Got my first couple whitefish the other day as well as some giant (4lb range) cisco, now have to cook em up.

The the whitefish I wanted to to broil them, usually I just use lemon, parsley, salt, and pepper but kind of wanted to try something new, suggestions?

For the herring I wanted to try smoking them (on the BBQ) I've never smoked anything on a BBQ so if anyone has any tips (and recipes ) for that as well it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

I'm holding out for the locusts...

I hear the make great bait for the salmons!

Geez, that's the best you can do! LOL

Second walleye I've ever caught, over 20", go figure eh?

And just to clear things up (to make sure we are being politically correct here) any atheist is a hypocrite, I used to go by this title but it isn't quite right. Since we can't prove a negative we can't logically say there is no god, therefor agnostic is truly a more fitting title. Of course an agnostic is generally assumed to be someone who is "still deciding" about their beliefs, that's why I am a teapot agnostic. I accept that there is a chance that there is a god I also accept that the chance of them existing is comparable to that of a teapot orbiting Mars.

Doesn't really contribute to this argument but just thought I'd throw it out there

But in French .

My wife and daughter were at No Frills on Saturday ... a local priest leaned toward my daughter ( 11 ) and asked " what do you think of the beautiful day that god has given us today ? "

My daughter looked at him , rolled her eyes and spun her index finger by her temple and said " who do you think you are ? " " let me correct you " " it's Mother Nature , Science ! " and walked away ... she has her own thoughts , free will and an open mind

And I love her

I don't mind his sermons, usually he makes a point that he accepts all beliefs, but he's just asking for it here.

about a half hour + the time it takes to glue the thunder creek head

I'll try one out!

$20 and knock yourself out!

Looks great Chris. I have those m*llard drake feathers you were asking for BTW.

Awesome! I'll let you know when I can pick them up

 

For the non fisherperson this post could have some grim overtones.

yes it could

BTW Bill, that's 4 hooks on that fly, not 3

Something I've been working on (sorry for bad pic).

Thin crust rules!

Might want to try moving more often. If using a hut drill until you find fish then pitch it.

I'll do it if you let me know what's involved. Who knows, maybe we can get this thing going by the beginning of February this year!

Yes Roy forgot the camera.. great to meet Leaf4 and Bass_man great to see Speil (Chris) Fish Farmer (Dave) Big Ugli (Bruce his wife Judy & Son Rob) Albert Christopher K It was a fun time for sure.. now to plan the next GTG when Guys and where this time..

On the ice!

if you take the bone out I'll take em

There's lots of bull trout too.

I just assumed we were talking steelhead

I'll come!

Talk to Barefoot, he should be able to help you.

End of Hadden Rd, takes you straight out to virginia. Worms will work but minnows, simcoe bugs and marabou jigs are best IMO.

See you guys tonight, maybe I'll bring some perch and ask if the chef can fry them up for us

Squirrel tail for sure, fly tying material if you are so inclined.

And better than you will find in any store too.

 

Ya, no doubt Bernie, maybe I should put it in the freezer and save it for musky season

Do it! Take the bone out, borax it, freeze it, then use it to make a couple bucktails

Squirrel tail. Very nice squirrel tail I may add.

1. Absolutely must catch a laker and whitie before we thaw out.

2. Find my way into a good algonquin trout lake this may.

3. Catch my first pike over 40"
