  1. Salmon and trout love pink as well.
  2. Came back while ago, water was still fairly high. Hooked into one rainbow in couple of hours i stayed and it broke off. I was surprised by lack of fish swimming around. Saw one half dead salmon and couple of other dead ones and that was it
  3. Great report man, i got into a couple just last weekend. They looked pretty good for this time of the year. Nice looking fish none the less
  4. Well guys when you see a lot of cops standing by the river it cant be a good thing. Turned around and walk the other way is probably the smartest thing to do. Imagine getting snagged and pulling a decomposed finger or a toe from a deep pool ahah....scary
  5. Way to go Bernie, I dont understand how hard it is to quit since i am not a smoker but i have seen people going through withdrawals and its not pretty. I am sure you`ll make it!
  6. Good luck tomorrow Bill, hope you catch a big one. Hopefully water wont be too bad.
  7. Ty for the kind words Bernie. Big trout has eluded me last year, trying to change that this year. Maybe I`ll get lucky and catch a musky instead seeing how we need one for the tourney
  8. Hey guys. I am heading up north to Owen Sound tomorrow morning in the search of my first rainbow. I heard good things about it on the weekend, even tho i fished in Owen sound before it was for salmon and never for trout. Question is if anyone knows if the river is blown. Talked to the guy in a fishing store and he said the river might be high but he was not sure. Thanks for any info
  9. Its that Alaskan roe,its gotta be Great pics, very nice shots
  10. This year I`ve had luck using rainbow roe, green and red mepps size 1. Chucking cleos from piers seems to work for everyone but me.
  11. you should be allowed to fish but just i dont think you can keep any muskies.
  12. 1 knot is 1.85 kmh
  13. I heard from some guys today that Owen sound was hot yesterday and meaford as well. He mentioned one more place that's up there but forgot the name.

    Hey bud welcome aboard! ITs a great place to learn about fishing and living in Toronto you are in the area that gets some prime steelhead runs. Most tribs that get salmon will get some bows as well, all you have to do is find them. Good luck!
  15. Been out a lot this year and sometimes you dont have a lot to show for, fish here and fish there. Last two months have been like that so I decided to put all the little reports together and make a one half decent one. First report is from Elmira, I spent some time fishing carp. They seem to get smaller and smaller every year even tho not many people fish this place. HEre are couple of shots of baby carp caught on corn. Catfish usually wont leave my corn alone and it frustrates me a lot. Fishing there used to be much better and i am having hard time finding bigger carp that i am sure are lurking around. It is what it is for now. Next place that i spent some time is St Marys. LOve fishing there and chase carp and bass in shallow water on light tackle. The best part is you get to see fish hit your bait, adrenaline rushes through you as you set the hook and the fight is on. Couple of bass i got there They are not very big but are very scrapy and will put up a decent fight for their size. Next up is salmon fishing. Visited Credit once and Bronte couple of times. Started fishing Bronte mid-september and was skunked first few times I`ve gone so decided to give Credit a try. First salmon of the year and the release shot This fish ended up being the only one I caught that day, all in all waded for good couple of km to find some holes to fish where there werent that many people. It can be a crazy place to fish thats for sure. Next up was Bronte. Waited for good rain and went two days later and the run was on. It was incredible to watch all these brutes making their way upstream. Not sure what i was impressed with more, their sizes or the willingness to swim in 4 inches of water for miles. Managed to get into 7 or 8 that day and only pulled 3 out, here is a pic of one of them and the picture of me fighting one I managed to catch a baby rainbow i think, prety little fish, too bad he wasnt bigger tho About a month ago, my latest trip to bronte, fishing was tough and the fish were scattered all over. It hadnt been raining in over a week and had to work very hard to catch a few. Waded over 5 km and my legs were sore for next few days but it was worth it. Managed to get some more. Day started early at 5 am, tried chucking spoons off the pier and had no luck, my buddy Trevor struggling in the dark haha Couple of hours later I had my first fish on , and me releasing it Managed to get couple of more in random pools These fish are still very strong fish and it required running downstream and chasing them down. I am suprised i didnt break my ankles running on those rocks but all in all great fun. Thats my salmon fishing for this year, might head out one more time. Went to Ottawa for Thanksgiving at my Gf`s family. I am thinking perfect time to try for some Ottawa smallies. Woke up at 7 am on saturday and headed out with big hopes as this place has produced big fish for me all summer. Got there and the water had dropped over a foot and was much much colder then in summer days. Stayed there for 2 hours and caught only two little fish, certainly dissapointing When i came back to my gfs home, my buddy bear was waiting for me Lovely dog follows me everywhere and sleeps in the same bed with me. He starts growling at my gf when she tries to sneak into my bed hahah Thats all for now I am still searching for my first rainbow but hopefully its going to come this year enjoy
  16. At least they decided to dump bunch of overpaid average at best players, and are moving in right direction. Now if they could only score lol Great joke by the way
  17. Thats awesome, just great!! Its sad how much junk there is on the river these days, beer cans everywhere, tim cups as well.
  18. Thats good to hear. I was fishing in the shallow and the water was very cold. Washed my hands in it and couldn't feel my fingers for good couple of minutes. That probably has to do a lot with them not fighting. They were also very dark and a lot slimier then they normally are. Up to 38 pounds, those are monsters. Most of the ones i catch are 2-6lb.
  19. How much luck are you guys having this late in the season?? Hooked into two at St Mary`s the other day and they did not put up any fight, almost felt like dragging a dead weight.
  20. Great haul man. If not for your reports, this year i would not have seen anyone catch a rainbow and its almost November. Great Going none the less! Hopefully your friend is well and best of luck to him.
  21. I cant believe its that slow all over. Fishing has been really weird this year.
  22. First fish is bullhead, its in a catfish family, very common.
  23. I`ve tried making carp bait and mixing up recipes but made no difference in size or quantity in fish caught. Just made a lot of mess and can be time consuming. 60 cent can of canned corn does wonders only problem with it is that small fish, like gobies and bullheads, like it as well and strip it fast.
  24. Have you tried worms?? Trout like worms plus perhaps you should have tried Mepps in smaller sizes ( 0 or 1 ) and try different colors and see if you`ll get a strike. Plus if the water was clear and there were couple of lines in the water i see fish getting spooked and not willing to hit anything.
  25. I was there about two weeks ago and fish were few and far between, not really sure how it is now.
