Video of it swimming is pretty cool!

3 year suspension isn't bad, but the fine should have been higher.

Great video! Thanks for sharing

My project is to finally finish this guy, and hopefully a few more that are of a little better quality.

I wanted to open a 60" X 40" section of wall between the den & living room and planned it as a winter project, but got ambitious awhile back and did it early.

 

Does that still count ??

Nice job!

challenge accepted! is there a prize?

 

An amazing story.

Yes it is. Just started listening to Dylan and A Guthrie this week and am liking what I hear so far

Pretty good start I'd say!

The concerns this year aren't in net.

Just wanted to know for the fantasy team

Anyone know who's starting in net?

This...

He's from Rainy River thats more like 12 hours from the St Mary's. Manitou there are a bunch of tribe west of Tbay that take in steelhead- probably only about 4-5 hours for you, could be doable in a multi day trip.

Wow, didn't realize it was that far until I looked at the route on a map.

Awesome!!! The more i see these types of reports the more i wanna try it it would involve some heavy travelling though. Superior tribs would be the closest to me i think???

I believe the st mary's gets a run, that's probably only a couple hours for you. You could talk to TDunn, I'm pretty sure he fishes it a lot.

Nice job Chris, Now that my weekends are Wed through Friday Im thinking of taking up steelheading again.

Want to try the geen sometime then?

Take a break from the ice this winter and try it

Great report, looks like ya did pretty well!

Balderson's good stuff, think he'd share? Nice fish by the way!

Was hoping to get out east and float some estuaries this morning but my ride decided to look at ice huts instead so I had to go west for the second day in a row (Poor me lol). Got there expecting at least a bit of a stain to the water with the rain we got last night, but upon seeing the river it was obvious that the rain hadn't done anything, still tonnes of visibility.

Started off using an egg sucking leech under an indicator but wasn't getting much of a response, so I switched up to the pin drifting a 6mm fresh dropped bead and small roe bag. Still wan't getting anything but at least I had confidence in this pattern so I kept fishing it until it paid off, float drops, short fight and a beautifully coloured hen comes to the bank. Here are some pics.

The rig of choice.

Confidence after a good 2 days of skunking regained!

Found this guy after I nearly stepped on him.

Toward the end of the day I also found this. I'm not sure what it's from, I'm guessing a small fawn (TBH it actually felt A LOT like caribou hair, but somehow I doubt it is ) sorry for the bad pic quality but any guesses? I'm guessing it was taken down by a coyote...

That's it, only one trout and some pesky chubs but good to be on the river again!

Yup, there is a totem pole in there, but looks more like an eagle's head to me.

it will be ready to go before i am

What's wrong?

You certainly did better than I! Great fish there

 

That was my exact expression when i first found out about the list last year on another board.

 

With the backwood lakes...further away from the road the better. The good ones you usually cant drive to.

Look for drop offs....rocks they can "suntan" on....trees in the water.

Panther Martins tipped with worms or minnows are my go to baits

how do you ice fish with a spinner?

 

 

2nd paragraph:

Ostriches don't stick their heads in the sand (They run like the wind). Even if we were to except that myth I'm not sure how it is relevant, but I'm sure you will enlighten me.

 

I believe that they actually duck to hide in the grass.

Can we stop this bickering and get back to Harper?

Id say that's a good bow for anyone, congrats!

Going into the lottery ticket account Lew?
