Kingennie return provides some testing encounters
IT'S been some time since I last visited Forbes of Kingennie in Dundee and what a transformation - it has been turned into a complete fishing village. Apart from the specimen pond, my own personal favourite, there are several other ponds which include game and coarse angling. Although by no means big, the specimen pond can be quite a testing casting experience for the less able of anglers but cooler conditions and clear water have made the trout start to chase the odd lure once again. .
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.
Killing Fish to Make Room for Others
(KCPW News) Apparently Utah's state fish doesn't do well with competition. State wildlife officials have wiped out the existing population of Brown Trout and Mottle Sculpin in a portion of the Diamond Fork River to make room for 10,000 Bonneville Cutthroat Trout. DWR Conservation Manager Scott Root says the state used a naturally occurring toxin to kill the fish. "We used backpack sprayers to apply the rotenone and we had 20 different trip stations with the chemical. As far as we can tell it was a complete success." Root says the poisoned fish will decompose and fortify the food base for the new Bonneville Cutthroat in the river. The toxin has not been shown to hurt other organisms in the river system. Wildlife officials installed a barrier to keep Brown Trout from moving back upstream into the portion reserved for Bonneville Cutthroat.
