Not sure, but maybe the French River Trading Post or one of the Lodges in the area got some to sell, I'd call around to ask. Good Luck on the Trip.

No idea how it'd Work if it does, but maybe Freeze it so the Water turns to Ice & Pour out the Gas/Remove the Ice.

Automotive Franks RedHot?

Yep, & 15HP Engines according to the Rates Page: Was mainly looking for word from people who used them before about condition/maintenance & whatnot, maybe Fuel Economy info also. If your sure, then sure. Just send me a PM & I'll give you my Address for Shipping, Postal Code is N0B 2M0 if you want to get a Shipping Quote 1st.

Yeah, I'd call myself a novice, not much Fishing Experience. Really got into it with the trip to the French back in 2013, had that much fun I Broke Down & Cried (at the age of 24, currently 28) because I didn't want to leave, I wanted to stay & do more Fishing, I Don't think I've been Fishing since (Maybe once on a Licence Free Family Fish Day or whatever, can't really remember, that may have been before the trip to the French) until this year at a spot like a 9-10 minute or so drive away, but I don't have a Drivers licence or anything so I Can't go whenever I want. Here's the link to my Introduction thread back in 2013 if anyone is interested: http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70350

10-4, thanks for the Tips. So here's what I'm thinking: 10 pack of 1/8 oz White Jigs: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/lead-jighead-0786713p.0787760.html 20 Pack of 3" White Grubs for $4: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/matzuo-boxed-grub-0787959p.0787959.html Total after Taxes would be $9.58 + I Have 2 1/8 oz Jigs that came with my Rod/Reel along with some Grubs & 3/8 oz Walking Sinkers (Any tips in regards to the Walking Sinkers?), this is what I Have: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/cmf-walleye-fishing-kit-0785664p.html For People that have been to Rainbow Camp, Any info about the Rental Boats & are Maps available there? we have a Old Map from Loons Landing but it don't cover the North Channel. Edit: Also need a Stringer (or Keepnet) as my Brother can't find/lost the Stringer he had, any recommendations?

What would you recommend for Jigs? Just looked at the Canadian Tire Website & found these 3 options of 10 packs for $3.69-4.49: Danielson Unpainted Jig Head Tube for $3.69, Shows my closest store (Waterloo West) only got 1/4 oz: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/danielson-unpainted-jig-head-tube-10-pk-0787763p.html Danielson Painted Lead Jig Head, Black, 1/16 oz for $4.49: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/danielson-painted-lead-jig-head-black-1-16-oz-10-pk-0787754p.html Redwolf Lead Jighead for $4.49, available in various Weights & Colours, all but the 3/8 oz Black is available at my Closest Store: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/lead-jighead-0786713p.html

10-4 on the Rock Bass, I'll keep that in mind. as for lures, I already plan on using them up at the French (I Have a Spoon, Spinner & that new Popper I got along with 2 Jig Heads with some 3" Powerbait (Grubs & Minnows) & a Night Crawler Harness rig), it's just where I'm fishing for now(Conostogo River at the Line 86 Bridge outside Wallenstein) isn't Very deep so it's safer to use Hook & Bobber or Top Water Lures. Any inexpensive Pencil/Slip Floats you guys recommend? I was looking when I got my new Lure at Canadian Tire but I'm not sure what to look for when it comes to Bobbers/Floats, I'm currently using a Orange (Foam?) Bobber that my brother had.

Another Update: Went Fishing by Myself Today, got Dropped Off at the Fishing Spot Today to do 3-3.5 Hours of Solo Fishing, and Long Story Short, I only caught 1 Fish & I got a New Lure Yesterday that I got about a dozen or so casts with before I left with no luck. The Fish I caught, Not Sure if a Small/Young Smallmouth, or a Sunfish of some kind, if a Bass it was my 1st Bass, either way I released it cause I know Bass is OOS & I'm not interested in keeping Sunfish: As for the New Lure, I wanted a Top Water Lure for when I go Fishing there, so I went to Canadian Tire Yesterday & Bought a Lunkerhunt Kraken Popper with the Eruption Scheme: http://www.lunkerhunt.com/kraken_popper.html Never used it till like the last 15 minutes or so with no luck, was mainly Fishing with Hook & Bobber with Worms on that was bought like 3 Weeks ago so need to be used up.

The Fish'n Canada Show

Went back with my Uncle after supper (Got there about 10 after 6), Managed to Get my 1st Catch of the Year That's also the 1st Catch with my new Rod, it was a Minnow of some kind, different than the one my Uncle caught earlier today:

Yep, your correct about it being a Minnow, IDK Why I thought it was a Perch. As for type of Minnow, I'm thinking some kind of Shiner due to the Forked Tail.

