simms freestone....best waders under 300, extremely confortable, great warranty, just wear a pair of long johns under your pants if you want to stay toasty

haha yea, when my boss saw him, said he was running around with tongue and junk hanging out chasing the cows lol

was this elk in lakefield? my boss went to bancroft moose hunting and said he saw a big elk chasing cows trying to breed them

Excuse my ignorance as I'm not familiar with hunting but are you able to sell the meat or can you only use it for your own personal consumption? If you can I'm guessing the elk tags lottery would be very profitable for a hunter who wins.

its illegal to sell wild game that you have harvested. unless you can prove that it came from a farm and was provincially or federally inspected, you can't do it

you know its funny how a mild conversation about a police officer getting what he deserved gets locked but yet a heated discussion about roe harvesting or government spending remains open

 

 

LOL

 

Roe gooo is nasty,but I can live with it.

its the reason why i fly fish, worms dirt and fish slime is fine....roe goop....no thanks

 

Try rinsing them in the water you're standing in!

cause that would just make too much sense

 

If you got nightcrawlers, why fool with beads Been steelheading since the 60's and over the years crawlers have banked more fish under less than ideal conditions for me than roe.

just like the idea of fishing two different baits to increase my chances

There is guys here running tiny trebles 4" below their bead, I guess thats why I am bias on this. I haven't run into anyone doing it "properly", though i havent seen a salmon come out of the creek that wasn't back hooked for about a week now either. Lol guess I can come around to this bead thing. Makes sense if the hook is within mouth distance.. i guess.

if it makes you feel better, you don't have to use a bare hook, i tend to use a maggot/wax worm or small piece of nightcrawler

google maps work.....

it is a legal setup but discretion is on the CO, if they feel your bead is too high you could get a warning or fined for using an unbaited hook

haha yea....thats the size of most peoples boats

mine is good for up to 3/4 oz, its 9.6 ft, has a ton of whip to it, from whitby pier i can hit the break wall on the other side of the harbour entrance, about 50-70yrds providing the wind isn't blowing in my face. its a cheapy pinnacle vertex light action, but can handle a salmon with ease running 15lb braid with 10lb fluoro leader

generally speaking, trout have a narrow mouth, like 3-4 inches across, so running your bead 2 inches or more above the hook will put your hook outside the mouth

check the regs, ganny open from the cn tracks to the lake only, you have about 200 yrds of river to fish, good luck

basically its the same rig you'd use for pier casting for salmon, personally i use a 9-10ft rod, some people use up to 15ft, with a 4000 size spinning reel, 15lb braid, with 6-8lb test fluoro leader, and the terminal tackle you mentioned is correct, 1oz egg sinker with a nice fat roe bag at the end, cast it out as far as you can, put your rod in a holder, sit down in a lawn chair with a cold one and wait

 

 

 

LOL I bought some last year and tried them this fall. Guess what? All the eggs were gone. Maybe I bought from a bad person that couldnt tie right. Or I was throwing to hard.

 

I was pissed.

haha yea...i use superglue on mine

beads on a fly rod??? why not an egg fly

was down there today.....what a mess, and way too many people fishing.

no construction while fish in the river....so that means it won't be done til next summer, since the steel are moving in now

Please for the non salmonoid hunters, what is "flossing"? I've Googled and Binged it, zero fishing related hits. Always need to learn something new every day.

 

Thanks

essentially its this

All floss fish i've seen were also hooked inside the mouth. Hence it's legality.

 

I'm not convinced.

how do you know its a flossed hook up if its inside the mouth where the hook should be?, where in the mouth you hook the fish, depends a lot on how the fish takes your bait, the corner hook ups come because most times the fish takes the bait and turns, sometimes you'll up under the jaw as the fish swipes but misses, or in the snout on the upper lip, has happened a few time with me on the fly. so unless the hook in the outside of the mouth, its almost impossible to tell if its been flossed

Ok, I'll split that skin with you, sound good? I reeeeaaaasllllly would like the rump feathers and maybe some of the tail.

that sounds like a plan, depending on how many skins he has

the ladder is there, theres just red tape preventing it from being finished

Yes please, don't give them to FloatnFly, he's already got a hunting friend LOL

yea but he only hunts migratory and big game lol not inland birds....can always use more hunter friends
