Guest cplummer Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 wondering if anyone here fishes for brook trout? i got this spot on the saugeen river i go camping at where the brookies are loaded .. we catch like 30 a day each (catch n release) all between 12"-- 18" this time of year is a great time to reflect on the past season just as the cold sets in .nothing like visions of speckies flying outta the water on your ultra lite gear with 2-4 lb test line using spinners or fly fishing for the challenge..i'm always looking for people to up there with cause seems not many people into speckies down here in niagara probably because theres only 2 spots around here that has them but they are small....

T.C. Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Perhaps we should share a ride up that way as i spend alot of time in Owen Sound and have a real sweet spot myself near wiarton. But you need a canoe to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 that's the type of fishing i enjoy most, but as you say there's onlya few spots around here to do so (haven't found them yet myself tho), but did a bit of brookie fishing when i was in Burks Falls a few years back.... very fun to do... and again, like you say, there's almost no one down here who's into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GrimsbyAl Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I spend several weeks a year fishing for them in Cape Breaton. Around the end of June is when they get the searun brookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Laketrout Cuthbertson Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I flyfish for them,or I should say used to when I lived in New Brunswick. i'd fish in the spring any cold water stream,or river esp. the mighty Main SouthWest Miramichi River produces very large BT&Seatrout.

They are so fun to catch with ultralight gear, like you said. Give me a holler next time you go up - I may be able to join you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ken Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I flyfish for brookies and also icefish for them at Daniel's Ark. Loads of fun on the fly gear, esp fishing dries! At Daniel's ark, if the brookies are schooling that day, they come in 5-6 fish a school and just rip your minnow apart! It's fun to watch them come in and attack as a group.

Stevek Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I grew up fishing for Brookies around Markdale. Lots of fun. Don't get out for them much anymore but have one spot close to hear that's good in the early season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steelheader Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Tommy - I've seen that water too, and it looks promising. Only problem is most creeks around here dry up to a trickle in summer, which raises the water temp, so I wonder if they would be able to sustain populations of brookies. The water below Decew Falls is awesome looking too, but when I was there this summer all I caught were chubs *gurgle* *squelch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Like I said.....chubs are cool....especially when they reach a foot long Will do Cliff....its more for curiousity than me actually going to fish there. 2087[/snapback] Urgh...I hate chubs. They make great bait though. I was at a stocked trout lake this summer with the family, nobody was catching anything, so I caught some chub off the dock and pitched him out there. Six trout later, it became evident that trout really like chub too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cplummer Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 i agree chubs suck but are great trout bait when they are small but as far as fishing for them? i got better things to do .. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will return in the spring, however I reccomend a good antiskeeter product as I got eaten alive and walked through what appeared to be poison ivy, didnt wind up itching though so all good in the end and it was an enjoyable hike.

Guest Steelheader Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Oh yeah, I caught a sunfish in one of those holes too, and I was like "WTF?" I'll give them credit...those creek sunfish hit with a jolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
