#340288 Legal fishing spots in Bowmanville Creek

Posted by trouttamer on 17 May 2017 - 05:02 AM

giving locations is frowned upon this forum and most others.

the entire river opened on april 22nd as did all rivers in zone 17.

your best bet is to park and go for a walk, use google maps

you need to do the legwork, no one is going to tell you there spots

use roe worms or flies

respect private property, gl

#339044 Roe Boycott

Posted by trouttamer on 12 March 2017 - 05:59 AM

Was keeping quiet but wanna chime in now. Tossing I really could care less on your opinion as your an idiot, everyone has theyre own ethics. You ask the guy to back up up his comments so he does and you call him an idiot. Just because someone doesn't support your beliefs doesn't deem this. youre the same guy that doesn't believe in fluorocarbon, uses 6lb main for salmon and tires fresh steel to death. you claim floatfisherman use heavy yellow braid along with many other laughable comments and stands you take. a conversation only goes one way with you , youre way, you don't consider other point of views.

I also have 40yrs on the river but I don't claim to be a know it all, I am always learning if others want to do differently then me, go ahead. I contribute to stream rehabilition with craa and Ontario steelheaders and I use roe when needed, any half decent steelheader knows this. Moron

Best bite has been first light and 2pm to dark. yesterday river was unfishable in morning  due to heavy slush but cleared up by noon. have been doing a lot of spot hoping on river aswell looking for active fish

if they put even 5% of the cash theyd dropped on atlantics into steelhead wed have a great fishery and wouldn't be saying where are the fish. once atlantics start being stocked in the ganny steelhead will be forgotten about. It seems they only want to drop money on atlantics and lakers because they are native to the great lakes, steelhead, browns  coho Chinook and pink are all introduced species so no one seems to care about them anymore. all you have to do is look at the US steelhead where they stock heavily have great returns and can support a put and take fishery. The amount of fisherman taking fish for meat and eggs is massive compared to the 80s and 90s where they was less pressure and more fish.

If you support the atlantic program you need to give your head a shake and look deeper into what is really happening to our fragile fishery.

#332095 Raven float system

Posted by trouttamer on 06 April 2016 - 04:41 PM

myspacedave your shots down near the leader should be in the .3 to .4 gram range, 1.3gram is ok directly under the float but as you space them out they should decrease in weight.. For a 7 gram float I would put 3 1.3 gram shot directly under your float 3.9g and then space out 7 .4 gram , 2.8g, shot down your line to a micro swivel and the a fluorocarbon leader to hook, most don't shot the leader although some instances may call for some very small dust shot on leader.. 3.9g + 2.8g = 6.7g plus weight of your bait, .1 to .3g =7grams. Leader should be 16 to 24inches, faster water shorter leader, clear slow water longer leader
