Spiel Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 man i gotta get outt somewhere for some trouts. i have no idea where some small steams are in my area though. any help on fishing for these babies near the hamilton mountain would be appreciated. PM me if you like i practice C & R You can look here for a start. But the real work is in getting permission to fish as most of the area creeks are on private property. Atlas of Brown Trout Waters in Ontario One of these springs I'll have to return home and coax my old man into heading down to the creek to wet a line. Do it soon, I'm sure you'll be glad you did. Takes me back to my childhood of fishing little stream brookies with my dad. Well done Chris Good to see ya out and about Thanks Phil. Chris,that is a nice Brown trout bud,what did Norm catch. Steve In a word.....nothing! I love fishing the tough overgrown, and cluttered spots just enhances the sport of it all!Beautiful and very healthy looking brown for sure Its to bad the Spec's didn't show up, but that brown is great runner up Cheers There's still time and I'm toatally motivated!

wuchikubo Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Gorgeous Brown Spiel. I always feel the pictures never do the fish any justice as the colours are much more vibrant in real life. So that fish must have been awesome! Thanks for the post!! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Atta boy Chris!! That's a beauty trout fer sure. Have the brookies and browns always co-existed together in that stream? I'm sure you'll find em next time. Keep us posted! cheers HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassaholic Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 That's a beautiful fish. I love fishing small streams for browns too and can't imagine doing anything else on opening weekend. I was planning on getting out Sunday and Monday but with all this rain my stream is way to high and fast. I also have an ongoing feud of at least 4 years with a big brown in my stream. Hopefully I'll be able to out smart him this year and post a report on here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 There should be a disclaimer for the diabetics on the board...That brownie is super sweet The markings on that fish are gorgeous. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks again everyone. Have the brookies and browns always co-existed together in that stream? Well Fidel they have co-existed since the browns were first introduced into this stream several decades ago. The area of the creek I'm fishing is the lower limits for specks as summer water temps tend to become too warm. Since they are in direct competition with the browns the specks here tend to average over 13"s and upwards of 18" to 19"s. In 10 plus years of fishing this area I can count on one hand the number of specks I've caught (seen) that are under 10"s, anything smaller is just a meal for the big browns.
