Any suggestion for fishing Caledon - onwind - 09-15-2014 01:28 PM

I will work on client's site which is located in Caledon. does anyone have any suggestion for fishing there? perhaps I can find a little time to try my luck there.

Does this help? http://www.creditvalleyca.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Fisheries-Brochure-Inside-Map.pdf

(Downloaded from the fishing page on the Credit Valley Conservation Authority website, http://www.creditvalleyca.ca/enjoy-the-outdoors/activities/fishing/ - other downloads available there)

Edit: Also, be sure to check the regs. To roughly summarize the exceptions, the Credit River and its tribs upstream of Old Baseline Road is C&R only for trout, single barbless hooks and artificial lures only, and no fishing allowed outside trout season.

tweedwolfscream,

thank you for you information. it seems a lot of spots are conservation areas. I'm wondering whether I should become TRCA member to fish in their conservation areas.
from the map
I would like to try this spot.
BRIMSTONE and FORKS OF THE CREDIT ROAD – These are the most accessible waters
in the Forks area for shorter fishing trips. Shoulder parking is limited and must be shared
with others visiting the area. This rocky run is especially valuable for those anglers wanting
to first sample and “match the hatch” insects, such as the famous Hendrickson mayfly
hatch of the Forks.

it seems like I can park my car here from the google map:

I've never heard of a TRCA membership, is that like an annual pass you can buy for conservation areas to avoid paying the entry fee each time?

Note that the map I linked is CVCA, not TRCA, though the eastern part of Caledon (Humber River and Etobicoke Creek tribs) does fall within TRCA jurisdiction. So if you were fishing conservation areas on both sides of the watershed boundary they'd be under different conservation authorities, plus some of these spots are provincial park, some public lands without an entry fee, etc.

oh, yes, it's CVCA,
while TRCA have the free access to Albion Hills, Boyd, Bruce's Mill, Glen Haffy, Heart Lake, Petticoat Creek which also look good for fishing.
