I knew the Bronte was dirty, but...

[FishingNoob]

Found this on the internet... Never would have guessed that a bird would make a floating nest.

LOL that's hillarious. Bronte is dirty, but at least it doesn't have shopping cart snags everywhere and dirty needles disposed of on the river bank.

 

[FishingNoob]

Glad you like it. Never been to the river, just from what I hear...

That's a nice rig right there. That bird is living the high life.

some of those carts produce fish tho!!!

 

[BackwoodsBassr]

Hahaha that's great!

I wonder if this was made on purpose by some conservationists? On my lake we make floating nests for loons because they like to have a little island for themselves...like to think we make it a bit nicer than this tho haha,

Nice looking bird! Looks like they have learned to adapt. It's still a shame how dirty most areas can be.

My grandparents used to live close to Bronte creek. Always looked pretty dirty to me. So dirty I never thought to fish it.

That nest is pretty cool though

I don't think it made by conservationists, as I found it on a top ten site...

It's awesome that you make floating nests. Wonder how many birds he/she had to fight off to claim that tire?

Ya it is the Bronte from what I've learned. I think it is a crane or a bird like that.

bronte is not really dirty... i've been fishing it and swimming and canoeing the creek for decades... there is some farm runoff, as with most creeks draining into lake ontario, but all in all i find it one of the cleaner creeks in the area. great ultralighting for smallmouth, rockies, catfish, carp and the occasional pike. i've even caught a gar there.

salmon season almost destroys the creek every year and it's getting worse. any given day in the late fall, you can walk up the creek and see what the night poachers have left. throw in the trash from the six inch apart daytimers, and you have my own private hell.

but outside of salmon season, it's beautiful...

kingfishers keep flying ahead of your canoe. herons. owls. an occasional osprey. cranes. swans... (aggressive swans) morgansers, blackbirds, chickadees, jays, swallows. deer, foxes and coyotes. it's got fields, cliffs, wetlands, grottos and forests surrounding it.

one of the most enjoyable 45 minute canoe routes around... unfortunately, in the summer you bottom out around the q. e. w....

i'll post some pics as soon as i can figure out how to do so...
