If the fish are there you fish them. I've caught plenty of steelhead that were full of eggs still...not sure why anyone would say they won't hit if they haven't spawned yet. Best time to fish a river is after a rain. That triggers them to run upstream. Its a game of timing though...too fast and muddy and its tough...catch it when levels are on the decline and there is visibility in the water then you are golden.

basically if the rivers become low and very clear and you can see them stacked in pools the chances are they wont, because they can see u and the chances are they have seen everything thrown at them, after a good rain when the water starts to clear is a better bet, or even try later at night in clear water when its quitier u mite get a few to strike.

anyone have a link for the fights? figure i might as well get a couple lined up for tomorow night so im not in a mad rush. I pick bader , leben, cruz

condit,bader,50/50between leben and silva, i think cruz will win but i wont faber to get it back, eathier way its a good card to watch.

I use the 5" leeches, bass love 'em: worth it!

the emerald shinners, black shad, shaky shad and smelts are excellent producers, caught pretty much everything on them, great for steelheading most days aswell, u can fish them anywhich way u want, personally it's all about your presentation.

I'm pretty sure it's been worded the 4th saturday for a few years now hopefully most of the once or twice a year opener fisherman will miss this and wait till the next saturday

lets hope so, i doubt it though, it should be good this year, being their coming up later, and it hasn't been warm enough yet

very nice pictures joey, it was a great event, nice to meet a bunch of ofners in person, congrats on the laker, good laughs with everyone aswell, look forward to the event next year

chase steelies in open water and fish the niagara, ice fish quinte and deep water on simcoe for whities and lakers

sometimes fluro makes a huge difference, niagara i usually use anywhere from 6 to 10lb fluoro depending on clarity, whirlpool in the spring i use 5 to 8lb, small tribs 3 to 6lb, medium to large rivers 5.6lb to 8lb, in darker water u can get away with 6lb green maxima for a leader.

sweet work bud, nicely done, u forgot about the trolling spoons and, marshmellows and trebs to call it bronte lol, ya we call them flots now, bobbers are piece of crappy plastic with springs and hooks

Hey Court R,

 

I have not had any luck at the dam area but have had really good luck and consistency up stream towards Brantford.

 

Been out 4 or 5 times in that area and likely averaging two fish an outting. Rapalas, husky jerks and spoons.

 

Chad

hey chad i lost my cell phone 2 weeks after talking to you, send me a pm i'll give you my home num bud

$40 for the pair.

 

I'm back to $35.00, going, going........

dont forget about the grocery stores finest large marshallow bags

I wanna head out fishing then join in on the fun afterwards.I know where it is,just dont know the date.June 11 or so?

Thanks in advance

remember chase the girls not the guys, i know u get confused sometimes ha ha lol jsk bud talk to u soon

i agree it was a really good opener this year, landed 25 or more steelies this opener including small ones and a couple bonus browns

brought them on the trout opener last year, and lets just say they were excellent, exspecially when three crazy guys eat them and later the sound of music begins for awhile

IN THE TOILET LOL

srry about the harsh word, we spent too much money for nothing and a ridiculous service, and yes i agree there are amazing hut operators out on nippissing, been to a few and always book another trip with them

cheers

probably one of the worst hut operators i have ever delt with, a few years ago one of my buddies decided to book a weeekend with them so i said sure why not and never again, huts are a piece of crap, the beds broke, the night fish alarm was a santuary bell, plus they were located in the traffic zone a well and the people that run it are retarted and useless.

IF THOSE TEMPS HAPPEN I'LL BE BREAKING OUT THE FLOAT ROD AND HEADING TO THE GLEN, AND BY BY ICE GEAR

looking forward to meeting u in a few weeks on quinte with vinnimon, nice fish

i was thinking the same aswell tom should be good thanks guys

not really that safe yet, a buddy of mine talked to one of the bait shops up there and they said hopefully a week or two

cheers

hammered christmas eve and woke with a nasty hangover and lots of steelhead gear

gotta lov it

anyone tell me if bronte is mostly iced over from num 5 to rebbecca if so i will be heading to the gorge instead mon mourn

any info is greatly appreciated thanks

happy and safe holidays everyone
