Sounds like a fun trip Ronin. Trolling in-line spinners and small stickbaits should work well, like the others mentioned. If you come across small creeks in between the lakes, casting in-line spinners across current should work well for smaller specs. The larger specs will be in the lakes cruising a...

I fished Muskrat for a couple of weeks a few years ago in the summer and loved it. There are tons of pike in that lake, and some big ones too. I did try for lakers for an hour or two in the middle of the day but came up empty in the summer heat. Most of my time was spent for bass, musky and pike. I ...

I have just spoken to Chris Brousseau of the OMNR today, and I have great news. The steelhead daily catch limits are currently under review for a reduction to a 2 fish limit on Lake Ontario and the tributaries that flow into Lake Ontario. There will soon be a time when the public may voice their con...

You should all read this from the MNR. They know there has been a serious decline of steelhead, it's in this report.

Hi Markus, I respect your opinion. I do have a difference of opinion. These are my thoughts... I do believe that most of the steelhead that are released in the open waters of Lake Ontario do live, unlike Chinook salmon. Here are my reasons for this belief: steelhead are not located in the cold deep ...

I would like to thank all of you for offering your feedback. I knew that this issue would be controversial and may get a heated discussion, but I believe that the issue is very important and should be discussed. I do not intend to place blame on any party, as I do not feel it is anyone’s fault. I ...

Declining Steelhead - Ontario

What does everyone think about the catch limits on Lake Ontario and the tributaries feeding Lake Ontario for steelhead and brown trout? I have personally seen a huge decline in steelhead in the local tribs like Bronte Creek over the past 10 years. I remember when the fishing was great on Bronte and ...

I do one of two things with loose roe I get. The first one, I freeze some of the eggs fresh in small ziplocks with just enough eggs for one outing (no river cure). Second thing I do with the rest of the roe, is cure them. Check out the link for a loose egg cure that works very well. The eggs will ke...

That's always good to hear that they will have a little more patrols. I don't think that it will make much difference though. It doesn't take long to "smash & grab". That is what the Queenston theives are doing. They threw a rock through my clients window and grabbed what they thought ...

The X-Raps are a great bait. They work very well for smallmouth, largemouth and pike jerked back to the boat. One of my favourite colours is the black and gold... I have a very beat up one from the smallies on Lake Erie :)

More Queenston Thefts-Niagara River

We had a great day on the Niagara River today, only to come back to the launch ramp and find my clients brand new SUV with a window smashed out and their stuff stolen. The thefts have been very bad the past year with windows smashed out in the upper parking lot. If you plan on fishing Queenston, I w...
