when the totem pole faces west and the moon is waxing gibberish and the wind is blowing at 45 degrees into the river mouth at 17.3 mph the fish will run between 8:17am and 10:52am

:D

Or, when there was an amount of precipitation sufficient to raise the water levels enough to trigger a run. Not that complicated.

You watch the totem poles, I'll keep an eye on the weather forecast! :lol:

Yup.

There was a couple big runs yesterday.

One river mouth was STACKED to the nines.


We're talking about the Credit River here.

I can tell you based on that chart that there was no run there yesterday.

You can keep thinking that.

Keep telling everyone here that too. Less people on the river banks to deal with.

A sizable run DID go up yesterday. They didn't stop to say hello anywhere.

That's why I love working right by the Credit. I can go over on my lunch and check stuff out.

Interesting.

Nothing was caught at the mouth of the Credit River (Saddington Park) or anywhere up to the train bridge yesterday between 2:30PM and 8:30PM. One fish on at around 3:00 PM (lost) and one more at 8:00PM (lost). Dozens of fishermen over the course of the day and early evening and a total of 2 fish on. Fishing boats were about 1/2 KM to a KM out.

I have no info on the overnight fish.

I was there from 5:30ish until about an hour after the hurricane came out nowhere.

The action picked up considerably after the wind shifted to the North. It got really cold and windy, but they started jumping.

Everyone bailed from the rocks from the ominous winds and clouds. lol.

Another close by pier was on fire until 4am :)

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

But I'm not sure if that was due to flow or the north wind... If it was due to flow, I would have expected to see action earlier... Just my observation.

Ive seen the "phenomenon" happen quite often, openfire theres no argument that fish will push 100 % of the time when the waters up.

Prior to that first "push" there wasnt any substantial rains and yet I was able to locate a good amount of fresh"er" fish on the third week of July.

How they got there? no one will ever know...

Well I guess we are in agreement then. :)

The problem with the "phenomenon" that you're talking about is that you never know when it will happen... Unless you work or live near your favourite river, it can get costly in gas $ to get out everyday to check things out.

Oh how I miss living at Port Credit. :(

I'm quite a weather nerd/watcher myself...computer models are coming into good agreement on what ever remains of Hurricane Isaac comin thru the lower lakes Sun/Mon...there is a relationship to the moon cycle for fish pushin on less than ideal conditions...that's all I've got to say about that...
