Off Topic Thames River walleye

[Fishboss]

Hey now that ice fishing season is done im interested in trying the Thames out for some eyes where is a good place to start? Any info is much appreciated thanks.

Was on the Thames today for 4 hours. Water and weather was awesome. Not a sniff. Nice to be out though. A lot of people in Komoka

 

[Fishboss]

From research I've done komoka seems like a good place to start, is there good parking? How long is the River walleye season?

 

[Double D]

I believe it closes March 13 or 15 th glots of parking. Very muddy bring rubber boots

Zone 16 Walleye and Sauger combined Season: January 1 to March 15 and second Saturday in May to December 31 Limits: S-4 and C-2; not more than 1 greater than 46 cm.

If you're going to Komoka, if it's too busy there, head towards Delaware and try under the bridge by the racetrack or south of it where the river bends. I'm told that's been a good spot.

..I see some vehicles parked by Veteran's Memorial in London....anybody having any luck there??

You can always ask @stomp to go down and stick his head in the Thames to see if there's any up in Londontown. He's been known to take the odd early ice out splash in the "D" without serious harm done.

I tried @Wave Runner , but even with @Mrs. Stomp holding me by the ankles off the Western U bridge, I could not reach the water... I did take a picture though...

I've never heard of any walleye being caught in that area. Bass, but not walleye, something about them not being able to get past the dam at Labatts. But I have heard of them being caught at the Labatt's dam along with some rainbows periodically, but being I can't go stand on the side of a river anymore, I can't test that information.

As I've said so many times before. I know where to go, I just can't get to it, or if it's out in the lake, I can't cast that far and other people keep winning the lottery that aren't me, so I still can't have that boat I want.

I fished delaware this weekend. River is low but ice is all gone from shore now. Just sucker and carp being caught at the moment

 

[Fishboss]

Hopefully it'll change for next weekend @Walter Fishonn

Any big carp? 15lb +

 

[Walter Fishonn]

No monster carp but they were aggressive hitting swim baits. The walleye should be showing up any day and I will be out next weekend to greet em.

Great. (Insert sarcastic eye roll emoji). Now we'll get even more morons using multiple rods on our creeks and rivers during the trout, walleye runs. "But I'm fishing for carp."

I mostly fish carp. I’m glad we finally got the 3 rod rule. I’m sure some guys will break the rules but they will get caught eventually. Need to use carp specific baits, can’t toss out 3 rods with minnows on the end.

Half of them still wont catch Jack. I spend quite a bit of time in the summer carping so im stoked
