SECTION THE HERALD May Ontario Outdoors Blue Fin relayers swim to silver Trout opener just perfect A perfect trout season opener coal but not cold There were excellent catches In some areas and some large trout came to the net Streams were at ideal levels clear water conditions The Credit River was perfect with rain at noon provide rising water conditions This gets the fish biting I talked to BRIAN a young teenager with a nice brown trout in Ihc Credit near Glen Williams The ponds Terra Cotta conservation area were not stocked but I did not get the word until last week column had gone lo press Terra Cotta and Bclfounlain were stocked earlier this week tor at least they were supposed to be Pond fishing should Improve after this past weekend good rains New water will flush a pond and get things moving again I noticed several fishermen using he wrong gear for trout Some I had the chance to work with such as the young lad to whom I gave the correct type of lure Right off he caught a nice Rainbow trout on It One major fault was the use of leaders while fishing for trout Pike and muskjes are the only fish that can bite through your line so leaders are not necessary for trout fishing and In fact will stop trout from blllng or hitting a lure Large hooka are also not needed and this column has recommended the use of size for trout on numerous occasions Sinkers if used should be at least 12 Inches from the hook and many 1 saw were smack on top of it Horror of horrors many fishermen not have enough line on the reel There Is a distinctive sound or a caster with not enough line Frustration is high and the reel SOUNDS like it is working too hard Fill your reel to one eighth of an inch from the lip of the spool This Is not absolute but near enough get you started This is one of the reasons I hold shows and open houses at such places as Canadian Tire Use lop line such as TRIUNE and replace it often A TROPHY WON The trophy provided by Ihls writer and Fred Live Bait in
