007 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Congratulations on your first Brown Trout - what a beautiful fish. 007
Ben_Daniels Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Just when i was startin to think there were no more fish in there....feels good, that was my first fish sinse fall because I dont ice fish . I was talkin to a concervation officer rigth after i caught her, liscence check lol. and he was saying that it was proboly a hatchery fish from new york because it had a pelvic fin clipped. Do they clip hatchery fish from Ontario? Edited April 25, 2007 by Ben_Daniels

highdrifter Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Hey Kewl! Never hooked up with a brownie on that side... Nice fish! tight loops HD
Jonaton Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 While that is a lovely fish was anyone going to tell him that the pike he was fishing for are out of season? Can't think of anything else you would try to catch with a bucktail.
Ben_Daniels Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Posted April 25, 2007 I was using a 1/8 oz, 1/2 inch blue fox spinner that I put a bucktal trebble on.... not really a pike lure at all
Bob Posted April 26, 2007 Report Posted April 26, 2007 I have fished trout for years with spinners, often with dressed hooks (hair, feathers etc.) and I've fished early season trout with 5" rapalas very successfully. I caught my biggest pike at 43" on the same rapala. I can't fathom why anyone would ASSUME someone was targetting OOS fish at the mention of a lure type. Many lures are good for multiple species. Are we going to call for a restriction of lure types which are allowed if there happens to be a OOS species that may hit said lure? Too much!
nkranger Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 hello every1 where in ashbrigdes bay is a place to fish?? i have never fished there. If ya no of ne good spots in toronto let me no (fishin from shore)
