huntervasili Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 How many fly fishers, river/stream fishermen are waiting to hit the water in 5 weeks and 2 days? I know I cant wait and will be on whitemans both days.... How bout you all? Cant wait to put out a nice report beatiful water out paris way...
urbanangler1990 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 i think its better to fish earlier like now, in those alowed zones, to me openers just bring headache from crowds and crowds of fisherman...
GbayGiant Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I use to love opener, the crowds are getting bigger every year but I've met a lot of new friends that way, still fun.
canadian_copper Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 i never go out on opener for the past 5or 6 yrs!!!! way too many people who dont have the slightest clue what there doin!!! and way to many meathunters for my liking!!! i fished a spot once and down stream there was about 20guys fishin 1 pool!!!about an hr into opener 2 of them walked by me with a wheel barrel loaded with trout!!1 pushed the barrel and the other picked the fish up as they fell out!!!now i understand 20guys at 5 fish per guy is within there legal limit but just the site of it turned me off openers!! i'll keep the cold months too myself just the way i like it lol
fishdawg Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 i always fish trout opener............ on the big lake where there is lotsa room to share with everyone
huntervasili Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 Well if you get private access you are set, which I am quite sure i can get... there is lots of river and just being out there is worth it.
charlied Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Well who says you have to fish a big stream for rainbows.....I myself go to a small creek and fish little specks with an ultra light and get over a hundred per person and lose tons more. Its fun to take someone who doesn't fish much or catch much! And there is barely anyone around!
ccmtcanada Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) I've never experienced a trout opener on the tribs before, so I'm sure I'll be one of the 20 guys standing around one pool....LOL. If I knew of other places to go other than the standard popular ones, I'd head off there, but alas, I'm relegated to the usual spots. I'm not complaining...I just gotta get out there and do my homework. Edited March 23, 2007 by ccmtcanada
MJL Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I happen to fish one of the busiest rivers in Ontario on the opener. More of a tradition really but even with the crowds I always enjoy myself spending time with my dad. If crowds aren't your think, whip out the fly rod and sling a cone-head bugger or clouser minnow out wildly. Crowds disipate quite quickly
iMetal Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I think the best fishing will be in the next week..perfect temps, water conditions should be perfect. Opening day is just an excuse for a BBQ! LOL
tonyb Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Lots of places to fish where there are fewer people. The rivermouths of a lot of the major tributaries will attract both salmon and trout that are feeding on baitfish that congregate in those areas. You can get into some good numbers and variety of species as well. The opener in the popular creeks is pretty hectic, you need to try to get a few fish early before they are spooked by 'deep-waders' (people who walk into pools up to their armpits trying to make drifts) Tony
huntervasili Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 C.C fishing opener is not an excuse to have a BBQ... It is ILLEGAL to fish for trout next week, no matter what conditions may be... Please make sure to read the issued manuals before fishing any species and body of water so as to be on the safe side...
huntervasili Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 And as a matter of fact you can find lots of not so busy spots for trout... If anyone is wondering about some PM me and I will try to help you out... I am a fly fisherman so I may leave a couple of FFing only spots out but that is for the good of the trout... I always fish for trout Barbless as well and ALWAYS release them unless I am doing some sort of week-long trip...
kemper Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 C.C fishing opener is not an excuse to have a BBQ... It is ILLEGAL to fish for trout next week, no matter what conditions may be... Please make sure to read the issued manuals before fishing any species and body of water so as to be on the safe side... Speaking of reading issued manuals, have you read them lately? I know Ill be fishing for trout next week, just as I have been this week.
solopaddler Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 As much as I love steelhead fishing, the opener will find me paddling in Algonquin Park for brook trout like I do every year (if the ice is out )
Mike the Pike Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Season opens here in Quebec on April 27th I will be on Lake Massawippi in the boat for browns lakers and Rainbows on the 28th of April. I will be fishing for Trout before that in the St.Lawrence River which is open all year round.Right now there is alot of ice floating downstream. MTP Edited March 24, 2007 by Mike the Pike
huntervasili Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Posted March 24, 2007 Yup... I do read the manuals every year and check em everytime before I go out... Most water is closed at the moment except for certain exceptions in S.O. I was talking about general rules and not exceptions
