rouge river

[fishermccann]

Was down at the mouth of the Rouge River on Sun. saw three fisherpersons . Did not see them hook up , what were they fishing for as they were pointed (fishing) out to the lake ,off shore and not along the river?

could be trout, maybe pike?

If they were working long rods, prolly rainbows.

there are a lot of Steelhead (Rainbow trout) staged just outside the rivermouths right now, when the temperature is right and we get some rain, they will start moving up the river.

That must of been it as they were using fly rods out into the lake . Thanks for the help maybe I will give it a go after the next rain.

The second most polluted river in Ontario has a good run of Steelhead....further up into the Markham area it has a lot of browns

Is the section near Markham open right now? near the Mine dam?

nope, milne dam isn't open.....but last summer i usually have my lunch in the parking lot off of Princess st x markham rd....just south of 7 and i'd watch people come and go w/ fly rods...they'd usually stop and share the pics on their cameras....
