Your fishing partner is very good looking! Glad to hear that you had another good day out there

LOL , thanks for the upgrade! I think there has been a misunderstanding, Cliff caught a sucker Thanks SNAP

LOL Cliff caught a real beauty just after you left on the weekend.

Thanks Glen Stay tuned you say?? Weather was nice enough that I almost took my jacket off lol

Nice Brown!!! Too bad we didn't have a chance to chat, maybe next time Some of that water today was ugly! lol Nice that you were able to get a few today!!

Great report you two! Something is seriously wrong here....I'm at the office working, with a bad back....and you're out fishing with CC. LOL. Edit....Cliff wrote this...didn't pay attention to who was logged in.....LOL

I got a PM from Canadiancopper saying that for my birthday, he'd like take me fishing for some chrome! I scrambled to make arrangements for watching the children and I was all set. It's always a learning experience fishing with him...my only instructions were to tie up some roe bags. We met at 7am and headed to trib number 1. Conditions were high and muddy, but we decided to try a few drifts anyways. We tried a few different spots, but decided that we wouldn't waste a whole lot of time here. Back to the car and off to trib number 2. Conditions here were better...waters stained and windy! We start drifting when I spy some structure. On my second drift, the float goes down and I start a tussle with a fair sized male steelie. Once it was landed, it was pretty feisty and I barely got a chance to take a pic before it squirmed a little to much and made it's way to the water. My camera took a strange pic, but I know....no pic, no proof....well, here it is....and I swear, I didn't use photoshop. A while later, I was aiming to drift by some structure again and after a few attempts at getting it where I wanted, my float goes down. CC at this point was pretty far from me when I landed it, but someone who was close by was nice enough to take this pic for me. CC did pretty well too.....landing a few himself.... All in all, had a great day out there as usual with CC. It's always a learning experience when I spend time with him out on the tribs. Thanks CC...it was a great birthday present....maybe next time you'll catch some bigger fish....LOL. (I know you let me catch the bigger ones because it was birthday....right?)

Nice job Gents!! The pictures look great and I can think of at least a few that will be drooling over the stripers! Thanks, look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures.

Thank you again friends for the birthday wishes! Thought I would share a picture of a few of my fishing related gifts GPS.....Lowrance H2O Color and the Nav Gold Chip.........Please please please can it be time to get the boat out on the lake now?? LOL Clock.....Figure this is a great way to remind me why I sometimes get up at an obnoxiously early hour to go fishing lol Book....I have been trying to purchase a copy of this book since last winter, was always out of stock. and a few other misc items from the local shops

Thanks for the post Jen, was especially nice to see on this rainy day! Trip definitely sounds like it was worth the money...congrats to you both on the fine fish and the time together!

Thanks Big Cliff. Glad that you did post, helps give the newer members a hint of how nice we can be lol and I also thought that it was a nice way to highlight that OFC is more than just a fishing board.

Congrats on the PB!! 10lbs.....can't even imagine. Thanks for sharing that Micheal.

New Angler, I would like to welcome you to the board and welcome to the sport of fishing! I see that your post is not getting the desired results, a few have commented on this and a few have added humour. I cannot imagine what you are thinking about all of this but please allow me to share what I have observed/learned about being a member here. I might normally have sent this to you via PM but this way might help some of our other new members. You will generally receive a warm welcome and more helpful comments and tips if you FIRST introduce yourself to the community, tell us a little about who you are etc.. Steelheading threads of any kind seem to get much attention this time of year, not always positive, try not to take it personal. Location requests are often viewed negatively. You tried to stress that you were not asking for anyone's secret/special spots and had more people realized that you are totally new to the sport, may have been more understanding. A suggestion for you regarding locations, get a copy of the regulations and a good map. Read them well. When I was "new", I read and reread those and spent many hours looking at maps, and driving to different locations to check for public access, parking and so forth. Many members have put a lot of effort into finding their fishing spots and are not eager to give them up. Get to know people around here though and you will be amazed.... Ok, all that being said, here is what I can offer in response to your original question. At this time, the waters I have been able to check East of Toronto are high, fast and mud. Saturday is not looking good. When the waters improve, you can fish the tribs south of the CNN Tracks to the Lake, at least the ones East of the GTA, have not fished any others so I am unsure of the regs. I wish you luck!

Afternoon Ad.....The all caps is sort of CC's trademark, get to know him and you will know that he is not "yelling", I have actually found him to be quite soft spoken in person.

Nice outing! Congratulations on the house! If you are going where I think you are in Michigan....I will be sitting around green with envy awaiting the report.....hope you are able to make it!!

Happy Belated Birthday Ryan!! Cheers!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone!! Cliff, you are safe for choosing that cake.....if one looks carefully, she is not just holding the net, there is a fish in it and it looks as if it just might be the bigger of the two! I think I will go to the tackle shops though....just because!

That is really cool! Especially enjoyed the bit about the male only showing his "nice" side to the female.......nature is amazing!

Welcome to the community Mustfish! This link might help you with the pictures.... OFC FAQ's

Happy Birthday Rocket!! Oh and you do have one redeeming quality...I think you are cute!!

can always count on your reports for a bit of humor.....Thanks Snag!! Loved the new PB. I have a few that look almost as good in back yard!

What can I say? Just wasn't my night.... It is going to be like that is it?? See if I let you stand in my spot next time! LOL WTG Cliff

Loved the report Glen! Beauty bass. Since you have posted this,I am going to assume that you were able to spend the afternoon peacefully with no incidents! Thanks Glen

Nice work out there guys!

I hope that everyone is feeling better very soon and OH...pretty please could you not sneeze/cough or generally breath in my direction......thanks!!
