Just for safety you should probably post the exact campsite you are staying at and what lures you are using just incase we need to identify your body.

Binbrook crappie derby for me, if I get bored there is also pike and walleye there.

I heard the mnr is looking into it,but their first thought was the warmer temps in March threw off their internal clock?,I,m sure we'll find out soon.

As far as I know it hasn't been observed in other bodies of water though?

I've seen the last few weeks there have been a lot of remembrances, many of those people I did not know however 2 days ago this hit me hard. Maurice Sendak was a children's writer however prided himself on showing young ones more serious things in life and was utterly disgusted by today's "princess" books that sugarcoated kids. Though not the most conventional children's author kids and adults loved his work and all took meaning from his books. He was the author and illustrator of books such as "Where the wild things are", and "in the night kitchen". RIP Maurice Sendak.

Your ISO is wayyyy to high for that light (go down between 100-200) , try going as wide as you can to include more of the buildings. Lowering the f-stop will help make the shot more dramatic.

Well at least I wasn't too far!

two more.

Ya, ok, that makes more sense, if you are just there for a mother's day thing you could probably find some time, sneak off to the eastern side by the mill really nice place, sorry still nothing on carp.

I wouldn't bring the rice, ways too much, if you stop by a camping or outdoors store like mountain co-op you can get dehydrated meals as a plan b if you don't get any brookies. The mesh bag idea really works well, and you don't have to portage an anchor then!

Has anyone tried using other types of roe for steelhead, you know perch etc

Really important to bring toilet paper, I know that I already said that but I just felt that I had to say it again.

Grab a ziploc and stuff a TONNE of toilet paper in it, it can be used for the obvious, kindling if you can't find any, and can get you out of most pickles. Also, not sure how it is right now but some kind of bug control ( deet, head net, etc). Some sort of communication incase of emergency I'm sure you know this but DON'T COUNT ON A CELL PHONE! Don't forget a rod and good luck!

Done, on my other email!

Oh, where is this one?

I was there last year and next to algonquin probably the nicest waterbody that i visited, not sure how the camping is, but personally I would go through the week so that it's calmer, also I would target rainbow trout, yes they are stocked however they are more plentiful and of good size. I want to get out on the long weekend with the canoe in a couple weeks.

ahh, dalrymple?

done for the fourth time!

done

You are a cruel man asking that question, I have no favourite but am opposed to deep water trolling, just too slow for me.

Done!

Ha! Temagami's in the lead and not only that but all of the leading towns are Ontario!

Done! Never been but want to make sure it's great when I finally get up there!

You have to watch though because some rental companies don't offer the checklist.

May and June are best in the great lakes if you want to find large numbers of fish - due to the spawn.

Inland lakes and particularly rivers are often good all summer.

You can blind cast for carp at times, but sight fishing them is waaay more effective.

And yes - they eat flies and do not need to be force fed. Great lakes carp will often pursue a stripped fly but on average I find that they are easiest to catch by casting at a 45 - 90º angle and past them, then drag the fly near them and drop it within a couple of feet. They will scoot forward and suck it up - or run like heck the other direction!!!

The easiest fish to catch are the sporadic rooters/feeders. The heavy rooters often don't see your fly and the cruisers are just plain difficult.

I've been doing it since I went to seminar at the Isaac Walton Fly Show about 12 years ago I guess. I was skeptical at first but the first carp I threw to in the Speed River ate my fly by bolting 2 feet for it. The next 20 ran like hell after that, until I figured them out.

Like all fish they can be easy but they are very spooky and can sometimes be nearly impossible, (ie: cruisers..)

They are my favourite fly rod fish!

Thanks for that! I'm going to try to get to the pond with my canoe in the next couple days!
