fishnsled

A healthy looking yote. Could make for a Wylie moment in a week or two when that ice thins out. I hope that no one looses a pet while they are in the area. I had one (at least) of them in my neighbourhood last summer. I never saw it but one of the neighbours thought it was a wolf as the thing was so big, biggest he's ever seen. Head topped the hood of his truck is what he said. Seems to be a greater population of them in recent years in the suburbs.

Great stuff Brian!

Great report Ryan!! Always enjoy reading your family reports. Looks like a fantastic time for everyone!!

Can't wait to get back out there again. Lots of fish last year but never broke the 30 pound mark and would like to do that this year. Picked up some some stuff to try out and anxiously waiting to do so. Bring on the warm weather please!!

Nice fish Tony and congrats once again!

Hence a good start Bernie. lol! Plenty of time for them mess it up and go to overtime again....

Off to a good start!

I was at Princess Auto today and saw them for $20 if anyone else is looking. 9A as well.

Fantastic news Mike!! Congrats!!!

Finally getting a chance to get caught up here. Nice report Brian, thanks for putting it together. It was a great weekend as always and greatly appreciate the invite Bernie. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your piece of paradise.

The fishing and weather could have been better but the company and laughs sure made up for it. Till the next time!

Very sad news Lew, sorry to hear of your families loss of such a great friend and companion.

Congrats Mike!!!

Ice fishing on Simcoe when I was a kid and the schools of herring would move in. There was no time to put another minnow on, so my dad's friend said - his hut, his rules I guess. We would just grab a piece of the styrofoam from the walls and put that on the hook. We caught a ton of them that day using that trick.

Greatly appreciate all the input guys. One of the other guys in the group found a place for us through cottagesincanada.com.

Then you know about the world class Specks located outside the forest?

There are no Specks there...... I've actually never fished the forest before. A buddy of mine has been bugging me for years to fish it.

PM Replied Mike, Thanks John, been sledding there a few times.

Our group of sledders had a cottage booked for the family day weekend (Friday to Monday). We received an email saying that there was a propane leak and the furnace failed, busted pipes just a mess for them and no way to have it repaired and ready for us in a weeks time.

So we are looking for a cottage or something that can accommodate 8 guys. Main purpose of the weekend is to be on the trails but wouldn't minded dropping a line and fishing as well. At this late point in the game we are not too picky as things are booked up pretty good right now. Anything with in a 3 hour drive or so of Toronto is the area we are looking, prefer the Bancroft area but like I said, not to picky at this point.

Suggestions of any place is greatly appreciated. Must have cooking facilities.

Thanks!!

Some very impressive fish!! Good stuff!

I could use one of those days! Good fishing Simon!!

What a tank!! Congrats!

Shame on you Fantino and the rest of your party.

That was a fun read. Lots of variety and some good fish as well. 5 fish limit on the perch eh? Well if the fish are getting to that size it's a good thing.

I haven't used them in years but we did well with them the times we did use them. I believe it may be new owners since the last time I was there but not sure.

Sounds like you had a nice trip Stan, thanks for the report.

Incredible report Pete!! I've got a 49.5" that I got years ago and have yet to get my 50" Here's hoping we both can do it in 2014!

Nice to hear that all is well Cliff. Quite envious of the weather you are having down there. Hopefully the temps will return to normals by the weekend as they are predicting. I'd be happy with -5 to -2 for a day time high right now.
