Thanks for sharing the trip. It looks like you may be spoiled now for fishing Alberta It is amazing how diversified the fishing is there and the success despite huge population areas.

Apparently trips not over just yet. Whispered reports of salmon are being caught on one of the rivers. Currenty we are driving north of toronto and spending the night casting for chinook. Gunna be a long night and hopefully we can hook into some big fish!

The Nottawasaga River?
Some great fishing there in the late summer and early fall (and late winter / spring for steelhead too )
Bit early for salmon in the rivers, but there may be some early 'scouts' cruising off the mouths of the rivers. If you'd get any they would be scrappy for sure, nothing like fresh 'silvers' on a spoon cast from shore .
Note: I lived in Owen Sound for 8 years so am familiar with salmon fishing there. Man I miss that! And we sure miss the 10 days of the Salmon Spectacular derby held the end of August - through Labour Day weekend. Wife was saying just a couple of days ago that she wants to attend that event sometime again.

No it wasnt that river. Same direction though 3 of us got to one of the piers on Lake Ontario around midnight. There was probably already about 15-20 people divided between the two peirs all fishing underneath the lighthouses casting into the darkness of the lake.
It was absolutely spectacular out there! The moons light shimmered from the horizon of Lake Ontario right to the peir in a perfect triangle on the water. Huge rolling waves were crashing the peirs cement walls from the northwest and all you could hear other then the waves was everyones lines squealing from their reels then our glowing spoons splashing through the surface.
Half an hour in I saw the first salmon hooked from the next peir over so we knew the rumors were true! Not to long after Geoff hooked and landed one! For a small chinook salmon this fish sure put up a scrappy fight! It was awesome!
Between 3-5am fishing really slowed down. Temperature dropped and the wind picked up. Between 5-6am the sun was coming up and fishing boats were cruising out from inbetween the peirs. So we had one last cast... and headed to the airport
Back home now Thanks for all the comments

well then.. looks like I'm going to half to go back that way :P
caught one chinook from the river systems from the lakes but by then it was already turned colours and fought more like a log. Still a solid fight though

the chinooks I caught off Tofino fought like racehorses . After two 12 pounders I was ready to go in . That one the guy is holding has more colour than the ocean fish I landed .
