Next saturday is the trout opener! We've waited all winter for this! This is the only time that you get to step over sleeping anglers to land a fish. So, are the other opener daredevils going for resi's or steelhead? Upstream or dropbacks? Browns, brookies or bows? Get out there with elbow pads, knee pads, and a bullet proof vest if you're going for steel!

Going for anything i can find. Small, Medium or Large. At the mouth, middle or upstream. Goings on land and on water. Going floating, spinning, spooning and jigging.

I caught ONE stocked bow last year in my first time trying. I'm sure it's laughable to most of you experienced river anglers, but I'm looking forward to finding a quiet(ish) spot at a conservation pond and honing my skills a little more.  All the stories I read about busy opening weekends has me too nervous to get out there 'in the wild' lol.  Good luck to everyone and be safe!

Hopefully will be able to get a few resident brown and brook trout...will probably have to wait till after the weekend tho

Lol half the riverside stories are exaggerated.  I have encountered people who have forgot their manners and a few little punks who think they're tough, but in all, I've never had any real conflict.  I don't have a posse and I've survived each outing without getting gang beaten or ran off the river.

 

As long as you fish like you know what you're doing and sport a good attitude, you'll find that a busy river is a great place to do some social engineering and pick up some juicy tidbits of information and make friends.

most fisherman are lazy and will go to your typical parks and common holes. start where they are and wear your waders and just keep on walking up river till you find what your looking for.

I'll be hitting a stream near my place that's got steel. Scouted it a week ago and seen a few there in the pockets.

Same with me. Scouted a few spots over the past 2 weekends and I've seen them there.

 

Waiting patiently for next Saturday.

[NiagaraSteel]

[ChasinTails]

[fishing89]

So far so good...rain looks like a bust compared to what was forecasted. Let's hope it stays that way. At least it will rain for less amount of time, supposed to stop at midnight.

[BowSlayer]

hoping for clear waters tomm, heading out closer to the afternoon tomm just for a bit but sunday will be game time 

[Kit]

Rain is done. Nothing more on the radar. For what we got here will have very little to no affect on the rivers and creeks.

[fishing89]

Up in Richmond hill it was a lot, enough to mess up the rivers for a half day, east got some good rain too, but not as bad as I thought . should be nice tomorrow mid afternoon

[Kit]

Yeah we are not heading out till afternoon as well. I wish everyone good luck. And be safe.

[BowSlayer]

wow, looks like I'm not the only one heading out late, lol, it will be bright and early sunday though! 

[NaturehasIT]
