OP, I am an attorney and I highly suggest you contact a lawyer. What area are you located? Were you or the other party insured?

are you guys using the regular suction cup transducer or the ice transducer ?

where is this bellwood location you guys speak of?

sell me your 160 once you get the newer one

rouge river has plenty of bullhead

So I did some further research (reviewed all the CT fliers from the past year) and wrote down the lowest sale prices of the different waders they offer. The following were the lowest sale prices along with the date of the sales $199 breathable Explorer boot waders - $99 (August 3, Sept 21, May 3, June 14) $129 Explorer boot waders - $ 78 (April 26) $119 Explorer boot waders - $ 60 (April 12) $69 pvc waders - $35 (April 19) Also, the $199 breathable waders will be on sale again next week for $99

his office is claiming it was a 20kg pike...... bahahahaha

I use these floats They can handle 6 inch suckers no problem

There are two kinds of Explorer chest waders at Canadian Tire for $129. Can you tell me which one you're talking about? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Fishing/WadersFishingApparel/PRD~0771508P/Chest+Waders.jsp?locale=en http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Fishing/WadersFishingApparel/PRD~0771500P/Neoprene+Chest+Waders.jsp?locale=en

So now that I'm getting my steelhead gear ready for the run this fall, I was looking into getting some waders. Problem is that I've ready though many threads of people saying that Canadian tire has some good waders when on sale, but they never really say which waders. They just say "go get the Canadian Tire waders". So can someone tell me which of their waders are the good ones and which of them are the junk? This pair is on sale this week but I don't know whether it's good. It's also a stocking foot wader while I would like to get a boot foot wader (will keep the cost down if i dont have to buy seperate wading boots). http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/5/SportsRec/Fishing/WadersFishingApparel/PRDOVR~0770006P/Stocking+Foot+Wader.jsp?locale=en Lebaron also has a set of Hodgman waders on sale of $58, but again I can't find any good info on those. http://www.lebaron.ca/pdf_files_sp13/2013specials_patagonia.pdf I'll also make a WTB thread in the classified section if anyone has a pair they want to sell. Thanks, B

where do you get the Riverwood worms? Lebaron doesnt seem to have them and all the gulp / powerbait ones are floating worms

Question though, what size pink worm should I get? Leberin sells like 6 different kinds (i.e. gulp, gulp in jar, powerbait ... Etc)

I ended up getting a Fenwick 9'6" Medium 8-12lb salmon/steelhead rod

you're probably just going to a bad CT. Many of them are franchise owned so the operator at your store could just be an ass.

i have an abu garcia blackmax baitcaster

i thought people liked the Shimano Sienna basically this is what I want to be able to do (fish the trib rivers during runs).... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o500c-YB2xQ and the reason why I want to get my gear now is because Lebaron has a tax free sale this week so I can save 15% My initial thought was to get the diawa acculite and shimano sienna but now I'm confused

No I don't really care about pier duty, I just want to be able to fish credit and bowmanville ect. I just thought that river fishing rquifed ultra light line with a very flexible rod.

So are you saying that I should get a 4-8lb rod lengthy rod and use 10-12 lb mono on it?

yes, lots of bass and pike gear. A med heavy baitcaster and a med uglystick

So if I get a stiffer rod and not a noodle rod, will I be able to use 4 or 6 lb test line? How do you use a stiffer rod with light line? Wouldn't the stiff rod just brake off the line?

Thanks bill, is there any specific rod you would recommend at the same price point?

so im going to take it that you don't think the Daiwa acculite is a good rod?

So I started doing a bit of steelhead fishing in the tributaries last year and now that I've been going salmon fishing with a buddy in Lake Ontario I want to get ready for the fall salmon / steelhead run. I'm currently looking for a budget rod and reel for drift / float fishing in the tributaries. The key is "budget" since my work contract recently ended and I'm currently unemployed. As for reels, which one of the following three would you guys recommend - Shimano Sienna 2500 ($34) http://www.basspro.com/Shimano-Sienna-Rear-Drag-Spinning-Reels/product/12082905322468/ - Abu Garcia Cardinal S s20 ($29) http://www.basspro.com/Abu-Garcia-Cardinal-S-Spinning-Reels/product/1207260456525/ - Diawa Crossfire-3bi 3000 ($25) http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=636 - Mitchell Avocet IV Silver Series 3000 ($29) http://www.cabelas.com/product/Mitchell-reg-Avocet-IV-Silver-Spinning-Reel/1433677.uts Are all these reels practically equal or are some substantially better? Furthermore, what do you guys think about the following budget intro rods - Diama Acculite 10'6" light action noodle rod ($49) http://www.daiwa.com/rod/detail.aspx?id=532 - Fenwick Eagle GT 9'6" med action steelhead rod ($60) http://www.fenwickfishing.com/prod.php?k=472637&sk=472637&p=PUREGTS%20862M%20(1238605) - okuma Celilo 10' med light graphite rod ($53) https://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/rods/salmon-steelhead/celilo Please let me know if you have any other recommendations or whether you have an old rod or reel laying around. Best, Bahram

there's actually a by-law banning fishing from that area (the sign is beside the dock). You're only permitted to fish from the south shore. Nice fish though!

you should ask Italo, he seems to have done this a couple times.
