Notty, Mouth

Anyone know if the gate is open at the park by the mouth of the nottawasaga?

Still closed drove by Sunday

Thanks for the reply. Have feeling they will all be gone by opener this year

Last year I trolled the mouth in 20-30 FOW mid May and speaking with a guy at the launch I was a little late. When do people start trolling the mouth of the Notty? ASAP? I caught a laker and a salmon, so I am thinking with the water so cold there is a mixed bag swimming around. Thoughts?

Start now! A few days after the first big rain of the spring and above zero temps that's when the fishing begins and chances of hooking up dramatically increase as temps and water warms up. Last year i believe fishing peaked end of April. Salmon will hang at the mouth all spring and summer. Most guys will fish the outflow coming from the Notty, mostly fishing colored water however those salmon have to come from somewhere. That being said if they are not in that dirty water near the mouth then start venturing offshore to 40, 50, 60, 70, 80fow even if surface temps could be in the 30's, watch your graph for Bait or hooks. if you mark them but they are not hitting start changing lures and don't forget your meat strips at home
Sorry I think I answered more than you asked hahaha.

Fantastic, thanks Krawler. Start fishing now is exactly what I was hoping to hear!

Khris, you are an amazing contributor to this forum and your posts really encourage me to go GB fishing no matter other circumstances in my life!
Thanks a lot!

Glad I can help/motivate. Hopefully everyone has a successful Spring and don't forget your tickets to the Spring Trout Derby put on by the Georgian Triangle Anglers Association.

When I drove by last weekend I went to sturgen point marina and looked towards the mouth and was able to see waves breaking right across the mouth that may indicate that the channel is closed up and shallow. We never got the big winter blow out like the past. Have they ever dregged this area before

i know 2 guys that went today, they said channel was good. No fish though.

Thank you

Crossed the Notty at Edenvale on Hwy 26 yesterday. River is over its banks and in flood.

Ha---a mere trickle. You should see it now!

I agree with Mark.....Chris so many of your posts have educated this newly on salmon. Not only on this forum but on the Georgian Bay forum as well. You have such vast knowledge and understanding..Thank you.......much respect brother.
