rbaquial Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Hey Folks, As time gets closer and closer - its making me wish I could do some river fishin'! (and not just dinky lil' guys) Anyway, my question is to those who has tried fishing Bronte Creek (in Burlington) for Trout/Salmon... Just wondering if the fish are known to run up there? Thanks! RoB PS: I'd like to know of your fav. places (PM me). Edited July 25, 2009 by A2F
yo_guy Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 Fish do run up there and sorry I can't and will not tell you my favourite places... You can work the river anywhere from the mouth of bronte all the way up Petro Canada Park. If you like to walk keep going north till you're tired you can find a few spots with some small pools. Generally speaking this creek is really shallow. Time the rain and should find fish anywhere. It's all site fishing! Keep in mind of the regs as well for closing dates of particular stretches. Honestly, you are better off at the credit with more flow.

Sshhh! (there's a great opportunity there if one has a small cartopper or pontoon....)
CLofchik Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Learn to fish the gun metal freight trains off the piers at night instead of the dark mud sharks up little creeks. North winds, cold water, glow spoons............. Oh and Solo, opportunities, plural. Credit has an even better estuary to fish, with it too small & shallow to really run boats up it pretty much stays untapped. Oh crap, where's the edit button!!!!!.............

yo_guy Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 It's been a while since I fished this creek... at any rate that's why I stated Keep in mind of the regs as well for closing dates of particular stretches.

What I meant to say was "if you care to share your fav. spots, i would greatly appreciate it - fire me a PM"...Sorry 'bout that folks!
Raf Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 believe it or not, people caught fish before the internet they typically put in some leg work; had their share of successes and failures but eventually, found their own little holes try it sometime.
BLUE-EYES Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) So does that mean i can fish in the sanctuary if im in waiters in the water??? Edited September 23, 2009 by BLUE-EYES

packrat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 If you fish Petro Park be prepared for the most disgusting display of sportmanship you've ever seen. The stench when the run is on will have you looking for something to cut the smell a bit.
Marko Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Was there yesterday, its very very shallow. Still no stench tho and not too many dead fish laying around which probably tells you that there was no major run just quite yet.
Guest gbfisher Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 It's Jammed!............................
