Ill deffinitely try both when ice allows me to. Is valens worth going to? I was told it is expensive but no one knows what the fishing is like?

Hey guys, I'd just like to say that in the past few months, following some threads and reading some articles has taught me a lot. I've not had a chance to go ice fishing yet and was wondering if anyone could point in the right direction. I'd like to stay within cambridge and am willing to fish for anything that bites. I fish only for the sport but do want to stay legal all the way. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm stuck on using the equipment I have. I have an ugly stick, which I hear is good for salmon and a stanley rod with a dawai reel. I've got the ugly stick done up with 20lbs braid. Should I use a steal leader or a monofill one or won't make a difference. I am fortunate to have a few cleo lures already. Thanx for all the help and suggestions. I'm stoked to get out there if I can find the time.

Title says it all. I want to hook into a salmon but know very little about what rigs to use (and what I have to buy) and how to use the rigs in general. I live in cambridge so I'm asuming credit river would be my closest salmon location. So can anyone point me in a general area along that river to go. Any and all help/suggestions will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your issue is a serious leak. The water building up over time has caused the cracks and the leaks. I recommend to you to dig it and wash it as u stated and apply a role on seeler. I also would use the same material they now use on newer home wich is a black concrete vapour barrier. It will give your foundation a fighting chance. Doing all this with your drainage tile, stone will do the job. If you want to make extra sure and want to be able to remove any water sitting the re that won't drain, you can have all your drainage run to a low point with a pipe coming up to your finish grade ( large enough to fit a pump into). If you look into it you can find metal removable lids for these pipes so if cut to the right elevation, wouldn't be a havard and be barelly noticable. Hope that helps.

Catching anything is nice but you always have to a great day every once and a while. The spot I was at doesn't usually produce any big bass but it suprised me today. I didn't want to leave.

So after a while of looking and searching I found a fishing hole that isn't too popular. I've been there a few time with my son (3 years old) and few on my own and have yet to get skunked. I use to never catching anything over 8-10" long. But today the rain brought me luck. I set up mine and my son's lines and the bobber bounces and gone. I start reeling it in and wow what a fight! I reel the sucker in and its a 3 pound bass. Cast out again and caught few little rainbows. I start to lose the hype from the big bass and was waiting on my next little trout and my line starts running again. Another big bass. I ended the day with 4 largies, a rock bass and 6 or so little trout. All in all a great day fishing and the boy was happy as could be.

No one is pulling anything big out of there. It really is fished out. Traffic from shore is crazy and really too low to catchj anything besides bluegill.

Thinking of taking my boy out tomorro but don't want to waist my time if the weeds are too much. I'm fishing from shore so would anyone be able to tell me if ill have any luck?

That's a great video. Gunna try that.

Deffinitely going to try a place out. I am also gunna go barbless, set the drag down, fight for a bit then leg it get off the hook. Gunna use big bait with small hooks and hope for the best. Thanks all for the help

Thanx for the heads up. I called the number and its a pet groomers. Number must have changed. I was going to go there just with my son (he's 3 so he'll cast only a few times). Want to have a trout on the line to see what the hype is about.

Thank you. Have u gone there yourself? Any good?

I've caught 2 dozen worms this way the day before I went fishing and the worms still lasted me all day. After putting them in the fridge over night tho

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction to a pay to fish pond any where close to cambridge. Directions and prices would be great. Thanx in advance.

I have been getting upset with the worm prices here in cambridge (3.50 to 4.50) so I've found a way to pick my own worms from the ground. First get a fairly large buck. I use I five gallon. Add a cup of dishsoap and fill the rest of the way with water. Spread it out over an area of dirty. I tend to look for places that get a lot of shade. Sit there with a bucket with topsoil and pick away. Works well. But like fishing the spots are hit or miss. Best of luck.

Yush_gta that is one awesome set up. I've been wanting something to hit the extra angles of a lake and this would be perfect. Tx for sharing

I would love to put up a pic of it but I don't know how to with my mobile phone. Its the only thing I use. It is a nice looking reel. But I'd rather up grade if I could.

I have a baitcasting reel that looks brand new and its still in the box with leather case and oil. Its from 1974 and it says heddon. I put some line on the reel, followed the instructions on how to use it and can't get the hang of it. So I'm thinking of selling or trading it but can't seem to find the value. Any suggestions?

Thank you that tutorial was very informative and a huge help. Would u suggest I try somewhere different than down from the dam?

I was going to try just down from the parkhill dam in cambridge. And thanks for the advice. I'm going to look into that blowback rig you are talking about. Is "chuming the water" putting a scent into the water?

I'm going to go down to the grand river and try to catch some carp. I've never fished for it before so I was just wondering if anyone has some suggestions on how to hook onto one. I've heard to use corn but is it truely a good bait? Any help or advice would be great, thanks.

I've been fishing for only 2 years but have taken a great passion for it. And I've tried many places out around cambridge but the place I always end up going to to "atleast catch a few" is wrigleys lake. Now I come to here that ythey didn't spray the lake this year so the weeds are really high, and I also have seen people catch far over their limits in panfish. I show up to see a man who had 4 empty cans of worms and 2 big pales filled with bluegill and crappy. I mean full. He had a hard time to carry them. I sat there for two hours not catching a thing besides catfish. I wish people wouldn't abuse such a great resource. I had to rant. Because now it seems I have very few shoreline spots to fish due to others.

Hi there, I have spent many hours looking for hints of where trout are in cambridge but I can never seem to find any. I have tried many sections of the grand river and a few creeks people have mentioned to me but no luck. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Any specific spots along the grand?
