They are still lowering water level for annual lock maintenance. And we had rain here on Sunday which ruined Saturdays skim of Ice.

Happy New Years all

Late September camping trip with the family. The perch were hungry and the kids were loving it😎

Merry Christmas 🎄

I agree with Mark. There’s tons of fish in the Rec and they have managed for so many yrs without our help. Sometimes we are nature’s worst enemy when we think we’re helping. Debatable either way. While walking Merrit island we have seen Christmas trees placed in the middle of the Rec on the ice close to the end of Thorold Rd multiple yrs in a row. I figured someone was planning a bonfire or creating structure

Some guys are still trying to finish off the beans. Been so wet and the heavy clays that are over saturated don’t help. Greasy business.

Annual family trip for the colours and a lil fishing. Had trouble finding any wallies but the perch and bass were hungry

Could contact John at Erie Marine and small engines. He’s great. +1 (289) 668-7745 not sure if he does mobile stuff but doesn’t hurt to call

They definitely did. Spent more time putting worms on and helping take fish off then fishing. But it’s worth it when the smiles r plenty

Not a monster by no means but was only one that got pic’d. I simplified my set up by adding a bell sinker to my swivel clip and a 12” leader with small hook n worm on bottom and that seemed to be the ticket

Great Park for hiking and Biking. Not the greatest spot for fishing in my own experience😜They r there but Arrowhead lake is not deep and warms quickly. Mayflower lake (at park office) gets stocked with brookies every yr but they probably don’t last much past opener. Park office side of Mayflower is shallow, middle and opposite side a little deeper. When i was tossing small spoons last fall guy told me its 60ft plus in middle. I didn’t have canoe to check it out. I haven’t ventured outside of the park. Please report if you have better luck as I usually fall camp there most yrs as trails r decent for my boyz wheelchair and bike trailer

Welland Rec Canal has lots of shaded fishing spots. Lots of panfish, bass, gobies and the odd pike and if its hot u can jump in n cool off

Lots of patience. Visibility is poor at best so something with a rattle. Red and yellow xrap has worked. Water temperature is probably higher then normal already so definitely pick ur times. Slow. Lots of walleye in there if nothing else. Lots of trees n such towards Nigara street end to hang up on. Worm harness red beads/chrome blades has worked as well with super slow troll against flow. Definitely need the chatter

Don’t forget to check the fluid level in the cells. I had a starting battery that always charged well at 2amps and was really reliable but i had to add distilled water at least once a year to top up cells. That’s assuming you don’t have maintenance free battery. I also had everything hooked up to it. Lights, fish finder, small trolling motor n my 35hp Merc.

I toss mine back. Buddy I was with kept his and said they taste like dirt. All in the pallet and how you cook em I guess
