Grenadier pond...high park??

David Kearney · Jun 9, 2008

Has anyone been to Grenadier pond lately?? Is there anything worth fishing there for, or is it just for kids, small panfish and such?? I wanna go, it`s 1 streetcar ride for me...but was curious if anyone has been? I havent fished there since I was 7 or 8, with my dad.I am now 38 sooo thats been awhile.

panfish and carp for now

odd pike and bass... they are the predators of that pond.
too many people fish and take these fish, which have caused the park to put up signs stating to NOT take pike and bass.

it would be nice if people actually obeyed those signs. we would have amazing fishing at that beautiful park.

Why the hell would you want to keep anything from that body of water beats me the pond is not the cleanest!!!

some people just don't know...

There is also Tilapia in Grenadier Pond, some aisians randomly realesed some into that water. It is definetly not native to that pond. Also, the panfish have been spoiled by people using shrimp as bait. Worms and bread work only a little bit you can catch a few panfish, with shrimp you can catch dozens.

Does little buggers (panfish) should just shut it and swallow whatever we feed'em !

I thought Tilapia was a tropical species hence it would not be able to survive our Canadian winters :twisted:

I was under the same impression.

I heard the same story - about talapia (tilapia) being released in Grenadier pond by some people. In addition to what other posters mentioned -there is also yellow perch in this pond as well as brown bullhead, few crappies, some white perch,

i'm sure tilapia would not make it past our harsh winters.

I go to grenadier pond every single week. So far the species i've caught and see swimming around are Bass, sunfishes, perch, black crappie, bullheads.

Since you go there every week, do you think it's overfished?

Anatzz · May 27, 2010

I do think it's over fished. http://www.grenadierpond.com, I'll be updating the site real soon. This year, they restocked the pond with bass and pike. I've seen more crappie present in the past 2 years.

I've seen some guy take 50 sunfish from there. Pretty funny.
