During a down time at work this summer, I did a bit of online scouting and found out where the first OS sunfish reported from Ontario was caught. It's a long drive, but at least I now know where to go...

  Thread: Provincial park shore fishing
Post: RE: Provincial park shore fishing
If the boat launch area is off limits, that's a new one to me and likely to many others. The area is closed as per regs in the spring, but once the river is "legal", I think you can fish there.

I'd be leaning towards fallfish as well. I don't see any the scattered "dark" scales I usually see on common shiners.

I would also add that, for suckers, a #2 hook may be too large. I usually use a # 10. Also, is it your line breaking or your knot failing? I can't see a carp breaking 50lb braid unless it's really rub...
