[Fishing Urban Ontario]

Hi. I am trying to research a spot as always but I have no zero experiences for this creek, so I am asking this forum as a last ditch effort. There is a small creek behind Brantwood farms called Jones Creek which is part of the Fairchild Creek watershed. According to the GRCA there is a population of brownies there. I am planning to target brownies there next year a lot because this spot would be convenient for me due to my travels. Has anyone ever fished there? How was it? is the creek accessible or is the bush blocking all casting spots? Could I walk in the creek? Let me jog your memory of how to get there there's a road/trail past the store which takes you last the home and then the fields which leads to the woods at the back of the property where the trout are. Have just caught my first brown a few weeks ago as a surprise so it will be fun to target them on purpose next year. I know this is early but I am so hyped! Any actual help you could give would be great.

The my first trout I caught was at a different creek.

Farmers like kindness and bottles of wine, start knocking on doors. That’s my advice.

@Fishfreek, is the bottles of wine for the farmers, or for you and their daughters?

Who ever opens the door LOL. It could be the mother hahaha.

[TheTallOutdoorsman]

Lol, in that case I hope its the father!

Are you walking down the path on brantwood farms land? I know there is a pond back in the forest area but they definitely don’t want you back there. We use to toboggan down those hills when I was young till a kid killed himself running off into the bush while going down the hill. Fairchild creek is always mud so I’m not sure about the creeks running into it. I’d assume the creek is low and piss warm with no browns but I could be wrong.

Hmm, so far, does seem open to the public. I have friends who walk their dogs on those trails all the time. Unless I am asked too go I think I will keep exploring it. I walked by some farmer dudes not too long ago and they didn't seem to care a bit, so unfortunately nobody's getting any wine . I went to check out the creek and it looks healthy and clean. It's about 12" deep in most areas with plenty of shade and logs. I saw some huge 9" creek chub there. When the creek chub get huge does that mean there is not a lot of trout? The creek is kind jammed up with branches in some areas, would that prevent the trout from swimming throughout thr creek.

Yeah the farmers are so happy you’re stomping all over their grounds. Don’t be surprised you have lots of company up there fishing with you next time around. Happy trails to you.

Does that mean I will be receiving the bottle of wine?

Does that mean I will be receiving the bottle of wine?  Sure , what ever makes you happy bud.

[Fishing Urban Ontario]

Yep totally it's totally coming. I don't mind the company, with a spot like this I wouldn't mind a little company. I want to know more about the creek and some more fishing there is a good way to do it. I don't know it's going to get overfished because it's a 35 minute walk to the creek and you can only access a kilometre or two of it.

Great! Ill meet you there tomorrow at 6pm? Lol

[fishfreek]

35 minute walk? that's a lot of walking for a fish. I'll stick to sewer fishing, park roll window down and fish.
