The season is here once again for my fav fresh water fish. White fish. Opens in the morning and I am all loaded up and stoked.

Yes, the city's changed since I was kid growing up in High Park in the 60's & 70's, but it's still the same town in a lot of ways. 3 million people, but it remains a city of neighborhoods. The horse stables at Sunnybrook (Leslie just north of Eglinton) are still there...my daughter used to ride there when she lived in Leaside. A little bit of the countryside in the middle of a metropolis.

Big Chute ramp has been permanently closed. If you want to fish that water, launch at the marina upstream. You aren't getting into Tea Lake unless you've got a high water year as well from under that bridge. There is however a free launch at Tea (right near the bridge) but the ramp is pretty steep. Park across the street in the parking lot. Also, all you'll be catching in those back bays this time of year are OOS bass. Spot you'll want to avoid.

Thanks Pal, I appreciate it but that's the the wrong line rating and thus the ferrules would not fit.

Right now any of the local locks like Edmunds or Kilmarnock will be busy with folks looking for Crappies.

For spring pike? No. GPool is where you'll want to target. Little Chute comes out of Six Mile and dumps into GPool. East end of the lake by Big Chute.

I've got zero issues with the kid getting a photo with this fish. It's the people who would take advantage of the proposed rule change I'd have an issue with.

Hi all, Got out with a buddy to do a bit more exploring before walleye opens here on Wabigoon Lake, got into some bass, a few pike and a couple of crappie. Surface temps have risen a fair bit in a week, hovering around 48 - 50F on the main lake and in a few shallow channels we saw up to 57F. Bass were in the shallow bays in the warm muddy waters and a few shallow rock flats, very aggressive, pike are probably just about done spawning in the shallow weedy bays and the crappie we found were down in and suspended over 27'FOW.

The chains are just for the cross ties... he's a gentle horse so a simple lead rope or strap is all that's needed. Appaloosas can be a handful but my daughter handles both of hers easily..

WSHTF happens.........that is two things you would rather be looking at rather than looking for - guns and booze
