Fish-on. Sorry to here about yur tackle, I had the same thing happen to me, but out of my own stupidity. Packed my van an forgot it on the side on the ground, backed up an drove just past it. Got to the other side of the pier an I see the darn thing sitting there. Lol. Go back to the other side an it was gone. I was so pissed.

Well I hope someone sees this thread an you get yur stuff back.

Anyways I wanted to say that I was there in Port Hope Saturday an I seen about five caught an know about more. I lost two, didn't have the hook set good enough. I'm now 0/11. Worst it has ever been for me. Maybe better this weekend.

ouch i feel u man but don't give up fishin u can only learn from this experience and u wont make that same mistake again :wink:

Atleast you didn't get caught by a C.O. because that could've cost you even more money. You should really take a look at the regulations to every body of water you are fishing. Just Sayin'. Im not trying to be a prick or anything. My cousin and I went into port hope to fish on sunday and saw a few guys fishing well past the CNRail Bridge where the cut off is after Sept. 30th We gave them a stern warning instead of calling the MNR they packed it up and left because they simply didn't know any better.

thats exacly what i did!!! when he told me that i was like darn i gota go back and tell the boys to get the hell outa here haha yea definitly gonna take a closer look at that... now i dont want to be one of those enoying people but where can i find info on steelhead when and where they run, where am i allowed to fish for them and when?? iv never had the chance to catch some and would defenitly like to....

Back in 2009 I remember these dudes fishing just above the CNR a day before trout opener. They would get warnings from people passing by, but they would ignore and keep fishing. Until the CO's actually came of course :wink: They said they were from Ottawa, but it didn't end too well. Don't know how much equipment they got taken away..

yeah well unlike other idiots i listen to people lol and this time it payed off cuz man yeah im pissed cuz i lost my box but man they could of tooken allot more stuff like my rods and well a hefty fine of cours... i guess karma decided to be somewhat lenient with me haha besides i never keep fish .. as funny as it is im alergic to it .. cant even have a nice tasty fork of it before i start puking my face off and feeling like shiet... besides nothing better then seeing a nice fish swim away knowing you gave it a chance to live that much longer hehe either way yeah i drove 8 hours to fish for a couple hours and to loose my gear but man they put up a real fight! first time i go for salmon man you should of seen my face when i got my first fish on was so surprised! lol kid in a candy store hehe

 

[Frankyfish]

That feeling rocks! :wink: I've seen adults with that look sometimes after hooking their first fish the night before. Needless to say it's then a lifetime pursuit :grin:

yeah hopefully ill find enough info on stealhead to gather up the wits to go back and trye to fish for those i herd they fight even more then chinook....

 

[Thangza]

Just go back to sylvan in the spring time.. its infact a zoo there when all the animals come out from hibernation LoL Best bet to go a week after the spring opener to avoid large crowds. But most rivers are closed from the CNRail or Highway 401 til then... just read the regulations and you will get a good idea of what rivers will have trout in them.

 

[Garfield the cat]

Anyone fishing in the morning?

 

[Float_On]

Yup, not at Port Hope though :wink: L2P said he wanted to hook up, but no reply lol.

He probobly meant he wanted to hook-up with some steelies!

 

[Garfield the cat]

Gonna try my luck tonite after work, hoping to get my first steelie of the fall.....

 

[Garfield the cat]

Port Hope was slow. Few caught but most was really small ones. Seen one big one landed. But still not luck for me

Why is the water so low? I was there today and was quite dissapointed stayed for about an hour, casted some little cleos and some other stuff into the lake while my brother played with some roe. So we went to a secret place and got few resident bows, saw a couple nice ones very spookey, o well still early!
