  Ganaraska River - Ontario
Home of the ontario steelhead record with a fish that tiped the scales at a monstrous 29.1 pounds, this river holds a special place in the hearts of all steelheaders.
When the water is low and clear, the bows holding in the lower sections of the river are spooked and closed mouthed by sunrise, and anglers have a tough time getting them to bite.
The salmon come into the river to spawn and aggressively hit baits such as: roe fished on bottom or under floats, brightly coloured J9 or J11 Rapalas, cleos and other small spoons.

 Ganaraska River Steelhead Trout Fishing From Ontario, Canada
At this time of year, early May, the Ganaraska River is swollen with spring run-off.
I sensibly held my tongue however as I thought that maybe I needed to spend more time on the river before I began telling others what they should or should not be doing, like vacating the 50 yards of creek I had to myself for 30 seconds.
I reeled in, checked the worm, and set the bait drifting down the same stretch of river again, a deep section that flowed beside a bank that was probably not the wisest piece of land to fish from.

 Ontario's Grand River, by Ian Martin
The Grand River is the premier draw for anglers traveling to southern Ontario, but other rivers and species are attractions in their own right, and are a useful alternative if the Grand is "blown out" by rain or if throwing a popper for smallmouth bass seems like a good break from some "technical" Trico fishing.
This river may be the best kept secret of all, though it is well known among locals for its abundant smallies.
The Ganaraska River, to the east of Toronto, also has heavy migratory runs but is outside the 90-minute driving radius from the Grand.

 3927e Large Volume Sampling at Six Lake Ontario Tributaries During 1997 and 1998 - HTML Version
These were: the Credit River, the Humber River, the Ganaraska River, the Trent River, Twenty Mile Creek, and Twelve Mile Creek (Figure 2.2).
A summary of sampling locations, drainage basin areas, and annual average flows is presented in Table 2.1 to illustrate the range of tributary sizes covered by this study, and to provide an indication of the proportion of drainage basin area and flow from Ontario tributaries covered by the 1997/98 sampling program.
The large annual average flows from Twelve Mile Creek and the Trent River, and the extremely large drainage area associated with the Trent watershed, mean that the tributaries selected for sampling in 1997/98 cover approximately 80% of the Ontario tributary flows (excluding the Niagara River), and about 50 % of the Ontario watershed area.
