I hope everyone his hyped up for the opener . For the first time this year I will be fishing the Notty on opener on some private property thanks to a co worker. Hopefully the fishing Gods are on our side this year and the weather co operates.

Lucky. Pretty pumped myself. Writing my last exam the day before opener. Going to do a ton of Huron trib steelhead fishing for the first few weeks, then move into some Browns in another location later on.

Not looking forward at all. Too much headache with all the zoo.
And takes no skill to catch the fish sitting on the beds.

Just have to be in the right frame of mind.Used to be excited about it, now it reminds me of a zoo
Yea it's busy. Lots of once a year trout fisherman. But I love to see the faces and excitement on their first steel success.
I enjoy socializing and hearing how far they've traveled.
Lots of great people out there if you just take things alot less serious.
I have some great memories of alot of very comical incidents. And I'd love to relive how proud and excited I was catching my first rainbow. Priceless

I can't wait. I'm not into shoulder to shoulder fishing though so I'll be heading north to throw some dry flys and nymphs at my favourite brookie honey hole. Maybe some browns a little closer to home after I get my fill.

Excited only because I love fishing post spawn steela with intruders. Other than that I'm enjoying fishing now where the crowd is still somewhat thin. I've seen worst of the worst on the opener. From parking lot to the water....

Is it likely to have fish closer to the mouth this time of year or would they be more up river?

Both.
Mild winter so most likely fish have made their way up.
But.
Early arrivals also means early drop backs.

I've always wondered, can you chuck spoons off piers for them the way you do for salmon? Or do they strictly eat egg imitations?

Early spring off the piers can be very productive.
Casting cleos or whatever.
Mostly Jacks and shakers.
Juvenile salmon that is.
3-4 lbs most common and browns.
Small salmon are delicious.

I'm doing the same, hoping the Grand on the Monday won't be too crowded!

There are plans of an extended camp/road-trip brewing in my head. Once that starts happening its almost certain I'll be doing it haha.
Want to leave from Southwestern Ontario area, head up to Georgian Bay, and way up toward the Soo even to visit a buddy. Two weeks of relaxation time off from school. May as well.

Wondering if anyone knew if the FMZ 17 exceptions allow people to fish in Durham region South of the CNR all year for bows? It says that it does but I wanna be sure.
