Southern Ontario's Credit River - Ontario Brook Trout

Fishing for trout in the Credit River

One of the most wonderful rivers, well-stocked with fish, is the Credit River which starts in Inglewood as cold fast running streams, ideal for trout. Between The Forks of the Credit and Port Credit where the river empties into Lake Ontario, are many, many ideal fishing spots. Rapids are shallow, pools are deep and the boulders on the flat provide great spots for trout.

The Credit River passes just 45 minutes from the center of Toronto, making a fishing trip for residents a very easy outing. However, it is up at the fast running creeks around Inglewood where the Brook trout and Brown trout are in abundance. If you are looking for a 26 inch Brown trout, this is the place to try your hand. You will also find that the Forks Provincial Park has good access points to the Credit River where abound trout abound. Generally you should fish above the two waterfalls flowing into the Park for Brook trout and you are more likely to find Brown trout below the waterfalls.

Anglers fish in the Upper Credit because they enjoy the challenge of the wild trout found here. These fish are powerful and put up a real fight. Technique is important, but is a matter of choice and dependent on the water conditions. Generally streamers, dry flies and nymphs work well, depending on what the fish are biting.

Perhaps the Credit River is best known for its wild Steelies. With almost 5 000 Steelies running the river each year, it is not surprising. In this river the steelheads range from five pounders to eight pounders, but with many larger fish to be found at the right time. Up in Norval, although the season is short, you will find prime Steelhead fishing. Few anglers travel to the area between Norval and Streetsville so you may find that you have a section of the river to yourself. It is not unknown for some fisherman to hook three or four dozen Steelies in a single day.

The best time to fish the lower stretches of the Credit is between mid October and mid December, or in March and April. The fish will run after a heavy downpour or after the snow melts in spring and catches at these times are good. Anglers in the lower Credit River tend to favor float fishing with roe and small worms that attract the attention of the fish. Fly fishing is also very popular on the Credit.

Although fishing in the Credit may be a challenge at times, anglers know it as a superb river for angling and one of the best in Southern Ontario.
