Dan Andrews Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Brookie from Chippawa Creek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirfishalot Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 5lb Brookie??? 3lb brookie???? check again rock . Not in Chippawa or Jordan. Possibly a brown if Jordan. Hasn't been a report of a salmon or trout in Chippawa in probably 20 to 30 yrs. I can remember them bout 35 yrs ago spawning at grassy brook crk.

darkapocn Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 i have pics of the fish. and i was out sat mornin around 10am between stanley and the power canal, just past the trails where everyone rides their atv's. the spot i was at had 2 fallen trees and could see the train bridge. and i pulled a trout out of there. my manager from work even seen it. ill be honest im not too familiar with what seperates the diff kinds as of markings... but it looked like what i thought a brookie was. and i dont see how its soo hard to believe. chippawa connects to the niagara river, and there are certainly trout in there. i thought it was odd to find it there too, but even when i was tellin my dad about it he didnt think nothing of it.

Fishhead Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm no trout expert but I'm working on 50 posts, so: Brook trout or speckled trout are rare in Southern Ontario. That fish there is a rainbow trout. Nice catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest canada Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just a reminder dudes trout are out of season still on the inland waterways,youcan fish Jordon up to the QEW but beyond that the season is CLOSED!!! So I wouldn't be keeping any trout yet from the inland waters or for that matter targeting them!! Saturday is the opener and there should be loads of trouties in the tribs this year they seam to be about 2 weeks late!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basshound Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thats good news that Rainbow trout are making their way into Chippawa Creek. The US stocking program in Lake Erie has been good for fishing the Upper Niagara around Fort Erie. I can see trout making there way to the intakes at Chippawa and making their way down as far as the Hydro Canal. I got a surprise one year fishing the Hydro reservoir in April and picking up a nice Rainbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwl Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 the Hydro resevoir has always had rainbows in there, I used to do alot of fishing in there back in the day, and there where always a couple good spots for rainbows, too bad they don't really want anyone fishing in there any more, they have cracked down on all that crap since some guys decided to crash a plane into a couple buildings in NY . For Rockndafishes...you are better off to get a copy of the regs and check it out yourself if the guys giving you the info aren't very seasoned anglers...even at that for 2008 there are some regs in place that never used to be...for example closed season on pike in some inland areas, and no more netting or spearing pike either...the general regs are the same as far as inland trout goes. Every now and again there is the odd rainbow caught in the Welland River system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
