Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 shouldn't the southern tribs be just about done with steelies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Google maps, backroads road map, let us know how you make out. A lot of work goes into finding decent spots, not to many people will (or should) hand them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 There's some big browns in Whiteman's, you just have to dig for them. They're pretty wary seeing how much pressure it gets. Credit gets a ton of stocking and has alot of fish above Norval. The Grand below Fergus also gets alot of stocking and is full of fish, check the regs for special bait exceptions. Those are pretty much your best shots around Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmeh Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I second the Grand around the Fergus area. As previously mentioned most of the river in that area is subject to several restrictions (no live bait, single barbless hooks, catch and release only) but don't let that discourage you. The special regs lead to more fish in the water so if you don't mind C & R give it a try. I really wish more rivers would designate regs similar to the Grand and Credit, it's undoubtedly great for the fishery. It doesn't have to be the entire river just a few key sections would make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny G Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Go to Niagara river or try some pier fishing. You'll get bigger trout at those spots. Kenny G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin elia Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 The Credit River still has steelhead throughout the systems. Not sure what the rain did yesterday but you may want to wait and let it clear up. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
