People do fish below the Falls, especially in the season when the lake salmon head upstream --and exciting sight in itself. HOWEVER, you should know that the waters at the fishing point carry a freight of lead and other substances left over from the effluvium from the Ithaca Gun factory, although factory has been closed for many years and there have been big clean-ups.
