Sorry you decided so late.

Unfortunately Ottawa Valley South Bassmasters sign-up deadline has passed. It's frustrating to see so many anglers wait this long to decide to fish in a series or tournaments in general. We have already "turned away" 5 prospective new members who were all going to become members as non-boa...

Frogs

50 lb Power Pro. 65 lb is too heavy. As mentioned you will lose distance.........and when the water is super skinny you need that extra 10 feet ! If you are having trouble hooking up when throwing frogs it is LESS likely to be the actual frog causing the trouble. It is MORE likely that it is your ti...

What about ?

As for specifics close to TO. I have no idea.

Good luck.

Something I noticed while driving..........
