hike back up with all those fish. I just shook my head and said good luck boys !...lol  
 
I swear it's hundreds of stone steps back up to the top. Hard enough with just boots and gear after fishing all day. About an hour later a guy comes down to fish and I asked him if those guys made it up carrying fish. He started laughing, they are only about half way up , their both about half dead, deep breathing and swearing the whole time NEVER AGAIN ! ...lol

Back about '05 or so, my oldest and me were on the wall at Walnut, upstream of the marina entrance by the sewer pipe. It was a late October day and there's anglers every 6-8 feet apart. I hooked one, called fish on, then fish off as I momentarily lost it, but then it was on again and I was hangin' on. It was a new 7 1/2 foot rod, and I use 6 and 8 lb. test as I go toe to toe when in the crowds, and the rod is creakin' in the reel seat. I knew it was a good one. I got it in and another guy grabs our net and brings it up, whereupon I see that my #10 hook is stuck in the body right behind the gill plate. I took my plier and pulled the hook and told the guy to lower it back in, and he starts to argue with me. "That fish is 15 lbs"! he cried. I said it might go 13 (it was a really good one), but it's foul hooked, "put it back". "What! Are you crazy? There's no wardens here". Now, I happen to be a rather large man @ 6'4", 325, and I started toward him and took my net, which he finally gave up, but he was glarin' at me the whole time. I put the fish back and he said he would never have given it up. I said "it's just a fish, I'll catch another one". I think I only fished the wall a few more times after that. Some people!!

WOW!!!! I thought I was bigger than average when back in the day I was 6' 4" around 220-210. Shrunk now that I entered geezeerville.

You never know what you'll see at good ol' Walnut. They should start filming up there and release a fishing special at the end of the steelhead season.

You can get high off of garlic power bait on a hot September day

 We park at the whirlpool state park and I carry 200' of para cord in my backpack for just that, if we get into them one goes on up and climbs over the handrail back towards the whirlpool park where it's a sheer drop near the foot trail below and the other waits below to tie the kings on the cord, one at a time no hero stuff . Works great no swearing needed. Liked the dog story also Capn
