Im on the lower grand, so there isnt any active trout. I was just practising for whatever bites

Yeah i was on the grand but i think it was the chubs like timmeh said because they weren't very large, although i have no idea how big mooneye get

that could have been what it was, because they were surely not big

Went out on the river tonight after 2 weeks of practising casting in the backyard. Thought I was doing well for until a fish hit , and another , and another and ended up having my fly taken under atleast 7 times. didnt get one fish on. so my question is, when a fish takes the fly under what do i do ? Set the hook ? new to this so any tips would be great help

My uncle hooked into a 10 pound ling with a floating rapala, already dissapointed when he brought it up because he thought it was a monster largie , as he grabs the fish it flips and in goes a new barbed treble hook into his hand which made for a long 3 hour wait at the hospital

Really? I had no idea that that creek had any fish in it! You say any flowing water in haldimand, is that excluding the Grand between york and erie ?

small fish are better then no fish ! still trying to catch my first on a fly setup!

Hello everyone. I have been in search for a way to catch any type of trout in the Haldimand area. Kinda wanting to use the fly rod on some as I am new to fly fishing. So I am not looking for any specific hotspots or honey holes, But I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for some trout in the Haldimand area? Thanks

If the fly catches fish there can't be anything wrong with it

okay, been hearing a lot about brown and rainbow trout in the grand river , and after seeing all the posts about the trout opener, I've been wondering if you can catch them in and around the York area? Never caught a trout before btw..

Got one of the only sites available for what we needed , turns out its right on the water so it should be good!

Thanks for the info!

Going to algonquin park this summer in july, ( staying in rock lake ) and was wondering what techniques to use to fish for trout in a canoe ?

HOGS!

Hello OFC, heading out to Rockpoint Provincial Park on Lake Erie this weekend, and was wondering if anyones tried fishing there? I'd rather fish from the shore, unless it's a calm day and I can head around the shore in a canoe. Thanks.

Hey guys , lately I've been catching mooneye alot in the Grand River , and i was talking to my neighboor about it and he was so shocked that i was catching them there, he also said people come from all over North America to catch mooneye in the river , and they're quite the tasty fish. Is this true ? any suggestions on how to cook em ?

Thanks , I know one of the advantages that outfished me when i was with someone with a baitcaster was using the thumb ( as stated above ) to gradually let line out when going down a dropoff.

hey, snorkling is fun to do when looking for fish! haha , but yeah listen to what these guys have said, very good suggestions

get a snorkal mask, snorkel, and fins and go for a little swim.. Its the best fish finder. LOL

Haha okay thanks , I'll go have a look!

Getting a free baitcaster this week So I wanted to hear the experts opinions on advantages and disadvantages , Thanks

Maybe ill go somewhere else , suckers and carp i dont enjoy fishing very often haha

I think boaterexam.com, but I'm not sure. I took mine at a recreation center

yes , any motor powered boat operator needs one. You can take the course online or go to a local recreation center which is usually cheaper. Hope this helps.

Thinking about going for a bike ridr to the caledonia dam to do some fishing from shore tommorow. What fish should i expect to catch? Is it an easy spot to fish from shore? Thanks
