davey buoy Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Thinking of heading to Angus tomorrow,one would think the initial first run should be moving up in my past experiences, 2nd to 3rd week of August is typically my best time.Anyone know what's happening if anything this past week? Thanks Davey. .
LefroyFisherman Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 I was thinking the same thing, last year it was this early but probably because of all the rain... not so sure if they would be there yet this year.

The higher amount of rain would make it easier for the run up if anything. Also the cooler last couple of nights shouldn't hurt either I would think.
LefroyFisherman Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 yeah I know the rain makes it easier, last year we got a pile of rain though, they might be there
davey buoy Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Posted August 12, 2011 I think I'll try first thing in the morning,I'll post back on what or what not is happening.
misfish Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 The river never got low all year. Lots of rain in the spring and the summer kept it above norm. The notty is known to have early runs then norm. It may be worth a look,but it looked dirty to me still.

I seem to think that river is almost always dirty,on a good day I find you can only see about 2-3' from shore.Somehow the fish seem to see well enough.
LefroyFisherman Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 I've never seen it all that clear
misfish Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Well if you fish the Angus area,you will never see it clear. Thats why I fish other spots that are not mud bottoms.
davey buoy Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Posted August 13, 2011 Well if you fish the Angus area,you will never see it clear. Thats why I fish other spots that are not mud bottoms. Well about 3hrs in to the morning I caught a 7lb salmon. What a fight, forgot about the early ones with a ton of energy.Saw a few jumping, but was surprised about the early bird fisherman this year. Looks like a good start to a new fall.

bigredfisher Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 Just came back . Rain yesterday killed it really dirty and VERY SLOW
J-M Posted August 17, 2011 Report Posted August 17, 2011 Just came back . Rain yesterday killed it really dirty and VERY SLOW There's enough water in the notty to get those salmon up, we just need some colder nights to bring that water temperature down and trigger them to run.

Swan_Dive Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 Just a question to you guys that fish the Angus area, what is the deal with the seperate fishing permit for the Essa Township area? I have heard that you need one while fishing on Essa property but have not really look into it. I have just avoided the area because I did not want to get in trouble. Where would I go to get information on this or to get a permit? Any help with this would be appreciated Swany
J-M Posted August 20, 2011 Report Posted August 20, 2011 Talk to Essa Township. Basically. They charge a fishing permit ($40) to fish on any of Essa Township public lands in and around the Angus area which backs onto the Nottawasaga river. The permit includes a ticket to fish the annual salmon derby that takes place near the end of Sept. I know a lot fishermen who think the permit system is Bull considering its public lands. The positive side is a large portion of that money has and will be used to rehabilitate the river, they've hosted a volunteer riverside tree plant, they've installed fish cleaning tables, and recently installed a covered picnic area for families and fishermen. The way I see it, if that money is used to rehabilitate the river and improve the salmon and trout populations, I'm all for it! The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation is always looking for rehabilitation money..... JM Fishingsimcoe.com
Swan_Dive Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 J-M, thank you for the help, the permit sounds like it is worth it and is going to a good cause. I will talk to essa Township and hopefully be out there fishing in the near future. Thanks again Swany
