New to the Forum

[Mr.Fishington]

Hey there everyone

I am new to the Forum but have been fishing my whole life. I begain fishing with my dad around the age of 4 and have continued ever since I am now 26 and still have strong passion for all types of fishing. Most of my experiance is in bass fishing but I have also ice fished good potions of the winters away. I wanted to join a forum to see what its like as well as get infromation on other tyoes of fishing. I fish for trout and salmon every year with scattered success but lack a real understanding of whats involved and correct times I usually just hope for the best and pay attention to water levels. I would love to learn how to fish for smelt as well.

Anyway I am looking forward to this years Trout and Salmon runs and will be going out early september onward into the colder mouths to try to get a better understanding of when the fish move. I am slightly confuced on what rivers and fishing spots are in which Tributaries as it states that mentioning exact locations is not permitted. can anyone give a basic break down of what rivers are in what tribuaries?

Welcome! Most salmon wont run till mid till end of September in S.O sometimes earlier if the weather stays cool.

Hey thanks for the welcoming I hope to give good contributions where I can.

And ya I am assuming I will not have a whole lot of luck fishing for Salmon until later in september but I was reading a different discussion thread and someone (I cant remember their name) mentioned two big hits on a cleo in late august, so on the nights I dont have to much going on I might as well, the river mouths I am thinking of are only about 15 mins from my house.

As for smelt fishing I have always been intrigued by the idea I just unsure idea on timing I know april is usually the time of year in and around the hamilton area but is there a fall seson as well?. Smelt are known to be on the move on well lit full moon nights and are attracted to light. Fishing involves a dip net, a light source and patience.

On a different note I already have an itch to icefish as I now have a bran new Helly hansen survival suit begging to see some cold weather.

Welcome to the forum. With a detailed intro like that, there is no need for me to ask my usual questions. You'll fit right in.
