Hot Weather Fishing

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.
