Thanks alot guys for the help an torco I understand I didn't mean to be rude I just don't like feeling like a bad parent or a careless parent I know exactly what you mean though about people being to careless with the children in places that they shouldn't be. Rock Point was a good lesson for me when I was a young teen I seen 2 people lose there life in one summer god bless them but there parents were letting them go swiming and we had put a chain saying Undertoe Cautions on the stairs it's very unfortunate but it was enough to really make me realize I seen more as I got older to and growing up on the water taught me alot. No hard feelings I didn't mean to be rude just want you folks to know I am more anal retentive when it comes to my childs safety. Chris

Thanks alot ADB I appreciate your help that was the most help I have gotten so far it will help me alot hopefully I will get something and I can post a report. Again I do understand where everyone else was coming from but I assure you first thing before catching a fish is my daughters safety. I hope to get out tomorrow and do some fishing for trout it is supposed to be a really nice day so the daughter can enjoy the weather as she's been stuck inside all week with me due to the weather. Again thanks everyone. I don't mean to sound rude but I don't like writing a hunder times about my daughters safety I truely do know safety first when being around water. If anyone knows Rock Point I used to work there when I was in school and that is where I seen alot of lifes takin just due to not respecting the powers of mother nature. I know it looks fun sometime but when there are signs all around thats a good idea to respect them.

Yea it is Mew Lake that has the really nice sunset, Pog Lake has a nice one but I always found Mew to have a nicer one. From the beach at Pog the trees cover most of the sunset. If you a take a hike though from Pog over the bridge and then to the left at the dead end you can get a very nice veiw of the sunset as well and often see moose and other wildlife I remember as a kid seeing a bear down there once. But I love taking a drive around that time as well to try and see the wildlife on highway 60. If you see nothing still a beautiful drive. As crossover said Rock Lake is also very nice mind you anywhere there is just beautiful it's just personal prefrence I guess. Hope you enjoy your trip and weather is good.

Thanks ctranter I do see where you are coming from with the crying and being loud. I am one of them as well I don't like it when she is being loud and usually when she does get like that we leave because I do want to respect the other fisherman around there. I know I wouldn't want to listen to other children cry. I had her down at Grimsby Pier when I was fishing the creek and there were a few others fishing and when got like that we left right away because from what I have read in my studies to learn more about trout is that they are very sensitive to sounds. I know I don't like listening to my own child crying when I'm fishing kinda takes the relaxing out of the day lol. I have taken her down to 50 point where they have the stocked pond there. But for myself I would rather try my luck in a creek where I can catch fish a little bigger I got a few down there with the float fishing and as it was still great to be fishing it wasn't the same for me to be catching them where they aren't stocked and at ease of catching. But thanks I do agree with you a %100 nobody wants to fish with a kid crying. As for the safety it is no doubt the most important thing I don't play around when it comes to water. Chris

Well I got the pair of chest waders from Canadian Tire that were on sale from the last weeks sale and after seeing that Kickingfrog and fishinguypat said this week has some I looked today and see that they have a pair of Insulated neoprene chest waders on sale as well so back to Canadian Tire I go to get them as well thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. Chris

She always has her PDF on when shes near any sort of water. She has been going to the lake since she was born and same with me I grew up on the lake, I take every caution when going out or near the water I have seen in my 25 years more peoples lifes takin just on Lake Erie alone and not just from being out on the water but from shore beleive me I have more respect for mother nature then alot I won't say anyone but I'm not an idiot I take her to the beach and she doesn't bother going near the water so her being near a creek will be the same thing the reason I didn't want to take her to Queenston was there is a wall there that may give her some reason to see what is on the other side. I see where you are coming from but I would never let anything happen to my daughter and I mean nothing accidents do happen but if I am with my daughter they won't I will not let anything happen that I can prevent. Again I see where you guys are coming from but I have alot of experience on the water and I don't take any dumb chances.

I agree looks like it would be fun, when he was swinging that sword all I could think was he's going to slice his leg off or when he falls that knife is going to come back at him.

Thanks ChrisK and I do understand where you are coming from. I didn't really explain myself to well and torco read the other post before commenting I cleary stated that she will be watched very good regardless where she is and yes she will have a life jacket on I am not a moron I grew up on a lake and she is at that house all the time she knows better to go near water but when ever she is out side she has her PDF on.

