mpagnan Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello all, Just became a member today and I'm very excited to gather as much info as possible. A couple months ago I caught what I believed to be a trout but now I wonder if it's a youth salmon. Can anyone please help me determine it? Also, I find the regs. difficult to read sometimes. Are there some places where you can fish for trout year round? Thanks, Pags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2fan Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Welcome I agree with rainbow for the fish as for fishing year round for steel yes technically you can fish year round for them in any of the great lakes.... and for a certain distance up some tribs. The challenge is to find areas free of ice for the entire year. Last year we lost 5 weekends due to ice ups in the area I like to fish. The year before we lost 8... The best way to read the regs is to look at the exemptions, then once you think you know the regs double check with the MNR to make sure or you can try doing so in local fishing stores, but even they get it wrong sometimes LOL.

BillM Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nice little bow! Welcome to the board. If you find you are catching a lot of these little ones, help them out by pinching your barbs, does a lot less damage on the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 It is a little rainbow. It looks just like the little one i caught a while back. Nice fish and welcome to OFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 cute buggers, if nothing else is biting a single egg will catch them that size and up to 15 inches or so all day. better than sittin on the couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpagnan Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The interesting thing with this catch was how I was able to land it with all the Chubs and Shinners around. I mean I couldn't let anything hit the water without those buggers taking it. Now, is that a good sign in terms of a trout spot...after all they are bait fish? They were all located in a shirt run just before a nice deep pool. Thanks for the info on the regs. Canuck2fan. It's the tribs that I have a hard time figuring out because I'm not 100 % of some of the streets they list. I assume 16 mile creek is closed...correct?
