Spencer Creek is an urban stream flowing through Hamilton, Ontario, draining into Cootes Paradise — one of Lake Ontario's largest coastal wetlands — before ultimately connecting to Lake Ontario itself. The creek runs through a mix of natural and urban landscapes, offering accessible fishing opportunities for anglers of all experience levels. The Spencer Creek Trail in Hamilton follows approximately four kilometers of the creek, providing a scenic corridor lined with trees and abundant wildlife. The creek falls within Fisheries Management Zone 16 (FMZ 16), which governs regulations for this waterway and surrounding tributaries in the region.