I am not going to be alone with her my wife will be there to keep her away from the water but with the Niagara it's a bit different the wall has no railing or anything, I am not one of those parents that lets there kid just run around like wild animal, I care for my daughter more then anything. I do appreciate the thoughts and I just don't want you folks to think I'm careless I just enjoy having the family beside me I know at a creek I can keep her away and she won't be able or want to really go near unstable ground as she can't walk the best but on a pier I am sure she would try and get as close to look over. I do understnad where you are coming from and again I wouldn't be bringing her alone with just me but even with my wife there I would feel more comfortable where she can't get that close to the water.

Ok thanks. I am just looking for something that will keep me warm and alst a bit. I have always been a bass and walleye fisherman plus perch and crappie but now I am dying to get out more and I want to get into trout fishing as I can go to the Niagara River in the winter I ice fished for a long time and then this winter I had enough after I have my hut and all my tavkle stolen from the ice down at Peir 4 in hamilton we walked around the corner to try off the point came back and it was gone. That was enough for me to just say screw it I will go and rent a hut up on Simcoe still the odd time but no buying huts any more I got it brand new at BPS for a pretty penny and gone after not even a month and a half thank god they didn't get my flaher as it was with me but everything else other then the chairs were gone. Sorry to ramble on lol.

No I know I was just being a smart at first and thought I would make it known that I was just joking lol. I would rather have a back up pair like you were saying any ways then I won't be in the predicament I am now lol. I am definitly going to keep my eyes open for a pair of Neoprene ones I have read alot of reviews on the bass pro shop but I don't know if the people just say thing for the sake of complaining or what do you have any brands that you have had luck with or I should stick to. I've seen mixed reveiws about White River and RedHead any thoughts.

I use the Fireline Tracer braid for my finesse rod and I really think it's great I have had alot of luck with it. But I also use 6 lbs Flouro on that rod as well depends where I'm fishing and the conditions. I have never tried the Suffix but I have heard good things about it maybe I will give it a shot on my crankbait rod. I did have one problem with Fireline though I had two spools fray the first time I used them and after the second one I wrote to Berkley and within 2 weeks they had to spools sent to my door I thought they were only going to send one and to my surprise I got to. I'm not big into complaining but I don't like throwing 25 buck a spool away like that.

Yea exactly most likely I won't return them I will just wait until I find a good price on Neoprene ones and let my dad have these ones. Seeing as he doesn't have a pair anymore lol.

My wife said the same that they don't have half sizes so I just went with the 9 and that's good to hear I may have to exchange them for another pair lol.

Thanks GBW my wife was just calling to see what size and I just read this I am the same size a 10 for shoes so I went with a nine good thing you posted that or I would have some huge boots to fill.

Lol thanks. I have a pair up at my parents of the rubber one and I let my dad use them to put the stairs in and out and the water line and I know what you mean they are rough in cold water, But they are garbage now as my dad tore a hole in the crouch last year and I found out the hard way it was like skeeters thermometer lol. Not a pleasent thing I tell you jump in off of the break wall and walk out a bit and find out theres a nice hole. We all had a good laugh around the fire with some cold ones after.

Thanks I just called my wife to stop and get them on the way home since she has the van. And skeeter thanks I'm to give it a shot never hurts to call and see thanks everyone, I appreciate the help. Chris

I see Canadian Tire has a pair of chest waders on for 35 bucks so for now I will just get them and dress warm underneath lol. I didn't see any on sale at Lebarons and I want to make sure I'm getting a good pair if they are neoprene.

Thanks and I am the one fishing I just bring my daughter with me and she is only a year old and likes to run wild sometime that is why I don't want to take her Queenston or something like that because I don't want to take a chance at her falling in. And as for the tackle I have floats and all my leaders made for them thanks to the help of the guys at Grimsby Tackle, I take back what I said about Adrian when I was there last time he was great and helped me greatly. I was just wondering about the weather if it will effect the bite tomorrow morning. I am going to try some creeks and for myself I would rather catch a trout from a creek rather then a stocked pond. Thanks Chris.

Awesome thanks guys I am going to check both out right now. Chris.

One more quick question do you guys think that this weather will effect the trout fishing tomorrow. I would like to get out and as I said before I don't know anything about trout fishing really. Any help would be great. Thanks. Chris.

Darn that would have been perfect. I will do that and if anyone else knows any store I'm still open for ideas. Thanks Rod Caster. Chris.

Hi everyone I am looking for a place to get a good pair of chest waders for a decent price I have looked around and the only place I have really been able to find them is on BPS and I'd rather find another store if I can before going there. I want to get Neoprene ones so if anyone has any thoughts it would be great. Thanks. Chris.

Awesome Report, great pictures as well it's fish like that which is making me want to learn more and more about trout fishing.

lol that's a good one skeeter.
