Are they well up the rivers now, because I've been fishing pretty far up and haven't seen any?

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?

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.

Creek chub.

[rhymobot]

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.

[Dan668]

Bows in cooksville? It's so shallow, i always see the sand bar there

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

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.

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.

Ok, I know that they fight pretty good, I caught my pb yesterday, about 13".

[mikeseb]

fish for suckers today from about 130-6. Well over 20 hook ups and about 20 fish landed.

[Christopheraaron]

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]

Suckers have definitely started stacking up in my area. Landed numerous all around 20 inches. Good luck Richmond.

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

[Christopheraaron]

FINALLY!! I got that sucker, about 1.5 pounds, out of a pond around here! Sorry no pics this time.

[rhymobot]

Good good. It finally paid off.
