Thanks guys...new to the river fishing and still getting to know my fish!. Better change my Topic Header!
-
Planned on catching some river rainbows today. Typically I park at a dam and hike in a
bit to a few good holes I've discovered. As I crossed the dam on foot to begin the hike I
noticed the water below the dam being parted as if a motor boat was chugging along.
Heck no...that's a fish causing that wake. Ran down the embankment and caught this
fella on the first cast with a 6ft bait casting rod. Great fight, took a good 10 minutes.
I'm on cloud 9 right now!
It was a catch and release but I'm curious if this is still an edible steelhead??

After a morning of chasing Brookies and nearly being stuck for good up to my waist in mud. I made
my way to the Lake where the river flows. A lake where there are no fish to catch! Chucked my new
fav #2 silver mepps and landed a good dozen perchies before I nailed this sucker! Yes a couple days
early, but whats a fisherman to do. : ) My PB Largemouth, so I needed a pic!
I practice catch and release as it is. Hopefully you do as well.

So are Brooks and Speckles the same fish? Being new to the Trouts I just don't know.
If not, the left one is a spec and the right one is a Brook?
No matter, they're beautiful little buggers.
Hey Rod, I think I've fished that spot! Hope u had bug spray on!!!
-
Just go rediscover the lake for yourself. Your not fishing unless your rod is in the water!
-
tis the season, nice fish!
-
Just though I'd pass along some recent results. Really enjoy hiking the river, searching for
deep pools where the specs are hiding...Haven't fallen in yet but came close a few times!
The first pic is now my facebook pic!! Huge catch worth brag'in about!
Looking forward to tomorrow~! But it hasn't rained in well over a week.
I think browns are atop my wish list thanks to Bills last post!
-
Great to see, gorgeous fish!...some motivation for tomorrow!!
Can u pass along weather the river flows to Simcoe or G-bay? : )

I feel like I'm cheating when using regular worms. I'm definitely cheating when the worms glow in the dark!
Whatever they're feeding them to turn florescent Green must not be good for them?
Maybe I should call P3TA or Pamela Anderson? : )

Caught my first spec on a creek last week and had a tough time with it.
Can't imagine pulling in a brown on a river after the rain. All envy over here!
-
One with an electric motor sounds pretty fun! Never imagined that, thanks!
-
I want to get a personal fishing pontoon.
Any reason's why u enjoy either the Banana or the Doh-nut?
Foot flippers trump the oars?
mark!

Lots of great info here,
I certainly don`t want to cross private property (unless it`s owned by a corporation planning to build a golf course! : )
...Visiting an MNR office is on the agenda!
thank-you fishing elders!

After reading so many nice river fishing stories on here, I'm itching to get out on one.
As for access I've been told to just park near a bridge and walk it in. Anywhere and Everywhere.
Do Property lines end at the river banks then? River water is all public then?
I'm hoping not to get a shot-gun pulled on me by a land owner! Though it would add to the adventure
and get some good photos on hear! : )
Cheers,
mark!
PS- I searched the forum first with no success.

Thanks Leechman! It was a great rush bringing in the first!

newbie here...just found the web-site today and really enjoy the friendly interaction/commentary.
Love the "Tomatoes" Crop Discovery Story/thread...I'll get to my profile pic another day.
As a life long Georgian Bay Fisherman who loves chasing Pike, Bass and Walleye with a lure I have
no idea how to fish for trout. Just moved to Collingwood with the girlfriend and bought a 13' rod, so
that's a good start! Been trying the mouths of rivers with a weight/swivel and worm full of air...no luck.
canadian Tire Eggs...No Luck. Spent last nights dusk fishing Collingwood Harbor thinking the big brow
logs swimming past were Trout. No no no...Found out today their Carp. At least it was a pretty sunset.
I'm going crazy...Maybe river fishing with a fly rod is the challenge I seek...? Might try the river running
through Creemore tomorrow, west of the town before Glen Huron's dam.
Reading u guys with your river caught Trout...so jealous.
I don't know if I'm asking for help or just bragging my woes. But if you have any tips, my profile
pic with a trout involved is that much closer.
Casting close to dams and....

So last night I tried my luck at the Thornbury Dam given the time of year. Made my way to be the
closest fisherman to the dam. Great Spot! There was a Guy on the other side of the river casting
towards the dam underneath the "this area is closed to fishing" wire and within 10 minutes he had
pulled 2 female rainbows and called it a day. Taking them home of course.
Well the same guy shows up today and he yells to me I'm casting to far under the wire and I'd get
In trouble. 15ft is Ok but anything further is worthy of me losing my gear and vehicle. Wowzas!
If that's the case then the signage should be much more explanatory. Something like, "No fishing
this area or casting under this wire" would be a better sign to let one know. Even a lousy lawyer
could get you off "the hook" with vague signage like this.
I yelled back that he was a Hypocrite for doing the same thing the night before, which bothered him.
I'm sure a lot of eyes are rolling at me, but u don't get your fishing license the same way you get
your driver's license. The MNR should either provide more detailed signage to what an infraction
could be or build something better than this overhanging wire that people can cast under.
Looking forward to be told I'm wrong!
