Welcome to the Greater Niagara Fishing & Outdoor Expo
This "pure" fishing show is designed by fishermen for fishermen with the simple goals of promoting and teaching fishing. Now in its 8th year, it has become a "can't miss" annual event for thousands of anglers every year with over 70 percent of them being prior show attendees and attending for multiple days of the Show. With over 170 booths, containing many well-known names and leading companies of "sportfishing" related products, this is the largest freshwater fishing show in NYS and among the largest fishing shows anywhere in the Great Lakes. From walleye and bass to salmon and trout; from perch to piers, stream casters to trolling nuts; from fly fishing to youth fishing; from marine electronics to boat rigging; from fishing boats to kayak fishing - there is a little bit if everything for every type of angler and level of expertise.
"Teaching Fishing" is what this show was built around and what makes it unique. The show facility - the Conference and Event Center Niagara Falls - provides a spacious Exhibitor Event Center as well as a multitude of seminar rooms all utilizing "State of the Art" technology. The show has the capacity to educate over 1,200 people concurrently across 20 different education areas in the building, including the Hawg Trough - each targeting different topics / levels of expertise. The 2020 show offered attendees the opportunity to learn from over 200 free classes over the 4 days of the Show with the average attendee taking advantage of the opportunity to increase their fishing knowledge by attending over 7 classes during the show. The core belief of the show is that it is making a difference toward the effort to grow the sport of fishing by providing a vast amount of fishing education. By providing this education, this show will recruit new anglers including the next generation to the sport as well as providing existing anglers the fishing knowledge to increase their enjoyment of the time they spend on the water by being more successful.
The Show is centrally located within one of the most diverse and spectacular freshwater sport fisheries on the planet. The Niagara River, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie are all within casting distance for salmon, trout, bass, walleye, perch, muskellunge and so much more.
