Forks of the Credit in May

[badboi]

Hi all,

I will be heading up to Erin Ontario this weekend.... so I may try to fish the Forks of the Credit fly fishing

I have never fished ontario and just got some of my stuff shipped.....
any advice for my first trip would be awesome....

Is there a good place for the regs in that area?
Flies and size to use there?
Do I need waders?


thanks alot!
Pm me if you like

hello and welcom to the forum!

just out of curiosity, did you just move to ontario?

i've never fished the credit river before, but considering the water temp, unless you plan to fish from shore or boat, you'll definately need waders

short but nice driving road aswell.

Is the Forks of The Credit the closest place to the GTA to fish for Brook Trout?

Upper humber, I've caught brook trout, north of Bolton. Credit is fly fishing only that section. Or no live bait single barbless hook.

They sure did!

To be honest if you have a licence you have the right to keep your fish. I hit over 40 brookies in the same hole 2 day's in a row and kept two, could have kept 5. The other 38 + realeased and survived. This secret honey hole is fished by only 2 people. My Dad and myself, so we make sure there is always fish in there for the future.

LOL Don't worry Blair, as long as you don't keep any fish I will show you the spot, we will go soon some time end of April, beginning of may and also mid- late september, and of course you can keep what you catch. But I know you Blair, you wouldn't keep any.

r u sure

Since you can't use live bait, what do you guys use besides flies?

If you don't want to fish the humber that's cool, less people , more fish for me :grin:

Humber has no restrictions as to bait, just the upper credit. Not sure what they use in the upper credit have not gotten into fly fishing yet. For the humber the usual works, spinners, dew worms, chubs, crayfish.

Lets do a tour sometime Fisher12.

I can fish it, it's just that when I googled it no results came up, but the forks of the credit has information and I don't really know the exact area to fish the Humber.
Well thanks anyways.

I wasnt refering to you fisher12, I was refering to Jordan's comment about no fish in the humber. As I said I would be happy to show you some easy accessible spots on the humber, what area are you intersted in?

You Paid? Just go along the forks of the credit road and there are tons of free places with public access. I lived in belfountain for a while so did some hikes there. Also just at Ken whillans on the way.
