All,
I live in the Burlington area and I'm looking for some spots to go hook some rainbows. I'm fairly new to the region, and overall a new angler (at least on my own) so I really have no idea where to go to. If anyone has any spots where I may have some luck which they are willing to devulge to me I am all ears. I would prefer smaller creeks and rivers as I don't have a boat yet. I'm itching to reel in my first catch of the year so any help on this subject is much appreciated.

Lots of creeks east of you, check them out on a map. There is the Niagara west of you. This forum has TONNES of information and if you look toward the top rght corner you will see a search feature, very handy.
My tip, read online and get out there. Talk with anglers, you can memorize techniques and tips all you want, best thing to do is to put in hours on the creeks.

Make sure you check the regulations on whats open. Would hate for you to get a ticket on your first trip out.

Like previously mentioned, do work! Talk to guys, study waters, take notes, look for holding areas, match the hatch, learn how to set up properly. My advice is keep your eyes open at all times. If a guy beside you is smashing them and you're getting nothing, ask him what he's doing, and if he is reluctant, study his set up. Keep reading these forums, you'll learn more by reading in-between the lines then all the bickering. Lol.
Also, try hooking up with some of the legends on this site, chase chrome, notta steeler, liscensetopin are just a few, these guys seem to do better then most, and are all decent dudes. Even if you meet someone on the river and get to know them well enough, ask them if you can tag along for the day.
You're going to run into guys who won't like you, and guys who will tell you all there secrets. Take it all with a grain of salt, you'll find your way!

There's good steelhead fishing close to Burlington - Bronte Creek and Credit River to the east of you. The Bronte does not open until the end of April but the Credit has a large fishable section open all year. South of Burlington along the lakeshore and the mouth of 20 mile creek have rainbows. The Niagara River at the Gorge or the Queenstown boat launch are good fishing spots. West of you the Grand River has many species of fish including bows, walleye, pike, bass....
