I heard it's really good in some spots and lots of regs on it, barbless hooks only in some spots. Then there are alot of land owners who hate anglers.......etc etc. It turned me off. I'd give it a try once atleast.

I got one of those one man inflatables, similar to Smackum. That's what I use for calm waters and small lakes.

Cool that'd be awesome. Come opener we can try your flies out.......

I'm in the process of setting up my tying bench and basement now. Hope to post my progress soon.

The grand river is one of the biggest fly fishing rivers in the world! You can fly fish from cayuga (lower grand) all the way into the tail water in fergus and elora for browns.

Some people say that, but it's completely untrue. There is over 100 parks and conservations areas. There is TOO MANY choices of where to fish, once you know them :blink:


Also, the barbless hook spots aren't that common. The grand river tailwater was barbless hooks and no natural baits because it's one of the best residential brown trout fisheries in the world.. Beautiful cold water. In the exceptional waters area in Paris, the same regs apply, but once again, it's a world class smallie fishery.

If you're on the fly, there's no worry about the regs, just flatten your barb.

I fish the upper grand from Bellwood down to just past elora though what is mostly the single barbless no live bait great water I lost a huge brown in there this past summer on a 3 wt but be warned the water does it get hot in the middle to end of summer so that's when you start night fishing And the hatches are really good at times I remember one say last year during the brown drake hatch there must have been 10,000 of them flying around the pool I was fishing

No headlamp makes it more fun I can't wait for April although the best time to start fishing the grand is mid may and they stock it in early may

Yep. The waters does turn into 'cool' water during the depths of summer. I beleive this problem started because of a dam that was built (i can't remember where it is). Sometimes in whiteman's the water will be black with insects lol.
