I'm actually glad that there was some enforcement here. You see some really sad and disappointing things sometimes out on the water. Great vid, keep it up. I subscribed because you're a local fisherman near me.
I fish this creek regularly, as well as further south towards the lake... No such regulations apply, I've spoken with DNR, local Conservation (which doesn't regulate this creek) & the local bylaw office, there are absolutely no laws, rules or waterbody exemptions in this creek that state you cannot use treble hooks, lures or spinners. I did all of the research before fishing these waters, to ensure I didn't get myself in any trouble... You're just not allowed Live Bait or Lead Sinkers / drop shot etc.... These kids most likely didn't have their outdoors card / license, or there was another issue they are addressing.
Hey mate, I’m only saying what that officer told me. He might be right, he might be wrong. But your approach, doing your own research it’s the best way to go!
Using lures is legal I catch steelhead on spoons all the time a d it not poaching Poaching is when you are keeping to many fish regardless of any laws in place
Like I said in one of the previous comments I think the warden observed them for a while and only then approached them after he was sure of what they were doing…
@@FishonFishgone it doesn’t matter… there are no tackle restrictions on bronte creek, which means if he ticketed them for improper tackle, he cited them for breaking a law that doesn’t exist.
@@aidanbryant4601 I've spoken with the Department of Natural Resources enforcement attachment for this area regarding this exact issue, I was told by another angler that I wasn't allowed to use treble hooks / spoons... The DNR advised me there are no specific waterbody exemptions for this particular creek (or any in the area for that matter). Meaning you can use any tackle you want, as long as its not lead.... The only regulation is regarding live bait, which is not allowed, and obviously you have to have your license / outdoors card.... They did say there may have been a regulation at some point against treble hooks on any attachment, but if there was it has been amended, and it doesn't exist anymore.
No matter what lure you use if a conservation officer sees you purposely setting the hook without a bite over and over again you are obviously trying to snag them. If you snag a fish once and reel it in then continue to do the same technique even if you are float fishing technically the conservation officer has a case no matter what you are running.
Luckily for them they where kids 15-16 years old probably,I’m pretty sure a grown up adult it might not have the same luck. I hope the kids learned something because this was a freebie and in most cases not everyone is that lucky!
Weird, I’ve never heard of any restrictions regarding lures with treble hooks. My guess is that those guys may have been trying to snag a fish, and the officer took notice. Great video 👍
If you would have watched the video till the end you would have understood that that's what the officer has said, because of what the kids were doing. And yes you are allowed to use spinners in Bronte.
I fish on Credit and Bronte river because they are closer to me but you can fish in any river that is connected to Lake Erie,Ontario,Huron. But if you’re asking about setup I’m going fishing again this weekend and I can talk about my setup then...
Hi what rod and line test are you using ? I am a beginner and bought an Ugly Stick GX2 6.6 Feet with 6-15 lb line rating on the rod. I want to fish for salmon and steelheads. Is that rod good enough ?
Hi there, For salmon and steelhead you would need something around 10-13ft are the preferred lengths... You need a longer rod to be able to control the float and the line... Get something like 6-12 pounds action. That’s what I have and I use it for both salmon and steelhead. Good luck!
@@FishonFishgone I was going to say.. you saying the kids got in trouble for using spoons isn’t what got them in trouble, that’s not what’s illegal right? But putting led treble hooks on and dragging it across the bottom (snagging fish) is illegal but using a mepps inline spinner or a Williams spoon is legal, correct?
Hi there, I use roe(salmon eggs), I have friends (Phill and Adrian) they use beats and fly jigs and that works really good for them. I would say early morning would work best, as soon as you have light...depending on the season.
So I had many people commenting on this video and from what I can tell the officer was mainly triggered by the kids because they where trying to snag the fish(I didn’t noticed that but I can only assume that the officer was watching them for a while). So I don’t think there’s a restriction as long as you don’t try to snag them...
@@FishonFishgone makes sense, I was thinking you might have been fishing in the conservation area... I know in those stretches of water it's usually single barbless hooks.
