Welcome to the forum Grayson.

 

A 5wt is great for resident trout, smaller bass, panfish, etc. You wouldn't want to be fishing for pike, bigger bass, carp...definitely not migratory trout/salmon.

 

As for the older rod, I'll leave that to someone with more experience. Good luck!

Okuma raw2. Been using mine for 7 years. Runs great never cleaned or taken it apart.

 

I got mine used (not sure how long it was in use before) in 2015, and no issues so far.

The first looks like a juvenile smallmouth bass to me. The second looks like an adult logperch.

Nicely done! Beautiful colours on those specks.


In Topic: what rivers to fish?

Hi Danial:

 

Welcome to Ontario!

 

I hope you get to enjoy some of the great fishing here. Sounds from your post that you'll be in the Hamilton area or the GTA. Whiteman's Creek is completely closed up until late April like a lot of trout streams. Trout season is closed all winter here, but there are some rivers with extended seasons. The Credit River below the 403 will be one of your few options. The Niagara River is a great option this time of year (Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Lake Trout). There are also some options east of Toronto. Brook trout for the most part won't be available this time of year since any streams you can find them in are completely closed to fishing. If you stop by any fishing shop you should be able to get some up-to-date info on fishing opportunities around here. Conditions change daily with rain and snow and temperature (melting/runoff) and even with wind (Niagara) at this time of year.

 

Good luck and post pics if you get a chance!
