danbouck Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm wondering if there are any gear restrictions on the Credit River for when the salmon are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Restrictions? there sure are Dan! DO NOT use one of these rods With one of these reels mounted on it And one of these tied on the end While these types of rigs are commonly used on the Credit river by what I like to call, "drooling, knuckle dragging bank mutants", they tend to be frowned upon so steer clear! (sorry Dan, couldn't resist ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatherof3 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 The general fishing regulations written below are for the Credit River, however YOU should always check the "Summary of Sport Fishing Regulations" before fishing anywhere in Ontario. General regulations: Pacific salmon are open all year Atlantic salmon are closed all year (upstream of the QEW bridge) Steelhead (rainbow trout) are open from the last Saturday in April to September 30th. Bass are open from the last Saturday in June to November 30th. All other trout are open from the last Saturday in April to September 30th. Exceptions to the general regulations: Below QEW bridge (river mouth) All trout and salmon species are open all year. Atlantic salmon are open from January 1st to November 10th.

carp-starter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 One more restricted item but unfortunately frequently used on many streams by the so-called honourable anglers. I wish I could use one of these on the so-called honourable anglers. carp-starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
