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

The beavers have done their deed with creating fish habitat at the 12 Mile by downing trees which make it impossible to fish some good spots . It would be nice to know where they have put structure in places we fish by marking them with signs ,

 On an unrelated issue , as I was going to fish the rec.canal I noticed some large cornfields that were not harvested ?? Maybe after a frost ?   That reminded me to pick up some maize at Minor Bros.....but I drove right passed it on hwy 20 , thinking it was further east (duh).....I'll grab some next time I fish the rec. 

  Look like it's time to bundle up a tad as cooler temps on the way !  

 

 

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

Sometimes the simplest rigs catch the most fish. Hopefully the kids got into some to. 

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
