manutd_jeeves Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is anyone aware of where I can pursue small brook trout in thorold? I have heard multiple anglers while fishing lake gibson tell me of brooke trout near decew falls. Not that I doubt them, but, I am a kid from Windsor just trying to learn the waters here, and would appreciate any insight! Cheers, Jeeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 You might have been talking to a guy stuck in a time warp, there were brook trout in the area up until about 20 or so years ago, sadly, none remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanl Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 if your looking for brook trout in this area you have to really do the foot work, they are hard to find and you wont come up on them easily. good luck and happy hunting:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 The rumors are short hills has em, but there is a lot of water and a lot of legwork to find them. Never caught one. Probably never will. They are kinda like a myth ... similar to pickeral/walleye in Gibson, the blue walleye, and a few others ... you hear a story here and there but no one is ever willing to put a picture up or give spot details.

Pottsie Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 If your willing to make the drive lots of specks in the halton area all the smaller creeks have some in them. If ya pm me I might be able to help a little more. Bugs were really bad this wk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I caught one there, but it has to be 20 years ago now. I haven't been back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheperchman Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 the only thing you'll catch looking for brook trout in this area are ticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob29 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I waded that entire stretch a few times practicing my fly cast. i have caught chubbs bass and sunfish. Never even seen a brookie. And going off the path in shorthills park subjects you to a fine if caught. Leave that area for a nature walk and go north for the brookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmoe Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I asked this on another thread, but didn't get an answer... could the lower Niagara support brookies? You'd think it'd have the oxygenation, and it must be cold deep down there. Maybe competition would weed them out... but you'd think it'd be good at least on a put and take basis.
