Welcome to the community,

and great report.

I have one of these, got it at WallyWorld (Walmart)

It combines the compartment abilty of soft sides, with the tuffness of a

traditional tackle box.

However, I still use my soft side more than this thing, Its just too awkward,

unless your fishing from a boat.

Great Job!! Fly tying is alot of fun, especially in the off season.

Here's a link you might enjoy, hundreds of patterns, and all with step by step pics.

Marko,

Visit Grand River Troutfitters in Fergus. Take your time on a purchase, I know I bought a kit rod for my first fly rod, (St.Croix), but since then I have spent more on better rods, and what a difference it makes when casting.

Good luck, and welcome to Fly Fishing, it will consume you.

I would have to say that if it truly is a World Record contender I would harvest it. There is nowadays too much controversy over "record" fish, even the current record held by Louis Spray. To prevent any detractors from saying otherwise it would have to be brought in to be verified by reliable sources, and not some Joe, at the Marina.

I agree with the others its most likely nitrates/nitrites. I would add some live plants, and get a bigger filter, the aqua clear line of filters, are easy to maintain, and are realatively inexpensive. I recomend on your tank (20 gal) a Aquaclear 70 especially with Koi, they tend to "poop" alot.

Also fished there last weekend, 6 guys went up and only got 5 fish, and all pretty small.

I have an Olympus Stylus 770SW

It's 7.1 meg, has image stabilizer, waterproof to 33 feet, crushproof up to 220lbs, and freeze proof to -10 C.

I've had it since, March, and I have no complaints.

Rosedale.

The books put out by Creative publishing, are excelent, and you can find them at most Walmarts, and Canadian Tire stores.

I have most of them, and find them to be quite informative.

Binbrook is actually pretty good, any where AWAY from the main boat launch. Try heading to the dam, or take the path that goes along the left side of the main road/ lake.

I've caught some decent sized smallmouths, and largemouths.

Also go to the Tyneside Road entrance. A bit more of a walk to the water.

You can also rent canoes at the main gate, its a big lake.

Thanks for the charts Zamboni.

Here is another link with videos.

Welcome to flyfishing bowshep. It can consume you. Danbo is right that video with Doug Swisher is quite good, I would also recomend Panfish & Bass Flyfishing basics with Larry Dahlberg, he explains the basics of flycasting in such simple and easy terms. Also check with a local flyshop, if they have any beginner classes, I took ones with Rick Whorwood, and I have to admit when someone who knows what there doing can tell you right away how to correct your mistakes, it really helps.

Good Luck.

Welcome to the Forum.

Although alot of people consider suckers to be a "garbage" fish, fishing for them can be quite fun, on a fly rod.

Similar to sight fishing for bonefish, suckers are very skittish, but will put up a decent fight.

How many times have you been out steelheading, when you thought you had a good bow on, only to find a

sucker at the end of your line (no pun intended)?

Hey Egg Shen,

Check out Thills web site, and download the pdf's about rig floats, it should give you some good ideas.

Make sure you look at all the tips down the side of the page too.

Good Luck.

Welcome to OFC Super Dave,

Try out some of the conservation areas in Southern Ontario, since a majority of them do not allow motorized boats, a float tube would be a great way to get around them.

Some of my favorite ones are

Mountsberg

Vallens

Binbrook

Good Luck.

Follow this link to an article on using a casting bubble, you will need adobe to read it.
