I like the nylon rod gloves. I have a few rods. So the initial investment was the price of a rod but in the long term it's money well spent imo.

Ya saw that. Better beaf-up to 4lb flouro for that bad-boy.

But you didn't take the temperature of your solutions. The ice/salt/water would have been below zero degrees Celsius. The water/ice would not be below zero.

Nice day of fishin'.

Nice little mention on Outdoor Canada's site. http://outdoorcanada.ca/21622/blogs/field-findings/fish-a-thon-for-a-cure-is-growing-into-a-major-event?utm_source=Outdoor+Canada+Newsletter&utm_campaign=d10034f687-Outdoor_Canada_June_276_26_2012&utm_medium=email

Thanks for the tip. I signed up, added a $7 lure to the $99 reel and with shipping it's $101.49 US. And thanks to John for the original lead.

Used to spend hours finding them with a mask and snorkle.

Someone needs to post a photo of an Atlantic, I mean brown trout.

You would know.

Stealing that.

Warm spring kick started things this year.

Thank goodness for hockey talk.

There might be a few others that need professional help.

Puncture wounds can be nasty, keep an eye on it and you may need professional help.

I did use a few qualifiers that might have been missed. I've got some glide baits that I could pull with a rope and the action would be the same. I also have some subtle minnow baits that have a deadened action even with 20lb fluoro. As with braid, I had to learn to tie different knots when using fluoro.

… and some of us aren't even experts.

The cap hit (per year or term) for bobby-lou really isn't the issue for me. It's what do the leafs trade for him? And what's with the 6 inches between his ears? I'd really like JP's son in T.O. and he only costs you money, unlike Nash. The problem is, does he want to play here? And will the leafs give him the term that another team might offer him?

L.A. and Phoenix had who for back-ups?

Managing water bodies is tricky stuff. Part science, part art and some voodo. Some pike may not be a bad thing as they would keep the panfish and small bass in check. I've fished a few ponds that had nothing but 1lb bass in them. Boring!

And the tinfoil liner is also a safety feature.

Pike lures don't cost 25-65 dollars?

With flouro the idea is that you can use a higher test line that is less visible than the equivalent lb test mono. Depending on the size and action of your lure the action may not be impacted too much. I have also used a coated "tieable" wire line when I am fishing walleye but pike are a real possibility. I think it works better for walleye lures and presentations then heavier flouro. I like braid and use it a lot but I find it does not stand up to teeth and rocks as well as its lb test would lead you to believe. It's break strength is great but its abrasion resistance more closely matches its diameter. Wire/flouro leader and even mono sometimes works for me.
