Fishing Forecast for May 8th

 
We have a complicated relationship with the month of May, the weather is great and fishing is incredible, but some day's there is actually too much choice, how do you choose?! Check out our full report in the video above for our thoughts on this weekend's options, including dry flies, steelhead, pike, carp, and more!

Trout Forecast

Trout fishing continues to heat up on our local rivers! Dry fly fishing is now in full swing on many rivers. Fish are also still unpressured, making this the best time of year to get into quality fish!

Steelhead Forecast
 
Steelhead are still hanging around and they are hungry! Focus on larger rivers and try swinging flies, it's a very fun and effective way to fish this time of year!
 
Pike Forecast

Pike season is now open in many zones with Zone 16 (SW Ontario) set to open this weekend too! Fish are fresh off the spawn and excited to eat!
 
Carp Forecast

It's now warm enough we're starting to hit the water for carp, fish are active in shallow water in the spring. Experience sight fishing these large fish for yourself!
