Did some topwater in the general vicinity of Aylmer Island this A.M. Had a great morning until the winds picked up. Lots of action by mostly average and small fish. Still..... Sorry folks. Had to edit out the pics due to download restictions as Pro-Bassing said. I was seeing them fine as they were s...

Haven't posted a report in a while. I've lost more great Smallies in the past few outings than I can bear. Some inches from being lipped and others a rod' s length off the boat. These long distance releases make it hard to get pics. I am sure I've had at least two in the four and a half lb. range sl...

I was watching a hunting show a couple or three weeks back on CH, channel 18 out of Hamilton. There was a parental warning that some scenes may not be suitable for children. I don't normally watch hunting shows. This was big surprise to me. I don't hunt. I don't object to others hunting either. But,...

I've been very disappointed in Trilene this year as well. I like to buy the 1000 yard spools. What with six or seven rods to spool, I find it the most efficient way to go. However, my line seems to get cloudy and then useless as sewing thread after only a couple or three outings. If I could locate S...

It's on page 7 of the general regs and in bold type: "Remember that all fish kept (in a livewell, on a stringer, etc) and not immediately released count towards your daily catch and possession limit" Thanks Saskie, What a braindead location for such a vital piece of info. Any intelligent ...

It is against the law to cull. Hey Markus, I'm not a tournie angler. In fact, at one time I was opposed to them. Today, I'm fairly neutral on the topic. Could you point to the passage which states that for me please? All I can see is that you must release any fish which puts you over the catch or p...

[quote="Moosebunk I still can't believe my mistakes, I'm such a numbskull :lol:[/quote] You're being way too hard on yourself, Bunk. Poacher should probably be left for " intentional " rule breakers, I suppose. Consider that a few years back two well known TV fishing hosts were charge...

[quote="Moosebunk"]Leaky.... A POACHER :!: This just blows my mind. I guess in a sense you're right on this, [/quote] Heh, heh. It's only a minor, more importantly, unintentional misunderstanding of the rules. MB. I too was guilty of breaking a few rules out of ignorance in the past. That ...

At this time I'll be honest I have the equivalent of about 12 walleye in fillets in my freezer, so, what these guys imply is that if I was to go fishing tomorrow I couldn't keep anything. Hey Moosebunk, I'm afraid that qualifies you, albeit I am certain unintentionally, as a poacher. Yikes! It's in...

[quote="RJ"]Leaky, How was the water level? RJ[/quote] That depends RJ. At the crest of the waves it was up two feet. In the troughs, it was down a foot. :lol: Best I can guess is that it is right around normal for this time of year. I still have my prop. So, it musn't be too bad. :wink: B...

Took off before dawn this morning because I had to get back early. The forecast was for a west wind all day. I hate west winds on Lac Deschenes. They just come charging down the pipe bringing with them 3 foot swells with the occasional surprise sunami just to scare the bejeepers out of you. As soon ...

CCB, I don't have any problem with user fees provided I see actual value for my money. ie. well maintained facilities. Perhaps there are plans to fix it up. Although, they really should be allowed, by Treasury Board, to budget to do the work first and 'then' charge recoup the investment. If they are...

Darned threat of lightning kept me of the water today. Thought I'd run over to Hog'sBack to follow up on the ramp. Turns out the "vandals" were Parks Canada themselves. They raised the price from $6.00 to $7.00. According to the young fella collecting, it's now $11.00 in total to launch an...

[quote="Gravelguy4"]I was at a local bait shop the other day and the owner suggested that if I caught crappy while out on our lake that we should keep them whether we wanted to eat them or not.[/quote] Gravelguy4, I believe that a Crappie is considered a sportfish, As such, it would be ill...

[quote="yung_flyfisher3"] on the quebec side to the left of the bridge there is some really good fishing, [/quote] If you're planning on entering and exiting on the Quebec side, you will need a Quebec license , I do believe. I am certain you can't bring them ashore. Anyone care to verify/r...
