Species roady info?

[MuskieBait]

I can't give you exact locations...but here are some general areas.

Northern Sunfish - You are looking in the right area for them if you are around London, especially the Upper Thames. You can also find a few Redhorse species in the same watershed. You can also find Northerns around Parry Sound.

Green Sunfish - All of the Green Sunfish I caught in Ontario came out of watersheds on the northern shores of Lake Erie...except for my very first one which came out of Lake Aquitaine in Mississauga. But I think that was the exception rather than the norm. For Green Sunfish waters, think small, sluggish and tannic.

Black Bullhead - The same as Green Sunfish, with the exception that I caught Black Bullhead in Grenadier Pond in Toronto as well. Apparently, it has never been recorded there...so either they were misidentified as Brown Bullhead the whole time, or this is a new established population. Yes, I did catch more than one...and the fish were confirmed by anal ray count and pectoral spine characteristics.

Yellow Bullhead - The only two Yellow Bullhead I personally knew about came from Ottawa River. Same location, different year. Not much I can share about them since I don't know anyone else who has caught them. Mine were all caught in the US.

White Perch - If you are fishing around Windsor, I would try the shores of Lake St. Clair just east of Windsor. We caught quite a few of them along that shoreline. I would think they are common in Detroit River as well.
