Welcome and I bet the B.C trip was amazing can't wait to read the report

I always wet my feet before the first cast and I never use a fresh leader until after the first cast

Great job Moxie!!!! Two thumbs up!!!

Holy crap that sling shot was pretty sweet..... You can actually see the steel ball come back and hit him in the noodle!!!! Hope he was ok after going to the hospital. Safety gear should have totally been worn when testing that out. That ball shot back hard

I am a newbie here and I'm still kinda new to Canada as I immigrated here from California. That being said I don't post a lot but I do read a lot of the posts here. I don't know a lot about fishing here in Canada but I am learning and this place has been great for me because I didn't know the ins and outs of what type of baits to use and setups to use etc. there are a lot of great people here and there is a ton of knowledge here on the site. I do plan on going to events so i can meet people from here. I feel I know some of you just from reading your posts all the time but it would be nice to meet people in person. I am one of those people out there that doesn't know we're to go as far as fishing spots but that doesn't stop me from tring. I am on google maps all the time looking for areas around we're i live. As far as venturing out of my area I would be one of those people that would ask but only after doing research. And come to think of it i think I have asked but that was my fault for not doing my research first. But all in all I would like that thank all of you here for the help wether it be from responding to my posts or from me reading yours. Thanks Steven

Angling Specialties 325 Central Pky W, Mississauga, ON L5B 3X9 They sell roe also that's were I get mine at... They sell pre- made roe bags and they sell loose eggs also so you can make your own bags up

My condolences to you and your family Albert.

Hopping for all the best for you and your family...My heart and prayers go out to you and your family

Thanks went there today and got worms and roe... Any decent spots to fish here we were at the dock by a big steel ship but no luck

Hello all I'm up in Owen Sound right now camping and I was just wondering if anyone would know we're I could get worm and live bait here...thanks in advance

Thanks ChrisK can't wait to get on the river I have yet to catch a Steelhead or Salmon since coming to Canada and i"m looking forward to haveing some of them on the end of the Okuma. I did manage to find a pick of a carp I landed down at Port Credit a couple years ago. And i used it as a profile pick...and keeping it simple is what I like to do best.

I like to think of myself as open minded when it come to learning something new about fishing and I did warm the rod up and when I bent it it did not break and I can't wait to give this rod a shot after I get the casting down with it...the okuma I have is 13.6' and its a 3piece rod. And being just a beginner in float fishing I'm open to any and all suggestions that are going to help and make it easier for me my first time out on the river. I know it's going to take time to get used to it and to me that's going to be the challenge and I can't wait to catch my first fish on it..it's easy to let the drag do the work for you on a spinning reel but to be able to fight the fish on a reel with no drag has got me excited. Thanks for all the advice about rods

I have fished rainbows and browns on spinning rods and even bait casting rods...I'm not new to fishing been soon it for years I have been in Canada for about 2 years now...immigrated up to Canada from California. And when I got into fishing up here I noticed tons of people on the river with float rods and it sparked my interest I. Giving it a shot now I am excited to try this new style of fishing and the more I can learn about it the more I want to get on the river

I warmed up the rod for about 20min. And man my arm is hurting LOL and I bent the rod and it bends really nice didn't want to go to far just in case...I like the weight and feel of the rod I am going to keep it and give it shot...can't wait to start practicing casting with it
