laszlo Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I thought it would be interesting to see the species of fish people have caught specifically in Ontario. Here is mine. Musky Northern Pike Pickerel Smallmouth Bass Largemouth Bass Rainbow Trout (and smelts) Brown Trout Rock Bass Sheephead Perch Sunfish / Bluegill / Pumkinseed Sucker Carp Mooneye Hornyhead Chub Catfish Channel Catfish Crappie Longnose Gar Atlantic Salmon Smolts Haven't had the chance to target deep water species (eg. lake trout, salmon, whitefish) in my lifetime. Seems my obsession with place casting over trolling has kept me away from these guys. Edited September 22, 2009 by laszlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 get a few big streamer flies and fish them on spinning gear under a clear casting bubble (clear float), The gar in quinte and Trenton seem to like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oates Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I hooked a gar pike in the grand in 1-2ft of water on a gold rapala minnow, probably by accident, very ugly fish, not fun trying to take the lure back out of this aligator mouth.

BillM Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) nobody's caught a brookie??? What's a brookie? Along with brookie add Sturgeon to the list if it's not there yet (white sturgeon to be exact) I also think a few members here have been lucky enough to catch a golden trout also.

Fishnwire Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I know there are black crappie in Ontario, but are there any white crappie? They're two different species. Also, aren't there two or three different species of catfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laszlo Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 This thread is for species people on OFC have 'caught' in Ontario. If it were just what species we could 'think of' then I could have just listed them all in the beginning. So... Any other species to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
