Shore Fishing in Trenton Ontario

There is no longer access to the dam itself, but the pool and rapids downstream are full of all kinds of species from sturgeon and gar to musky and bass. Just be careful of the currents as the water levels and speed change on an hourly basis, and of course make sure of open seasons and size restrictions of your catch.

Hi John.

So IT IS you. Welcome to the message board BTW. We met last year fishing at Rouge Beach. You might remember me. I was the guy with the red quantum telecast telescopic rod/reel combo which you helped tie my thrill slip bobber to and showed me the palomer knot (sp?) and some other fishing advice with my Uglystick rod.

Just got on to check what is new on the board and got back from the Stirling/Trenton area a few days ago and just saw this thread then saw your name which triggered a flashback to you and you and your friend mentioning of your blog. Checked your OSF profile and glad to see it was you.

Well a year has past and I finally broke the thrill on Tuesday fishing the canal by Tourist Road (Frankford) when I hit a tree snag. Not making an extend-a-pole with me which I normally do and using the telecasts ~8-10# test it snapped. I could have sawed the branches down if it was a dead standing tree but it was a live one..oh well.
