tmate Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well today i heard a story that a year or so ago a guy i go to school with caught a nice rainbow trout out of the water near the holland road wier(basically gibson). I thought the water was to shallow for these fish in the summer but thought it was worth asking to see what everyone says..In the summer i also remember a guy telling me he caught a rainbow in there earlier in the day. So now that i have to stories im starting to think they might be in there...well thanks to who ever replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little cleo Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I don't know.. I would believe it when I see it. I've heard these stories too but until I land a beaut there myself or see a verified, untampered photo with that nasty water gushing in the background, I'm a skeptic. And yes, I have been fishing there this fall.. Maybe 20 angler hours in total. Been using a silver j13 most of the time.. nothing. I have seen a number of perch caught there in the calm water on the north side. But then you see that trout scottydog got out of a ditch and you don't know what to think. tight lines cleo out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IBC Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 that system has a connection to the welland canal I believe. as well trout are supposedly caught below decew falls. hell i spoke with a guy who was targeting them above decew, we exchanged some info, i was in search of muskie. For the size of that area, there should be lots of room, without looking at a map that has the water depths it is hard to say for sure if the habitat would be prime ... but thereare always a few fish that can survive as exceptions to the rules. Google maps of beaverdams if you scroll around the map you can see it connects to the canal and is a fairly large water body so there should be many spots with a solid depth to give the trout a cooler water temp in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrownBomber Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I've heard lots of rumors of Lake Gibson (including walleye and whitefish being in there) but this one is new. Whether its true or not, gotta love the variety in Gibson...bass, musky, pike...you name it and its in there. BTW, was at the Beaverdams ponds today and the right pond's water level was soooo low.

So now that i have to stories im starting to think they might be in there...well thanks to who ever replies we used to get alot of rainbows years back in that fast water..never anything big but could always get a few a day in the 12" range...since most of that water is slow they hang out in the faster colder moving water.. it's a summer hang out for rainbows there.. it started really slowing down in the mid 80's and i haven't targeted them since... cliff...

Guest vidarling Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I guess if they are in Erie, they should be in Gibson. There are no barriers. http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rtgibnh2.jpg This was from there about 1 month ago. Cheers! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bones Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I recall a buddy of mine catching a Brown ( 8-10 #'s) at the weir about 15+ years ago. So you never know. At the time I had my doubts until I saw the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BrownBomber Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 if you asking about the google maps link ... no. google maps is from 2003 i think. I wasn't refering to the map IBC. I'd say at least 50% of the pond's bottom was exposed when I was there yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
