fall salmon fishing

[Muskyhunter1001]

so some salmon up at bronte but not enough to make it worth going yet, how is it bowmanville, wilmont , and port hope all have good runs yet nothing down here their only maybe 30 miles north of bronte , it doesn,t make sense the only good thing is bronte and the credit are open till the end of the year at least parts of them while the others close sept 30

Hey I'm pretty sure the season in 17 is open all year south of the CNR railway (most southern track) and Lake Ontario

The east end of Lake O has been outfishing the west all summer...ask the lure pullers. Various theories why...temperature, baitfish etc.

Try fishing a trout bead behind the salmon. You might just get the surprise of your day. I agree that it's a gong show out there with the salmon. I gave up using row of any kind over 20 years ago. Beads, pinkies, jigs and flies will catch trout better than roe on most days. I'd love to see a roe ban as bait in Ontario. It might stop the slit and dump idiots in the fall.

It's a lot more rewarding to tie up your own flies, jigs and to paint up your own beads and then catch a trout. Personally, I think roe is way over rated as a trout bait.

When I first started out backlashes were common for a while.... One big one that you can't get out and your going home with only 50-75 yrds. You'll never need 200-300 yrds, but its always nice to have the extra just incase. 200 atleast anyway. IMO

check the regs I believe it is illegal tohave in your possession roe without the fish

Bring on the cold that will solve some of the problem.

I'm sure I'm gonna get dumped on for this but, I've yet to see the day running beads out fishes spawn. I fish an unhealthy amount, and steelhead are my ultra favorite, I run everything in the arsenal on any given day and although there have been days where spawn was waaaay off the menu, beads were nowhere near the magic ticket. I've seen many days where flies, flatties or pinkies, were blowing everything out of the water but beads, nope. Don't get me wrong, they work, and I've done decently on them on occasion, but the hands down replacement for the real deal? I think not.
That said some people take far to many females then they possibly need, and based on the amount of chumming I've seen in the last few years, I figure that's why. Chumming ticks me off just for that reason alone, plus I see people tying bags that are almost always to big for any given water condition. I can easily make 2 fish last an entire year. Freeze in small batches, tie smaller bags.
