Brown Trout
While Red Creek itself may hold some trout, anglers seeking brown trout in the area should focus on the larger streams and rivers that feed into Lake Ontario. The Salmon River, a short drive from Red Creek, is renowned for its fall brown trout run, where mature fish migrate upstream to spawn. While the fall run is popular, spring can also be productive. Try drifting egg sacs or nymphs through deep pools and runs. A practical local tip: check the water levels before you go, as high or low water can significantly impact fishing success. Public access is widely available along the Salmon River, but be prepared for crowds during peak season. The brown trout in this area are known for their size, with many fish exceeding 5 pounds and some reaching double digits. Be aware of the specific regulations for the Salmon River, as they can be complex and vary depending on the time of year.
