Fish will be off the deeper weed edges. You'll also wanna upsize your presentation. Fish are trying to fatten up for the winter, they won't waste the energy to chase a 3inch stickbait
While you upsize your bait, you'll also wanna slow it down a tad (Depending on the water temp)
I think you are correct.. It's been way to long.
Let's just make sure we don't decimate any rivers or streams. Cause ya know, you are well know for that.
Kid, this is Canada... That boy needs to be on the ice
I played hockey in the winter and ball in the summer all the way up until I was 19... Some of the best times for sure!
I don't think anyone is going to give you exact spots on the Notty to fish. My only suggestion would be to head down to McDonalds in Wasaga Beach and go from there.
SNAG, good call on pinching the barbs. Anytime I am fishing smaller streams for trout, the barbs are always pinched, regardless if the regs call for it or not.
Really reduces the damage to the fish.
There is a place I go to watch the steelies later in the season try to make it up a certain river..
I could sit there for hours watching them..
Great pics!
Not needed at all.. Now if you are fishing gin clear water, you'll most likely have more hookups if you are running a flouro leader, but I know guys that never use it regardless of water clarity..
They make out ok
