Welcome to the board... guess that boats usually just flying over the water eh...

gives everybody something to think about... Glad things turned out Okay

Well this is the link to the GRCA website that shows daily water flows... its amazing how low much of the water is and how much the flow has reduced... check out the link.. it shows normal flows and the flows right now... Its gonna hurt the fishery thats forsure, hopefully though too much damage doesn't occur and anglers dont fish for the coldwater species until the water returns to normal http://www.grandriver.ca/WaterData/images/image023.jpg Also from teh GRCA website Anglers asked not to fish for trout in Brant area streams The Ministry of Natural Resources is asking anglers to voluntarily refrain from fishing for trout in several streams in the Brantford and Burford area. Fish populations, particularly brook and brown trout, are under stress from this summer's low water levels and higher than normal water temperatures. Species such as brook and brown trout need cold, clear water to survive. Anglers are asked to voluntarily stop fishing on Whiteman Creek west of Brantford, Mount Pleasant Creek south of the city, and upper MacKenzie Creek - upstream of the town of Oakland until conditions improve in these cold water streams. Water levels on these streams are at or near record low levels. The low water levels combined with elevated in-stream temperatures have put trout populations in some reaches or sections of the streams at risk. It is possible that the low flows and warm temperatures have already resulted in the loss of some fish and the situation could worsen if the hot and dry conditions continue. The ministry asking anglers to use other water bodies and to fish for species, such as large and smallmouth bass or carp, which are more tolerant of warmer water and reduced flows. I think this should be accepted by most of us in the vicinity for our local creeks... lets not fish for trout in these little creeks because chances are the fight will kill em...

Most of the cleos work out there and some of the Jointed raps in bright colours can be good too... I havent been out for a while though so far only seen 2 landed of the half dozen times i have been out... maybe we'll get some rain soon and theyll start moving... see yas out there and GL

sure thing... I could go for some conversation... see ya'll in there

are you looking for Info sites or forums?... PM me I have both but dont want to promote em on here without permission

WTG on the fishing and the report... great story along with the pics too.. Thanks for sharing

Looks like an awesome time out there and some really good looking pictures too.. Thanks for sharing

looks like you had yourself an enjoyable time out there TJ, couple nice keepers in those pics... thanks for sharing

West lake Willows has rentals and all that stuff... Scott should be able to give you some good advice.. I know we had lots of luck trolling HJ's and drifting harnesses in there... also depending on which way you go you should stop by Carra outdoors in Belleville... Talk to them in there and they'll set you up... Good luck!

WOW thats one great looking trip you had there and an awesome report as well

WTG man... waiting for the BC fishing pics though lol

Nice report... I enjoy fishing some of the same spots you mentioned and have pulled a couple nice ones out of the dam

Looks like a great time up there... thanks for sharing the experience

Well I decided to head out onto bronte today to give carp another try...changed my setup a little from the day before and it seemed to help as I ended up with my first carp today I got him after about an hour as I was just sitting on the bank relaxing...This guy was 29" after this it was really slow for a couple hours so I decided to fool around with the new camera and took these shots after this i moved a little bit and 20 mins after chumming the area and moving I hooked this guy...who was a little bigger at 32" and the same one Overall a fun day the only downside was touching the nasty buggers Hope you all enjoyed the quick report...

Yup canada is one of several countries sending over firefighting equipment... fortunate that canadians are willing to help out around the world... full villages are being burned down out there and I have loads of family in villages around greece... I have seen them use some helicopters with boxes or something underneath to carry water... it really is amazing, hopefully its not too much longer till its out of control... Anyone else hear about it being a possible arson? I couldn't really understand that...

dont plan on getting salmon with my 3wt or 4 wt lol... especially off the pierand getting a big guy on a float tube would be a nice ride eh lol

I got my fly fishing side under control lol.. dont really wanna fish for em in the rivers as that is steelie time more often than not...

Well considering there are a bunch of you out surfing the board and being as bored as I am come on into the chat and relieve the boringness of the night

Just wondering what you guys like to use for salmon, particularily off of the piers and in the rivers... for me as of now it has been pure spoons (mostly cleos) at the pier and all roe in the rivers what do you guys think? i know I am going to be using some of those Jointed raps in bright colours as well off the piers but have seen people using roe out there too... Anyone ever have any luck doiong this?

Nice... thats an awesome fish man WTG, thanks for sharing the pics

I know some of ya'll must be up and kicking... I will be in there so drop a word or two...

Thats exactly my view MTP "everything in moderation"

I wont be down tonight but I will be there sometime in the morning... Good luck

Nice smallie by any standards, and those river fish are pure muscle too... thanks for the pics
