Fishing has been good; this is steelhead weather...

Another season has come to an end at one of the best fishing spots that will probably gone soon. Enjoy! Had to keep the pike since the spoon was almost in his stomach... We used cured skein in hot pink, hooked fish all day every time we went using 30 lbs fluorocarbon leaders, that was me with two kids on the green bridge daily.

Three more weeks at least, depending how warm it is.

We fished the east pier in the evenings for the last two days, still hot around 7:00 pm! Drifting worms on a three way, caught sheepshead, suckers and bass. Few nice smallies caught each day!

Are those fish caught from shore?

I tried with corn the other day by the dam at the end of the pier but I think the gobies were stealing the corn....Will try again at hte pier with a long ass net by hte light huse.

Hey Smerch, Have you fished Port D pier for carp? I seen a few jump last year while fishing salmon.

Lost two fish on Friday afternoon at the same spot, was windy but not that hot. Very hot for the next two days, looks like a beer day:)

I went to fish Renne around 11 am for about 1.5 hours this morning, surprisingly fish were surfacing after we chummed but not one hit! Not one touch on the hair rig....

Fishing carp so far this spring has been tough in my area, fished the pond for two hours at Renne on Friday and not even a bump, water seemed cold for this time of year.

About a 1 km down from the dam, at Pier point park.

Hi, Has anybody fished the Grand this year in Fergus, the section that I am referring to is from the dam to the hydro lines. Went there last year three times and haven't seen one trout rise! Was there a die off?

Its Saugeen River, been going up there to fish the opener for the last 25 years, kind of a tradition to hang out with friends. Less people every year due to high prices of travelling and fewer fish, gas alone cost me $160 for a round trip.... Unlike the US, CAN stocks very little fish in rivers and relies mostly on natural reproduction.

Was more then a couple, I hooked about 10 in two hours then it died off. Next day I was able to cross to the main current and got 5, all big hens pushing 9lbs+.

Few fish around but nothing what the fishing used to be due to the stoppage of the "steelhead transfer" by the MNR.

Where in the river you were fishing?

That's my neck of the woods, river is dirty right now and fishing is tough....If you guys wanna go, wait a few more weeks, around third week of April but fishing will be good until June. City Marina in Windsor is good for perch right now, but pressure from shore is heavy! Got my limit their two weeks ago. I will let you guys know when the fishing is good, maybe I can meet you in Windsor or even drive up with you. I got tons of places we can stay the night for free but we have to take one of the local guides fishing with us lol....Bait, Boat Launch and accommodations are free....I drive up there every two months to visit my parents and leave the kids with them!

I skate at the trail not the pond...

Two inches at the Pond, 4 inches at the trail....Will be skating tomorrow

Very cold weather coming for the next two weeks, "ice ice baby"....

This has to be the windiest December ever, with up and down temps.....

This is not looking good guys for fishing from shore the Niagara on the Canadian side....They will start closing the entire river from fishing piece by piece...

Trails are open but I guess you are not allowed to go down to the water, Cripps to ledge is closed since I don't think they know that trail lol.....The police did not kick me out, just two park employees equipped with a whistle and a radio lol...I am sure if I did not leave, they would call the park police.

I was booted from fishing the Glen at the ledge this Sunday around 10:00 am by Niagara Parks Commission employees. The informed me that you can only fish from Crispy eddy and up! Any idea how to fight this? Area is posted with no trespassing signs, been fishing their for 30 years. The closer comes as a result of tourists getting injured during the covid lock downs.

That spot on the American side is extremely dangerous, many people have fallen in that specific location.
