Are they well up the rivers now, because I've been fishing pretty far up and haven't seen any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 How did you catch A dace, let alone 8? I think that they're dace i'm not sure but I know that they're a baitfish, I catch them in my local creek whenever I feel like getting out. Here's a picture of one maybe you can tell me what it is?

Nipfisher Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Stupid question....but....are the dandelions out down there yet? I have always been told "the suckers run when the dandelions come". At least in North Bay anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhymobot Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 thanks for all the replies. saw them in etobicoke creek but there were only 5. came back 15 mins later and only saw 2 of them there. the place where i've seen like 3 dozen concentrated within a 20 yard space and in 2 feet of water which was cooksville creek under lakeshore, was not possible this year. the mouth of the creek has a sandbar right across. the carp might not even make it in unless the water level rises. it didn't look like the water level was lower than usual so i was surprised to see the sandbar right across. and i've seen a couple of 'bows in this shallow creek before so it's a damn shame.

Garfisher Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Creek chub. I 2nd that ID Chubs themselves can put up a decent fight when they get big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I 2nd that ID Chubs themselves can put up a decent fight when they get big enough. I've been fooled one to many times by creek chubs thinking they are nice brookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhymobot Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Bows in cooksville? It's so shallow, i always see the sand bar there Ya I've seen a handful of them over the last few years. One at a time. The sandbar has always been jutting out there but right now its all the way across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amikwa Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ya the suckers are running good now on my end, lake huron tribs/ maitland, nine mile ect.. rainbow up the river for a few weeks now, slowed down. get some more when they head back down river. its warm this spring i hope they stay long like last year. I only fly fish and got a couple big suckers already this year. try some big kaufman nymphs or fuzzy large black stone-fly nymphs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I gotta say that I'm really exited that I'm going on vacation but at the same time a little disappointed that I'm missing out on the crappie and sucker at their peak!

Locnar Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Suckers have definitely started stacking up in my area. Landed numerous all around 20 inches. Good luck Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azebra Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Single eggs are good for suckers. Water temp for spawning is > 10oC. The way the weather is going that could be in a couple weeks! Many steelhead will be stuffed with sucker eggs. I would have to disagree, Ive witnessed bows spawning in as cold as 1-2 Celsius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 FINALLY!! I got that sucker, about 1.5 pounds, out of a pond around here! Sorry no pics this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