@@FishonFishgone do you have any video showing your set up? I haven't been able to get a fly rod yet because of the store closures, I could order online but I want to hold the rod and see it first person lol. I'm curious about your set up because I'm heading to the Beaver River in Thornbury this week.
matt graziano ,I hope it’s still under warranty,otherwise ...to bad. Today I was on the water as well,it’s was tougher to catch a fish! But I still have some material to make a video:)
I was once on the credit river when the water was low and I found a cable with three treble hooks on it....the hooks were each about 7 inches long (the shank). People who pull stunts like that should be worse then fined. I'd say jailed but that just eats up tax payers money.
@@FishonFishgone that was in the 90s so hopefully they are already caught. It really makes you wonder how they behave in other areas of their lives. Fishing is a great way to meet people who are enjoying themselves and are open to bettering things. Sure we burn up a lot of gas getting to places to fish but more often then not outdoors people are mindful of environmental impact in their day to day lives and those are the days that make up about 95% of our lives. Nice to have some spots that are local to lessen the impact of travel. Thats just another reason why urban fishing holes are so precious. Good to see there is a presence of ministry officers protecting the area. In four decades of fishing in Ontario I have not once had my license checked. Only once seen Ministry officers checking (on the Credit) and only once been checked in Quebec. It always made me wonder where the money I had been paying was going.
The SickNeeds ,I’ve seen the ministry this fall on Credit as well,he gave out a few fines while I was there,so it’s good to see they are on the waters.
Hey Mac,I’m not disagreeing with what you’re saying,I’m just saying what the officer said. But I do think his main issues what’s that he seen the kids trying to snag the salmon....
Where in the ontario fishing regulations does it mention you can not use spinners or spoons in rivers or creeks. Lol For what reason can't you use them? If it is because you think they are not biting spinners in the mouth I can tell you I caught over 50+ cohos on a secret creek in ontario on just meps spinners every single one of them were in the mouth.
@@FishonFishgone Definetly none. There are a few single barbless hooks regs in the province in some parts of some waterbodies. But even on those parts you can use spinners or spoons too just has to be single barbless.
I caught a massive Steelhead on a Mepps Cyclone in 2010 under the Rebecca st bridge. I am back in Australia now but I still regularly think about Bronte creek . Spoons do work there, I would just never use them for Salmon, to much risk of snagging, single hook/roe/bead only for Salmon.
Nice I was using 10lb test catching them no problem on spinners and spoons but they keep breaking my line either biting it or scraping it against the rocks. I was thinking to throw on 20lb braid. Love your videos man
Joey D you should be fine with 10lb,not sure how they keep breaking you,I haven’t lost one in a long time on 8lb... But that’s how you Learn,the important part is that you’re catching! I’m going fishing today as well,hope I’ll catch something:)
Both caviar and roe are fish eggs. Salmon roe is much larger than the finer caviars, and is more readily available. If you'd love to eat like royalty without investing a fortune, salmon roe is a great way to spruce up the food at any special occasion
@@FishonFishgone, i meant is fish meat and caviar caught in that river are safe to eat? Did you personally eat that salmon? I know that the fish from Lake Ontario is not safe to eat sometimes and all salmons are usually come from lake.
I never tried to fish there maybe when borders open up but any ways I do bass and trout fishing so a little bit of step up noeone watch’s me though because I am a kid 😂
From my understanding you can but I think the officer might have watched the kids and maybe they were trying to snag the salmon... So it’s just a matter of perception ...
I don’t know if I agree with these rules I’ve never been to this spot but it seems like a silly law if you ask me what is so bad about swinging a spoon in a little pool like please show me where in the regs it says you can’t use spinners or spoons in a 4 ft deep pool
The regulations prohibit lining, so if you see a fish and cast a spoon around it (even a float rig) it is illegal. They were likely attempting to snag it. Spoons including treble hooks are allowed in this case. They are restricted in other cases but not for Salmon or in Bronte Creek.
@@dylanmounsey7515 lol okay there. Do you actually read the regulations? Probably not - police just detain someone for no reason right. Ontario law clearly states you cannot snag a fish and attempting to do so is enough for a police officer to intervene in Ontario. That is a Halton Police officer and I have seen the. enforce rules at Bronte before and the MNR also are there quite a bit. What happens in that area of Bronte is absolutely disgusting especially what people do there just for roe. That's why there is a lot of enforcement in that area.
