Few chromers from the other day

Hey yall,

 

I managed to get out for some fishin the other day and got into some nice fish. The day started of very slow with not even a strike in the first 2 hours! I was thinking of giving up for the day and trying the next ... good thing i didn't!!LOL I ended up going 2-5 on the day loosing 2 fish due to my drag being to tight Im still trying to get the hang of this new drag-on-top reel but by the end of the day I had it down. My buddy lost what would have been his second steelhead ever, a 10#+ monster hen, to a log jam as well Overall it was still a great day as I got to wet a line and got into some steel. We ended up fishing well after dark with no action once it go really dark, but we though we'd give it a shot. Will float fishing still produce after dark? or should we be casting loud and bright hardware once the sun goes down? The only fishing ive done at night was for bass with loud rattling crankbaits. I had a chat with another guy on the river who was trying to convince me a certain trib west of toronto saw a run of lake trout this fall and was saying him and his son caught a combined 7 in one day!!! I didnt believe a word he said and wanted to call shenanigans but that would be wasting valuable time reserved for fishing

 

Thanks for reading

About 10 years ago or so the ganaraska river and not so much bowmanville creek used to get some lake trout around the mouth areas.some days at port hope they would drive you crazy there were so many.It is true,but they have not really been seen for quite some time now.I actually caught one way up bowmanville creek once!

A few years ago I got a nice laker out of the credit all the way up in streetsville. Yikes it was actually more like 14 years ago.

wow i had no idea they ran upriver! Are they spawning?

Think he was just an incedental catch, they do cruise the river mouths and estuaries in the fall thou.

They always hit after lighting a smoke...
