In addition to good fishing, all participants were treated to free lunch, beverages, fishing poles and bait.

Connection with Cohoes of Yesteryear

Take a glimpse of yesteryear through the Over the Falls Video as well as a collection of Cohoes-related photos and drawings from the early- to mid-1900's. Cohoes native Mike Pender -- the owner of this compilation -- has graciously agreed to share these images with the Friends of Cohoes Falls.
