Which fish can you catch and which size and colour to use when using little cleos.

From what I've read on here the 3/4 oz are good for salmon and trout this time of year. Will let you know tomorrow how I make out using these.

You can catch Salmon and Brown trout right now using cleos, fresh water drum will also hit cleos.

I would use either a 2/5 ounce or 3/4 ounce cleo. If the water is dirty, use brighter colours. If it's dark outside, use a glow in the dark cleo.

No, in the rivers most guys will generally float fish, fly fish or bottom bounce.

I am new to fishing and would like to know how to fish using little cleos. Do you leave them out or keep reeling them out and casting? For salmon should you use bobbers and sinkers?

Have you read the regulation book?

Not only does it show you what type of regulations are there for specific rivers but it also shows you what type of fish are in season/out of season. Meaning... it tells you what type of fish are in that part of the river.

Have a read at it, it's got good informations as to what type of fish are in rivers/lakes.

Migratory rainbow trout are steelhead.

All migratory trout and salmon in the credit river go up to the Norval Dam. Thats where they are stopped from going farther. With the exception of the atlantics (they`re allowed to go as far as they can).

Above the Norval Dam is the resident trout that don`t migrate.

Bellow the Norval Dam there are chinook salmon, coho salmon, pink salmon(rare), rainbow trout, brook trout(rare), brown trout and atlantic salmon.

Fishing bellow the 403 to the lake is open all year.

Hope this helps...

which months do they come?


Right now there's all of them according to CRAA. I'm kinda scared to say that name because the organization would not approve of the hotspots. Anyways goodluck.
