Congrats Bill.!  I am just going over my carp gear since I am almost done trout fishing.  Can you post your maize recipe? Thanks,

Tim

A story in the local paper said they are talking about turning the main part of Lock St. into a pedestrian walk way at specific times . There's only one way in and out of Port . Sometimes traffic is diverted from the QEW (accidents) and all traffic comes through Main St. & down Lock St .to get back to Ontario St. or Lakeshore Rd. When the new condos are filled  it will be gridlock there ....  

 If we can use the piers , we will probably need to use parking meters if we can find one open ....I'll stick to the east side if I want to fish there , and it may be the same thing to find a parking spot as the marina uses most of the space now. 

  

Piers are open, tons of people walking on them.  With the low water, you will need a longer net!  

They are amazing to eat!  Cook them like a smelt, been cooking them for my kids every time we come home from the pond.

Lots of trout in there this year but they are tiny, 8" to 12".  The place was packed this weekend, I go there three times a week with my kids since we live 10 min away, we catch bass and panfish during the summer months.

Oh BTW, Port D piers are both open! Went for a walk yesterday morning on the East pier, what an awesome job they did!  Might go back there this evening with a rod!

They will bite again, you are allowed to C&R.  When the weather gets warmer that pond will kill the trout do to lack of oxygen and warm water.

That said, trout in that specific pond should be catch and keep only since they are a stock fish with poor survival rate when released. 

Conservation are is open now, was there fishing few days ago.

I finished work in beamsville around 3:00 so on my way home I stopped by CCIW. Fished for two hours before I had to leave. No takers but it was nice to be there again. I can’t wait for spring when that place is “hot”.  Today’s menu was crushed boilie, expanding pellets and pinkberry goo in pva mesh with pinkberry scented boilie/floating corn.

 How did I not catch something 🤔.....

I think the carp go deep into the lake in the winter and go back in harbors in the spring/summer. You might catch the odd one but that's about it.
