mpagnan Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hello all, Heading back to Brantford this weekend to catch up with the folks. Just wondering if anyone is heading out over the weekend? I've never fished this section of the Grand and would enjoy learning from some area veterns. Just PM me if you're interested.

mpagnan Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Change in plans. I've invited two buddies from out of town to come along but I really don't know where to take them! I'm feeling the pressure now....is there any spots you guys would suggest? Of course I'm not looking for the "spot" but just certain stretches of the river to hit up or avoid. Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Coincidently I'm heading out that way with my GF tomorrow as well. I've never fished the Grand either but heading out there based on the recommendations of a few people from this forum. We don't really have a spot in mind either, just gonna wing it and drive along the system till we find something we like. Gonna be sure to bring along the GPS! Maybe we'll run into each other. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmeh Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Keep in mind there are several areas of the Grand in that area that have very strict regulations. Basically between Paris and Brant park is all catch and release, single barbless hooks. Just be aware if you're in this section, below it you're fine. Downstream of Brantford, the dam in Caledonia is a popular spot and you can catch just about anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch312 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 theres a spot not far from the cockshutt bridge that goes from 2.5-10ft almost instantly on the fish finder. find that spot and you'll be into bass and walleye. now, would that be up or down river? what do i consider not far? the river is loaded with bass and has quite a few walleye. white jigs and chartreuse/silver cranks are my best producers. topwater is awesome for the bass as well.

mpagnan Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sounds good. How about Whiteman's Creek for some Steelies or Browns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpagnan Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Wading question. If I enter Whiteman's Creek from the Pottruff bridge can I make my way downstream to the Grand if I stay in the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
