Hot Weather Fishing - kevan - 06-10-2012 01:55 AM
Hey guys, haven't fished in 2 weeks due to a busy schedule/uncooperative weather. But it looks like it'll be 30degrees and sunny tomorrow (feels like 36 according to theweathernetwork). I'm wondering if it's even worth baking in the sun for a possible bite. I imagine fishes aren't as active during the hot summer days. But, I don't exactly want to stay indoors all summer either...

Well, they still need to eat. Early mornings and late evenings.

It's always worth goin' fishin'............... it's a long winter.
Bettercallsaul has good advice for when the dog days come.

I'm heading to a conservation area with the fam today for a picnic. Hopefully I will get a chance to drop a line in and enjoy the sunshine and heat. I will keep you posted as to howI do.

How'd it go?
A fascinating point I heard recently is that, during hot days, the fish will "concentrate" under docks/boats/trees. In theory, this could be used to your advantage since you know the fish will be "concentrated" under structure.
In theory.

Sunday afternoon was fun. Went to Glen Haffy conservation with my fiance and daughter. Its in Caledon, about an hour from the GTA. This conservation area has 2 small ponds that are appearantly stocked with lil rainbow trout. I was there for about 3 hours, 1 of those was dedicated to fishing the other 2 were for a picnic and hike. I was casting a size 3 spinner. I had 3 hits, 2 of which were hooked for maybe 5 seconds each. I think I need to invest in a hook sharpener!!!! It was a little frustrating to see young children landing more fish than me.
There was a lot of fishing pressure throughout the ponds, most people fishing bait under a float. The action was pretty steady the entire day. Its a great place to take the kids if you want them to catch a rainbow. Most fish that I saw pulled out of the water were about a pound or 2.
Overall a good afternoon of sun and fun! I wouldn't say its a great fishing spot, but its fun for the kids.

Good stuff!
Dull hooks may have been the problem, but next time this happens perhaps try stepping the lure size down a few notches for small trout or panfish.
What colour was the spinner blade?
RE: Hot Weather Fishing - wknd outdoorsman - 06-13-2012 10:59 PM
I tried three different colours. White blade, a gold blade and a silver blade. The white blade worked best.

Quite probably the only 3 colors that an angler ever needs.

I had been there last summer, very quite and no too much action at all. However, I saw a guy pulling out a 4 pounder with a jig in still fishing. He said he had been there for 3 hrs already. My family got nothing at all.
