juan96 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hello I have plan paddling to Toronto Island this Saturday and fishing for Trout. But I wondering if I catch the pike by mistake, is it illegal? Toronto Island is Zone 20 and pike will be open 1st Sat in May but Trout is now open. I catch and release all the time so should be no issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Targeting Pike would be illegal,if your trying to catch Trout with a Mepps Musky Killer or something similar then you might have a problem. If your in a spot and your catching one Pike after another then move. If you not targeting them I wouldn`t worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeGuy Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You'll be okay as long as fishcop, Don Maw, is in NW Ontario. He'd love catching you with illegal pike slime on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt bruce Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 In 30 + years of fishing lake o and the harbour NEVER heard of anyone fishing for trout at the islands unless you count the early 80's when they tryed to get a trout pond going . would be hard to get anyone to believe you were trying for trout .. Try asbridges bay may still be some browns around but the islands ????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 As Bruce said, the Islands + trout doesn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Of course there's trout at the islands. It doesn't take years of experience to figure that out. Good luck trout fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Daniels Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 There are definitely brown trout in the canals in the Toronto Islands, I've seen groups of them chasing bait. I wouldn't say that there are enough to legitimately go out and target them though, you would probably catch more Pike when targeting trout in there IMO. If I were you I'd hold off fishing the Islands until Pike opens, much better places to target trout than the islands anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Indeed. Far better places to fish trout than that, you'd be better off on hamilton harbour. But they are there. From the sounds of it you're kinda hoping to catch pike on trout lures. If that's the case, it will be the CO who determines if he believes you are targetting pike, or trout. Chances are if all you've caught is pike all day, they'll ding you for pike fishing. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 is it legal to keep a deer that I have hit with my truck how far off the road am I allowed to drive to hit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 You could always use a nightcrawler on bottom or under a float, or maybe bottom bounce a roe bag. Then there would be no confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 As mentioned don't go using pike lures or big stuff,that would entice a Pike. worm,small spinner,along those lines should mean you aren't targeting them. You put a line in the water you really could catch anything ,make sure you cover your ,that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 is it legal to keep a deer that I have hit with my truck how far off the road am I allowed to drive to hit it That's exactly how i feel about this. I'd fish somewhere else for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
