Familyfisherman Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Tried the Notty near Baxter this morning (Thurs)...up about a foot, VERY dirty...give it a couple days...only a couple fish, although a Beaver did swim by within a few feet which was interesting...
Rustic-Fisher Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Not far from there you may see a couple river otters engaged in their river antics. Not great for fishing but hilarious to watch. Thanks for the update. R
BillM Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 Let's hope the winter weather gets her so everyone will start ice fishing. More reports on Simcoe, less on the rivers.
rhare Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 at least a good portion is C&R not like a few other slaughter houses around...
misfish Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 at least a good portion is C&R not like a few other slaughter houses around... One of the reasons I love fishing the stretch from Angus to Alliston. C&R. FUN FUN FUN. If I want a feed of trout,I head to a local place for my needs. Ah Bill, hear ya.
BillM Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 at least a good portion is C&R not like a few other slaughter houses around... Best thing that's ever happened to that river. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more Gbay tribs follow suit.
rhare Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Best thing that's ever happened to that river. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more Gbay tribs follow suit. 100% agree, the amount of guys fishing this fall everyday is crazy. I also can't believe how many guys are there day after day taking home fish. Hope some changes are made soon the CO's are all for it and see the damage thats being done.
Kingsalmon Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Even in NY they lower their limit to one steelhead in tributaries (LO tribs). If the MNR would lower the limit a lot of people wouldn't bother driving two/three hours for one fish. Edited December 23, 2011 by Kingsalmon
Rustic-Fisher Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Would love to see a Tag system implemented on the Notty. Wonder how many fish at any given time are in some of the "Angus crews" freezers Lol.
BillM Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 If they make it past 'the kill zone' they're lucky! lol
12footspringbok Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Would love to see a Tag system implemented on the Notty. Wonder how many fish at any given time are in some of the "Angus crews" freezers Lol. Way to generalize.... Its always the meat hunting locals fault... Who exactly is going to enforce a tag system? The Co's that are already spread so thin they can't even properly enforce the C&R section or the 2 fish possesion limit? In all the hours I've spent on that river over the past 13-14 years the closest I have come to seeing a CO is the card that was left on my windshield 2 years ago. If they make it past 'the kill zone' they're lucky! lol You'd be surprised Bill. I seen alot of prime spawning hens released by the most unlikely candidates this fall in the lower sections. I think catch and release really is starting to catch on for some anyways....
Rustic-Fisher Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 "Angus crew" are not all from Angus but fish it daily @ hwy 90. Check out how Florida manages their Tarpon tags. Not saying go that extreme but it's an idea. No COs in 13-14years... Better get out a bit more lol. Thou I agree that it's a well known problem that They are spread sparingly to start.

I think catch and release really is starting to catch on for some anyways.... Education is way cheaper then a tag system I never fish the lower stretches, so I'm only going by the handful of times I've ever fished right in Angus. I've gotten some strange looks after releasing fish
ch312 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Let's hope the winter weather gets her so everyone will start ice fishing. More reports on Simcoe, less on the rivers. while i understand where you're coming from, i see no harm in posting reports on water conditions, daily catches, or what presentations worked that day. a general report like this causes no harm. IMO, your post is worse than the OP as it states a specific place to fish. you're clearly against people posting reports on rivers, but yet you tell everyone there's fish to be caught in angus. just sayin...

You see no harm in up to date water conditions, fish caught and what presentations worked? I guess you like people doing the leg work for you BTW, mentioning Angus is like mentioning Erindale park on the Credit (OMG did I just ruin that fishery to?!??!?!)

I thought notty is is no kill zone.
BillM Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 I thought notty is is no kill zone. Only from the confluence of the Boyne/Notty to the confluence of the Pine/Notty.

Wonder how many fish at any given time are in some of the "Angus crews" freezers Lol. Ya, wonder how many many whities are in the freezers from the lowlanders around Innisfil and their retarded parking rules and outrageous parking rates.
Rustic-Fisher Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Likely a bunch, not in my freezer though. And good for you were able to read I live in Innisfil and than call me "a lowlander" lol Merry Christmas Bud LOL..... Edited December 23, 2011 by Jaspers On Point
rhare Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Ya, wonder how many many whities are in the freezers from the lowlanders around Innisfil and their retarded parking rules and outrageous parking rates. Yeah it's easy to change the subject and point fingers at other fisheries. Fact of the matter is that it's the same "type" of angler that abuse a fishery. Angus,Innisfil,Jackson Point,Gbay shore lines, the list goes on. Every night for weeks I saw the same guy cleaning fish at the fish cleaning station on hwy 90. Its pretty hard to argue that there's a serious problem there. As far as a tag system lets be realist.If we don't have the cash to enforce the current laws then how are we going to monitor a tagging system? It would more benefical to make some other tribs C&R as well and maybe extend the C&R zone on the notty
newb09 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Posted December 23, 2011 Only from the confluence of the Boyne/Notty to the confluence of the Pine/Notty. Good to know.. Thanks Bill

I would rather see the present C&R zone become a no fish zone outright. At least then there's a good area for the fish to grow, spawn and not be bothered.

I would rather see the present C&R zone become a no fish zone outright. At least then there's a good area for the fish to grow, spawn and not be bothered. I've made more then my fair share of phone calls on both the tribs and in the winter on Simcoe. Making the present C&R zone a out right no fish zone isn't going to accomplish anything. The fish aren't spawning in those areas and they aren't spending much of there early life there either. How many parr have you caught in the Notty? The headwaters and the tribs that flow into notty are the main spawning areas and most are fairly well protected as it is.

Making it a no fish zone would be pointless.
