Koi are domesticated carp that have been bred for specific colour variations.

The photo shows a tancho sanke variety. A live one half that size is worth almost $500.00 US. Some koi bring prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Unfortunately, this hybrid was a floater. Possibly a victim of spring viremia, a virus that is currently causing a die-off of carp in the eastern Lake Ontario basin. Same virus responsible for a die-off in 2000.

Jonathan!

Absolutely great fish! Great job!

I spent several hours over the past week fishing with my two 4-year-old twin nephews. One gets bored after half an hour; the other won't ever give up and can really catch fish. He casts, sets the hook and brings in decent fish all by himself: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Cancatchbass/Jorda...

I don't fish too often that far west

AND

by now you're probably on the water. Wasn't online yesterday.

If you decide to go back, send me a PM.

While on the St. Lawrence on Friday, I came across this fish: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Cancatchbass/GOLDFISHCROP2.jpg This is a cross between a carp and a goldfish (koi). Approx. 26-28" long, probably 7-8 pounds. Years ago a goldfish pond near my home overflowed into a drainage di...

This is a Fraser River, B.C. fish.

Nice try, Bruno

What section of the River will you be fishing?

"Did well using my Title-Shot jigs and tubes too. Felt every touch I got on those new jigs". :? :? :? Does this mean the jig itself is sensitive? Some revolutionary new material that transmits the slightest vibration directly to the angler? I don't get it. What does the jig have to do with...

I find myself backreeling often when hooked up to a good sized smallie on light line.

Something I've done for years- likely started when I owned reels with less-than-perfect drags.

It's too bad there was not someone there at the time to educate the boy on the importance of that fish. I would have loved to have taken photos and measurements so that he could have a replica made. Losing a good sized muskie from the upper St. Lawrence, especially after what they've been through re...

Sorry, TD:

It's a fully wild, untethered bird, living in a nest in the middle of the St. Lawrence. I've got 3-400 photos of this bird and its mate if you'd like to see them.

I fish the St. Lawrence pretty well daily from May to November. Your mono is fine for the River. I use 17 pound Trilene XT for worming, spinnerbaits, etc. The fish could care less!

Maybe if our politicians fished, too, they wouldn't be so quick to ignore our fisheries...
