ball9320 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I Know its a bit premature but these mild days have me wondering if there is any good spots east of GTA right now where the ice is broken up pretty good. If anyone's been out in the last few week lemmie know what its like, I can't wait much longer, Im petty close to lower grand too so if anyone's been over there that would be great too!

kemper Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Theres rivers...and theres trout! Gotta do your own footwork though, especially at this time of the season no one is going to give up their hotspots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ball9320 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah I figured that, I have about 4 or 5 spots im thinking of checking, Im just at school like 2 hours away and wondering how thick the ice is in general over there in pools and such with the few days of mild weather we got (I realize faster runs will be clear) if i decide to make the trip.

kemper Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I will say that the rivers have been clear of ice for the most part. They will get some skim at night but the high salt content from the road runoff seems to be even keeping that at bay. I was fishing in - 8 last weekend with NO freeze up on the line/float. Can you say rock salt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAGKING Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Water will probably be really murky with the rain, I'll wait a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakey420 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 the grand below the damn is flowing good above is still frozen. Been twice this week theres trout and picks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steel'n'esox Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Fished an east trib today, water vis was 3 to 6 inches due to street and storm drain runoff, about a dozen fish caught, from 7 to 11am more rains will total that river, but smaller creeks should stay somewhat fishable. With cold temps over the weekend slush buildup and line icing will be a problem, flows have increased, water temp was 34 degrees f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
