coreyhkh Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Can any one give me ant tips on get a brown to bite. I have tried every thing from spinner baits to live worms and they just look the other way. Today I tried flys they worked on the salmon but not the trout. I am trying to catch just one because I have never caught one before. Also another question I have is Ian seeing alot of dead salmon with there stomach cut. Are people just after the eggs.

Guest Pike212 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 3 way swivel, 4-6 lb. fluorocarbon with a small hook and rainbow roe. Bottom bounce by the port Dalhousie dam. Salmon come back to freshwater, spawn, and die. You'll see lots in marinas and other shallow waters on their last legs or already dead now since the spawn is done. I'm sure there are guys takin eggs and chuckin them back too for the browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeBaggin Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Use single eggs. Hard for them to deny. Most of the fish in the system are snackin on salmon eggs that naturally flow down stream. I also get them on minnow imitations. Bottom bouncing is the best way to get em in Port. Although you can get em close to shore via float. Hope this helps. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Wecome to my world Ha ha .....good one Ron...... . Sometimes one can learn how to catch fish by taking a walk around an area where fish are being caught and talk to the seasoned anglers . They will show you their set ups & you can watch how they bottom bounce those bags or flies etc. You will soon get the drift of the "feel" as the sinker skips lightly along the bottom .

Helron Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I agree there seems to be an elite group over there that thinks it is a private pier!

tmate Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 kinda agree with the whole port situation...which is why i never fish there stick to the poool...plenty of spots to go around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeBaggin Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Can be the case of a few spoils out of the bunch, but that should not deter you from fishing there. I admit that half of the guys that fish there are not the guys who will make the trek to the pool on a regular basis. More convenient to step out of the car...take two steps and launch your three way! Some guys in the past thought they owned the pier. Guess what, your gonna get that all over the place. I've had confrontations in the whirlpool from people who think its okay to take your spot after you have hooked a fish and venture down stream to land him. It doesn't go over well! LOL Bottom line don't let anyone bully you into not wanting to fish, you have the same right they do. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalheadangler Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I agree, like golf, fishing has un-written rules that everyone should know but doest , but there are lots of good spots where you can catch browns(queenston,the glen) I seen one come out of the glen a few weeks ago on a spinner.

Smokin Joe Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 There are literally 100's maybe even 1000's of local spots a person can catch some nice trout in and around the Niagara Region. It never seems to amaze me that all the attention seems to be put on a handful of locations and then people wonder or complain that they are heavily fished.

Helron Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 There are alot of young people that are getting into fishing, that do not have the opportunity or finances to travel to different areas to fish Trout. That being said you would think the so called adults would want to help and encourage the young people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogliq2 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Right on, Port Dalhousie is THE best trout hole in Ontario !!! Doesn't matter where you fish, half the time the trout can't wait for your bait to hit the water. They'll jump right out of the water to take your presentation. If someone pushes you out of the way, just fish 10 feet further down. No difference. (If you never see me fishing there, it's because I can't take too much excitement, and all that trout action would do me in, but I have fished there in the past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Corey, as mentioned earlier, bottom bouncing with roe, streamers, plastics. One just has to put in the time. Asking questions and watching will help with the hook ups as well. And of course the trout have to be on the feed. Many times us regulars, well we don't get skunked, we just wash our tackle from time to time I don't meet many if any people down at Port that get intimidated by the regulars there. It's a very simple system fishing down there, and after watching how it's done for a few minutes, one just jumps in and enjoy the sport. Any spot in Niagara is going to have a few grumps, so you just deal with it with good communication, and all is good. Yesterday at Port I was fishing beside a family I have not met before. They did not have the set up to get long casts for bottom bouncing and as a result, we tangled a few times. So the solution was simple, watch a wait. They would wait till my drift was complete, as I would with them. We actually switched places from time to time, to avoid tangles. But the tangles still happened from time to time, which is expected, with the number of people fishing the pier. In the party beside me was a guy with his wife, and maybe three year old daughter, and grandpa as well. They had fun fishing and playing with the child and the guy netted a fish for me. I was asked various questions which I gladly answered, and they totally enjoyed their day out and were not intimidated at all, by the regulars. They fished, played with child, had their picnic, and enjoyed the day I have no clue why one would feel intimidated fishing at Port, unless it's a confidence thing. And even with that, again, one just has to watch and learn for a bit. When in Rome...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud you knightfisher for having the proper perspective on the sport. The fishing world (and world in general), would be a better place if we all had this kind of attitude! Well done!
