- When you think about Toronto, you don't automatically think about fishing. The Evergreen Brickworks is an eclectic space with trails, food, a gardening center, art and a pond where you can fish. Not only that, this pond holds a rare Ontario fish species. In this episode I explore the Evergreen Brickworks and I have the goal of catching a rare Ontario fish species. That species is the green sunfish! Will I succeed or fail?

Welland River - they never go beyond one foot from shore - always crimp the barbs, boys, best thing you will ever do for many reasons
@@Jigger2361 cool
What you caught was a Green Sunfish x Bluegill Bluegill hybrid. The mouth is not as large as a pure Green Sunfish. The body shape is more rounded like a Bluegill Sunfish. The chest and belly is much more orange like the Bluegill Sunfish and the operculum flap is too long and lacks the red spot on the tip is characteristic of the Green Sunfish. I caught hybrids Green x Gill at Brickworks before up to 10-11" long.
Green Sunfish is not really that rare. You just need to know where they can be found. For example, Lake Aquitaine and Binbrook Reservoir have healthy populations of Green Sunfish. They are found much shallower and they hide among the cattails so they are caught less often than other Sunfishes unless you fish tight to the cover.
I hope you will find a pure Green Sunfish soon.
I think you’re right that it’s the hybrid. I’ve fished for so many years and I never even knew Ontario holds these creatures. So exciting….i guess i have to drive way outta my regular area to find a pure breed.
Wausau wau
Wash asghno
Neat place for dinks but a good time
Indeed!
Wow!we never knew what in the water but you caught some other fish i never catch before very nice sharing this show brotha..
fished for so many years and I had no idea that this fish lives here!
better be careful fishing at that spot, been there once and I got harrased by some random karen🤷
lol as a fishing RUclipsr I’ve been there and done that. Lol😂
I remember giant fish in the Don and smal fish in Taylor Creek Park at the start of the seventies , i wonder if they came back 🤔
@@PhilpFong never fished the Don before…I’d imagine you caught salmon and steelheads and suckers?
@@ToothyWally I never fished them , I just saw them from subway or from the bike trips with " the gang " along side them .
I don't know what they were , but the big ones from the Bloor viaduct were few and must have been 10 kilos .
But I don't trust myself with fishing stories , especially from the 70s maybe someone else remembers seeing them ?
The Green Sunfish is one of the most aggressive fish we have in Pennsylvania . I have been "wade fishing " and had Green Sunnies swim right up next to me to check me out . I have also seen them caught on a bare hook .
That’s cool, they’re so beautiful. Up here in Toronto we have a bigger population of pumpkinseeds and bluegills that are like your fiesty greenies!
Bullhead are delicious! Too bad you can't eat them from there. They are one of the few fish in Ontario that I really enjoy eating. Just pan fried with bacon fat and salt and pepper, or butter and dill! So good! And awesome to see you got the fish you were after!
There is still some great fishing in the GTA if you know where to go!
I live in oshawa and got some close by places for secret spot! Message me, I'll take ya on my boat or we can do the canoe thing man! It would be a blast! Keep up the content
@@burtonmatchett1957 catfish species in general are tasty…wish we have more catfish in the kawartha’s
How about a Silver Bass I haven't caught one since I was a kid and I am 73 now.
@@offgridwanabe silver bass are in lake O…hard to find though
Didn't know there were fun fishing spots in the middle of the city. Thanks for the upload.
@@jjhb6804 thanks…good place for dinks and bringing some kids if you don’t wanna drive 3 hours to a spot
The last guy I saw fishing here was flicking his cigarette butts into the pond.
@@Alsatiagent-zu1rx catch and release a safe bet
Beautiful catch of a very rare sunfish up here. I only thought they existed in the Thames River.
I was so jacked….the others probably thought I was crazy getting so worked up over a panfish
@@ToothyWally now you need to catch a warmouth lol. I friend of mine found a stream with some incredibly coloured long ears, never seen colour like that up here. They have some longears in the States that are insanely coloured. Look them up ;)

@@MbunaMarcus longears are beautiful
I thought Brickworks was synthetic baits only?
@@johnpeetube I used a small plastic and used some worms…didn’t see any signs saying anything hey bait to use or what not to use
Nice vid
@@AndyLau-f8j appreciate it!
We have some in our pound in eastern Ontario
@@knowyuhgrow420 that’s cool! They’re not common like the bluegill and pumpkinseed
Sweet Channel!
Thanks for the support!
awsome video
Thank you so much! So much fun to capture new catches like this
How did you struggle to catch green sunfish at the Brickworks? I get like 8 of those in a day along with goldfish, bluegills, pumpkinseed, bluegill x pumpkinseed hybrid, bluegill x green sunfish and rarely LM Bass but I still have never caught a bullhead from there
I couldn’t even catch a goldfish that day
@@ToothyWally must’ve been a slow day then
@@MightyMarioBros378 yes and no, tonnes of bullheads…didn’t show on it on the camera. Both the black bullhead and brown bullhead. Had good variety, 6 total species.
@@ToothyWally good job on the bullheads those are the only fish I have yet to catch in that place
@@MightyMarioBros378 thanks…they’re there
that's my go to fishing spot!!
Great variety and actually descent numbers of fish…but a very stunted population
@@ToothyWally yeah, there are some big bass in there though in the 3lb range and I once lost a giant crappie in the pond with the boardwalks
@@Billy-bn1rp crappie? lol you for real? I wonder how this biodiversity came to be ….it was mined like no tomorrow up until the late 80s.
@@ToothyWally yeah I’m not lying I hooked that thing and got too excited but I saw it’s whole head
@@Billy-bn1rp are we talking like a 7 incher or 11-12 incher? That’d be a cool catch
You think that fish is going to live after being handled like that??
@@estherabrams7274 yes, easily, been fishing for 30-40 years to know
Need to wet your hands first to not strip the protective layer. You've been alternately killing and causing scarring on 10% of your caught fish for 20+ years.
Not a chance. Trout can be a bit sensitive to handling, but these panfish are very resilient. They’re fine. I’d recommend throwing em back a tad sooner tho, especially the larger they get.
As an angler not sure why fishing is allowed in these man made ponds
Gold fish heaven 😂
It is…but they’re smart…I tried to get one on hook and line and they ignored all my offerings
@ToothyWally last time I was there, every cast brought one in, lol
@@ToothyWallywhen fishing there my daughter caught goldfish on bread
@@seanliew9771 that’s cool…there is a lot of gold fish there
mm. konada yes.
