So I was fishing the nith in late august or early September in the Waterloo area and hooked into something big. When I finally landed it I was surprised that it was walleye and not just a walleye but the biggest I have ever seen. I got a measurement and it went 32” this is by far the biggest walleye I have ever caught. I caught it in 5-6 feet of water on a narrow stretch of the nith river. I have pictures but I’m reluctant to post them since I will admit the handling was not the best, but the fish was released safely. Has anyone had similar experiences or was this just a fluke? 

Huh I just looked I did not realize the grand was different so I can’t fish for pike either?

Even just to catch? I would never keep a bass. I can’t remember the last time I kept a fish. Well I guess it’s a good thing I did not catch any. Thanks for the heads up I will look into that.

Thanks everyone! Just to be clear it is ok to use live bait that is from the same water body? 

Thanks! I will give it a try!

Hello! So for the last 4 days I have been going down to the nith river. I mainly target pike and bass but I have not caught any only some small panfish and some large suckers. I am casting spoons and using jigs. What am I doing wrong? is it the lures? I also want to try fishing for pike using dead bait how should I go about doing that? Also I have seen several perch which was a surprise I did not know they were in the nith.

Thanks in advance!
