mslovak Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have a question for you experienced stream/creek/River fisherman. A friend and I have a day trip planned for Brookies for later in the week to the Grey Bruce Area. My question is what effect will the rain today have on clarity and water level and should we be concerned. Thanks in advance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetch Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Good questions. Many factors attribute to clarity, how big is the creek or stream, is there a lot of feeder run off creeks that enter this stream, what's the water flow like etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler0420 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'd say go fish. Creeks have been low n clear lately. So a lil stain won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjcanoe Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 The closer to the headwaters you get, the less the water levels /clarity will be affected, that said, the water may still be stained or high, but will clear up and return to normal levels (sometimes in as little as a few hours) much quicker than downstream areas.

cplummer Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Water up there stays clear for the most part. It may be high though.only takes a day or so to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steellee Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Every systems different depending on a lot of things. My small Erie Creek fished very well today the rains were exactly what was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brookie slayer Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Just talked to a buddy in Hanover . They didn't get hardly any rain today. Leaving tonight to fish the Grey/Bruce area for 4 or 5 days. Will try to post some conditions if I get near WiFi. Supposed to rain Wednesday they're sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brookie slayer Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Tuesday was fine. Partly sunny 14 degrees. Water was a tad high but not that dirty. Fishing was good...... Wednesday 1am - 5:30 am rains.on and off. Hard at times..water high and a little dirtier but not bad.still fishable. Warm mostly sunny 16 degrees. Fishing was poor today.

mslovak Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just got back from day trip, only a couple small fish to show to show for. Weather was great and got a lot exercise! Still a lot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslovak Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Planning to go back up for another day trip in a couple weeks to Grey Bruce . Looking for some tips from you experienced Brookie fisher persons . We have been targeting the pools , undercuts and log jams on fairly fast flowing rivers with stone botyoms . Is this the best approach or should we be looking in waters with silty bottoms with less flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