Thanks for the offer Omar but lately I'm so busy that I hardly have any time to go fishing and trying to match my crazy schedule with someones else schedule will be mission impossible.
I kind of follow your posting and can't help to notice that while most fishermen practice catch and release, you never did. What's funny though is you are quick to point the poachers to authority. So tell me, what do you do with the fish you catch? My guess is you take them home, cut them and get the roe, unless you eat the fish...Otherwise, you are like those poachers, catching the fish, cut them and get the roe. The difference is you are able to hide what you do. Be real, start releasing the fish, after all, it's sport for most. Stop giving excuses that the fish is too weak that being a reason for you to take it home. Let's not be hypocrites. And stop criticizing other people as you might be a poacher yourself.
:))) Not sure if you have noticed but most of the fishing that I'm catching I release, look at my other videos if you`ll like. And on reporting anything to the authorities, I haven't done anything like that, not that I would when its the case but the coop suspected the kids were doing that, I was just commenting on what happened over there. And usually, I don't release the salmons just because I can only catch them once a year...
@@FishonFishgone The fish was a male so definitely no eggs there. All of these salmon die after spawn and natural reproduction is a tiny fraction if at all. Catch and release in this situation has zero impact on the fish population. I'd be more concerned with eating any of the PCB laced salmon out of Lake Ontario. The issue with using weighted spoons is snagging of fish which is rampant on the river. Most fishermen who are serious about actually trying to get a fish to bite are using roe bags or flies with relatively tiny hooks. Even with this set-up an accidental snag can be common. Throwing big hardware and ripping it across a fishes back is not fishing it's an obvious attempt at poaching. Generally it's these guys who take the fish for the roe and then discard the remains on the river bank. Take a walk up from the Shell Park to the river and be disgusted with what you see.
The man paid for a licence. The man caught one legally. He decides to keep it. Nothing you can do and he did nothing wrong. Personally I like to let the males go even if there is just a few females left in the river at least all the males can help to carry on the next generation of salmon. One thing I do not like is I find dead salmon with big treble hooks stuck in their gills and throat. salmon will die because of the angler failed to land it result big hooks stuck in their mouths and therefor can not breathe and they die. Should be the law to use a single hook no bigger than your small finger nail. Easier on the salmon when broken off and less expensive on the angler. Please do not waste the salmon. Be thankful smoke it, fry it or steam it or bake it and remember the great day that fish gave you.
I'm actually glad that there was some enforcement here. You see some really sad and disappointing things sometimes out on the water. Great vid, keep it up. I subscribed because you're a local fisherman near me.

@@Hammerdak , you could be totally right, I was only trying to say what the officer told me.

And usually, I don't release the salmons just because I can only catch them once a year...
@@FishonFishgone The fish was a male so definitely no eggs there. All of these salmon die after spawn and natural reproduction is a tiny fraction if at all. Catch and release in this situation has zero impact on the fish population.
I'd be more concerned with eating any of the PCB laced salmon out of Lake Ontario.
The issue with using weighted spoons is snagging of fish which is rampant on the river. Most fishermen who are serious about actually trying to get a fish to bite are using roe bags or flies with relatively tiny hooks. Even with this set-up an accidental snag can be common. Throwing big hardware and ripping it across a fishes back is not fishing it's an obvious attempt at poaching. Generally it's these guys who take the fish for the roe and then discard the remains on the river bank. Take a walk up from the Shell Park to the river and be disgusted with what you see.
Ross Umali if you define keeping the fish as “poaching” you really need to read the Ontario fishing regulations.
The man paid for a licence. The man caught one legally. He decides to keep it. Nothing you can do and he did nothing wrong. Personally I like to let the males go even if there is just a few females left in the river at least all the males can help to carry on the next generation of salmon. One thing I do not like is I find dead salmon with big treble hooks stuck in their gills and throat. salmon will die because of the angler failed to land it result big hooks stuck in their mouths and therefor can not breathe and they die. Should be the law to use a single hook no bigger than your small finger nail. Easier on the salmon when broken off and less expensive on the angler. Please do not waste the salmon. Be thankful smoke it, fry it or steam it or bake it and remember the great day that fish gave you.
I 100% agree with what you just said!
Appreciate the fish, appreciate the nature and don’t waste anything!
