Excellent Bass Fishing, Trout Fishing and some Walleye Fishing on ...
The "Grand River Rafting Company" offers guided drift boat fishing on platformed rafts down the Grand River in Paris, Ontario. Fishermen will find abundant smallmouth bass, fall/spring rainbow trout… as well as pike, walleye and big carp. All trips are very reasonably priced. A five hour guided fishing trip for two with lunch is $200 total with a platform raft. Drift boat rafting is the most satisfying experience for fishing the Grand & Nith Rivers. Two fishermen can stand on the platforms and do trout fly fishing or fly fishing for bass with lots of space. Or for those that bait cast, they can sit in deck chairs elevated above the water level to easily see striking fish. The best thing about raft platform fishing is that the speed of the raft allows excellent casting opportunities at each fishing pool.
FWP, county agree on pond plan
The Lewis and Clark County Commission on Tuesday approved a plan for the management and future improvements at the pond and agreed with a state Fish, Wildlife and Parks official who suggested the creation of a citizens advisory council to ensure those upgrades move forward.The plan, drafted by an advisory committee created by the commission, calls for improvements to the pond's water intake system; limiting domesticated ducks and geese to three breeding pairs apiece plus their offspring; installing new signage and garbage cans; removing of asphalt near the water's edge; and the possible construction of a fishing dock, among other improvements.It allows the continued use of the pond for youth fishing, although young anglers would be limited to the north end of the 1.6-acre water hole. FWP Resource Program Manager Mike Korn said rainbow trout will continue to be stocked yearly.
On the Fly: Hoppers and droppers
Dave Johnson, owner of Carbondale-based Independent Flyfishing Guides, reached on his boat during a float down the middle Roaring Fork River on Monday, had just released an 18- to 20-inch rainbow that rose to a hopper.
The hopper/dropper combo is a good bet on the Roaring Fork these days, according to Johnson, who recommends a small pheasant tail for the dropper (a small nymph trailing off a larger dry fly).
The Colorado River flowing through Glenwood Canyon remains chocolate brown, but the lower Fork is also producing trout in the net with a hopper/dropper combination, according to Drew Reid at Roaring Fork Anglers in Glenwood Springs. He suggested a small blue-wing olive nymph or emerger pattern for the dropper - a No. 18 or 20 RS-2 or a pheasant tail.
"If it's cloudy, we're throwing streamers and doing really well," Reid added.
