staffman Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Perhaps ducks are transplanting eggs from other ponds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 The channel above the water slide comes from the canal at Allanburg .There's a variety of fish in the channel and some make their way to the Mill , mostly small fish including rock bass , the odd small pike or smallie ....nothing of any size .....

My girlfriend was having a blast because we've been having such a hard time catching bass and...sure they were small..like 6" or so...but she was reeling them in seems every 2 or 3 casts..a lot of the time shed get hits and miss...I put a tiny spoon on and got a big rock bass...then it got dark and left because we couldn't see. Sure they were tiny..but was really fun just tossing a line in and boom hit after hit...I guess no one really fishes there as they don't see the point..they haven't seen lures before and they hit just about anything you move by their face Also the rockbass I caught had a big chunk bitten off the top of it..healed over for a while now..told my GF probably a small pike...but..I can't wrap my head around how it would have gotten in there...also the rock bass was decent size I'd imagine a few years old.. the water there is shallow I thought to myself that wouldn't it just freeze over and kill all the fish in there..I dunno.. would be nice to find a place like that with big fish.. and caught this one this morning at Marlatts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalleyeChaser Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 The ponds on the other side of the road are loaded with fish. Smallies . Largies.pike.musky perch crappie and carp. When I was younger and didn't care for the law i did not trespass over there and I did not catch any of the above fish. ?...........there are some real hogs over there...........I mean there isn't...... I did ice fish it once and killed the perch and had a nice musky too but the police showed up and I was escorted off.... No ticket tho I got lucky..... Young and dumb.... Now I got kids and it's just not worth it......... However it totally was back than lol . That water comes from Gibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 They drain the pond at the morningstar mill for winter so they flush those fish into the 12. If you find anything of size enjoy but it will mostly be small fish that find their way into the pond. I have seen snot rockets (8 inch pike) but in that small pond only a few would be allowed to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 The stream feeding the mill originates from L.Erie - canal -Gibson - Moodie-12Mile -Martindale -L.Ont . It is used for a bypass to keep the reservoir at a constant level which feeds the water works commission adjacent to the Mill pond . ... here's some stuff about the mill pond that was in the Standard last year . ...It was bone dry as they were working on the berm above the old dilapidated water slide , which has rotted away..... http://www.niagarafishing.net/forums/index.php?/topic/32498-decew-falls-dry/#comment-259987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaedwulfFisher Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Oh..my..god.. what a DAY. Foul hooked a small bass in the eye. Had a pike follow at lake gibson by decew/merritville..and a big largemouth...both followed all the way but made a turn and didn't go for it ...and .......................lost a trophy sized rockbass. Yea a rock bass. Hooked him under the bridge at decew that goes into lake moodie. Lost my doo-doo when he jumped out of the water and tossed the hook. Something like "OH MY GOD I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY GOT THAT BIG" The video does NOT do it justice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
