Nottawasaga River Salmon Run ...

to a certain extent yes- baitfish= shinnies common sense, but consistency is the key

to a point before- a 10lb bass vs a salmon- salmon every day, bass is fun on light tackle but that same talk would be smashed by a 15lb+ shinny or bow, you dont have to avoid rocks, trees other anglers, wade into the river maybe get soaked but thats the fun part of the catch is trying to land a fish in the most uncomfortable place without a net- ive hooked lots of huge fish both riggin and river and still by far is the river... go catch a wild steelhead and see how you get on

I totally agree. I have caught many trout and salmon on my 13ft noodle rod and float reel as well as my 10 ft with spinning reel and multiple flyrod combos in most tribs in Ontario as well as a few in the states and out west. Although I love to pitch a jig or throw a top water for bass in the summer, my true passion is trib fishing. Like you said i'd rather catch fresh bows on 6lb test with a 3lb leader than bass on 60lb braid any day of the week.

Hey Guys,

Fished the pine river on monday. Many nice size salmon and lots of trout. Landed a pretty good size one, but was having trouble getting them to bit. Any tips on lures that work best for salmon being picky?

Been down there at the Pine this week... Caught 9lb Salmon and saw quite a few trout. I would wait for the rain coming in on Monday and fish Tuesday till the end of the week should be good fishing. Heading down there again probably everyday until the season ends.

The trout in the pine were lots of rainbow, which were hitting on flies. I will try rapala the next time i go thanks.
