Tyler0420 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I’d like to keep it the same date and location. People already have plans for this date. I’ll check it out Thursday/Friday if no one else can. If it’s unsafe maybe the weekend after will work. I’d like to keep it “local”. I think going to simcoe would easily cut the number of people showing up in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't exactly check the ice but I'll happily have a little drive down Thursday and Friday to see if anyone else is out there, just let me know mate.

Bubba14 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 The long range forecast has changed a bit (if you can believe the weather prognosticators), and it shows it being a little colder and a lot less rain in the days leading up to next weekend than it showed yesterday!

Need directions from Hamilton pls 🙄😁 From Hamilton take the Qew to the netherby rd exit. Turn right and follow that about 15 km to the first set of traffic lights. Make a left and follow that road to the end. Big open turn around where everyone will be parked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Would it not be more direct to get on hwy 20 to Smithville , to Webber Rd. , to Prince Charles Dr. to Town Line Rd....turn right to Canal Bank Rd.& drive to the end . ?

That way is definitely cutting off the corner and most likely quicker. For someone out of town taking the QEW might be easier. 406 to the 140 to netherby would also be a good option.

Chrisb Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 406 would definitely be better than Netherby road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 A family fishing derby will take place on the Rec. this Sunday . Anyone wanting another day on the ice can test their luck (skills) This article says there's 6" of ice and lists the species caught in the Rec. canal . Looking good for Saturday ! https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news-story/9174748-free-family-ice-fishing-tournament-sunday-in-welland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Good thing he is setting it up at the flatwater centre, and not down at the end of Kingsway where we are going to be, or people may be coming out Saturday to scout, and there is not a lot of parking there.

Before they built the place up we got a variety of fish there .....gills , crappies , bass , pike and the odd salmon made it there from the new canal . Lots of weeds in there , used floats often . That long stretch to Ontario Rd. was wide open , lots of spots to cast a line without tangling up in rowing markers . We can still ice fish there as the photo shows , but I'm not sure if the road is open or if parking is available . Us old dudes really got in on the best of times before Mr.Progre$$ took over Jack .

genec Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Rec canal could have the potential to be a great fishery, but the city won't do anything to improve it! i submitted a 4-page proposal to the city a few years ago to create fishhabitat structures along the bottom of the canal, but they ignored it. All they care about is making money from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a trustee on the board for a local conservation club and had a direct hand in the walleye stocking project in the welland river ......I actually raised some of the fish that went in there.....with smerchlys son...... I know how things change.... how they used to be and can be again...plus spending decades fishing the area and learning my own secrets is why I don't stumble over more people fishing the same body of water.. .. it's not cuz I dont like the cumpny......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
