Little Rouge Creek is the east branch of the Rouge River system, flowing through the greater Toronto area in Ontario, Canada. This creek holds a notable distinction in the region as a natural warmwater fishery that has maintained impressive biodiversity despite significant upstream landscape pressures from both agricultural and urban development. Its resilience makes it one of the more ecologically unique waterways in the Toronto Conservation Authority (TRCA) watershed, and it draws anglers looking for accessible urban fishing with a surprisingly diverse catch. Public fishing access is available on public lands upstream from Highway 2, making it a viable destination for anglers throughout the region.