Me, Mom & my Uncle went back to fishing yesterday, spent some time there but no luck, more bad luck for me as I decided to try using a lure. Couldn't find my Silver Williams Wabler so Ended using my Perch Storm Kickin' Minnow, after some practice casting it out & retrieving using stop & go/lift & drop it ended up snagging on the bottom but my Uncle ended up getting it free, done more practice while my uncle was gone back to the Jeep to try putting a lure on for him to try, while he was gone I ended up getting snagged again & in the process of trying to get it unsnagged the line broke & I lost the lure, instead of risking losing another lure I went back to hook & bobber. Today we went back again, I ended up having some nibbles but that was it, my Uncle on the other hand ended up catching a Small Perch (I Think? I say small, but I haven't seen a normal sizes Perch, but it's bigger than the small things I caught 4 years ago on the French River): We kept it with plans to maybe cut it up to use as bait instead of worms (However in hindsight after some Research, I'm not sure if it's allowed or not, if it's a Yellow Perch then likely not, at least not the edible parts, the uneatable parts (Head, Fins, Guts, ETC) could be used, but if it's a Trout-Perch then it can be used as a Bait Fish.) After that we kept fishing for a while with no luck. While we were packing up getting ready to leave though I looked around In the water & came across something I thought was a school of Tadpoles or Minnows, but my uncle said it could be young/baby Trout with thorns on the side? I tried to take some pics but it was really hard to identify them so I didn't bother keeping them. then shortly after that we saw some kind of animal swim across the water & climb up on the shore & run off, my Uncle ran off back to the Jeep not knowing what it was & I caught a glimpse of it (Looked Black to me?) but couldn't get a good look to identify it & my Mom didn't see it, our guesses are that it was either a Otter or a Mink. While loading up the Jeep I Took 2 pics of a sign that's in the parking area there: Species (Stocked Brown Trout, Northern Pike, Stocked Walleye & Smallmouth Bass): And a map (We were at Spot #4 on the Map): Here's a pic from last weekend I didn't think about posting before, a Heron we saw when we got to Glen Allan: I also confirmed with my Brother that it's Rainbow Camp we're going to for the Canada Day Long Weekend, cottage & boat w/ Motor is booked & deposit is paid for the week, It's just a matter of everyone going to pay their share of the costs. We might be going back Fishing after supper, but I doubt it.

Hi all, 1st post here since 2013 before me & my family went up to the French River. Anyway, IIRC I Haven't Went Fishing since then, but we'll be going up there this year for a week around the Canada Day Long Weekend, I think it's Rainbow Camp we'll be staying at though so it'll be a different part of the French this time (Was at Loons Landing last time, that's on Dry Pine Bay, this time when we go up it'll be the North Channel). To prepare for the Vacation I went & bought a Rod & Reel of my own last week, a Shakespeare Catch More Fish Walleye then yesterday me, my brother & uncle went & got our Outdoors Card & Sport Licence (1 Year for me & my brother, 3 Years for my uncle). To wet some line the family went Fishing today on the Conestogo River, 1st Stop was Glen Allan where we Fished for awhile but had no luck, then we drove around for a while looking for another spot. We ended up stopping just outside Wallenstein at the Line 86 Bridge, after a while of fishing, my youngest niece got the 1st catch of the year, a Small Catfish: I Had a few nibbles but no luck, hopefully me, my brother & uncle can go back there next weekend while my sister in law & nieces are gone to Girl Guide Camp, maybe we can use lures next time instead of Bobbers & Worms, i'm itching to try my Silver Honeycomb Williams Wabler, seeing as Bass is OOS & I caught a Walleye & Pike in the past, my target next weekend if we go is a Brownie (Brown Trout).

just got back today, Pics: My Brother, My 8 Year old Niece, Me and my mom in boat getting ready to go out at Roughly 6:30 AM on Monday: First Catch of trip, a Pike my brother caught during first trip out in boat: My first catch of the trip, Sunfish, caught and released 4 like this one in a row in the same spot within minutes of each other (Second one didn't make it), this is Sunfish #1: After Sunfish, Came a Small Perch a few feet over in the same spot: My First Catch in Boat, a Sunfish: a Big Pike my Brother Caught (25 Inch IIRC?): First Small Perch I caught in Boat: 2 Pike my Brother caught after supper when he took my 2 nieces and his wife out in boat for the first time of the trip: Next Day, My First Big Catch, A Walleye (Only Walleye of trip), Caught in the same place my brother caught his first and only Walleye: Then my brother caught a Pike (Or 2) Before I caught my next Big Fish in the same spot, My First Pike, Pic is of my brother trying to free my Pike from The Lure(And Net): Pic of My Brother and me Holding up the stringer with fish on them with my nieces next to me: Next Day, I Caught my 3rd (And Last) Big One of the trip, a Pike (Was Thinking of Musky due to bars/stripes on it), My Mom and Niece also got their first Big Ones, a Smallmouth and Either a Largemouth or Big Smallmouth Bass, Pic is of all 3 on the Stringer (Note: I Lost My Brother's lure I used to catch all 3 of my fish with that boat ride, Went to Cast and SNAP! Snapped the line and bye bye lure that caught my first Big Fish): Picked up 3 Lures at the French River trading post, never got to test them out in boat therefore never caught fish with them, They are: Williams Wobbler 1/2 oz Silver Honeycomb, Blue Fox Vibrax Spinner Blade Size 2 3/16 oz Firetiger/Firetiger and a Storm Kicking Minnow Perch, total cost after taxes for the 3 Lures Was $21.09: Last time out in boat for trip, my mom then my brother each caught one of these sucker fish (Through them back out after being told they're no good to keep: Pic of Cottage and vehicles (1999 GMC Jimmy and 1998 GMC Safari) while packing and loading vehicles on the last day.

just spent a week at loons landing in cottage #2, it was a nice place, I liked it there and would recommend it. Looking at rates on their website, I would say if it's just you going to get #4 or 5 as it's a 1 bedroom that can accommodate 2 people, cost as per their website should be $565 for the week including launching your boat and docking. if you can get ahold of a camping trailer/rv or a tent, a natural campsite would be $180 per week and a Hydro and Water Site would be $240 Per Week, Boat costs would be $50 Per Week for Docking and $10 Launch Fee (In And Out). if you want to check them out, here is their website: http://www.loonslanding.ca/index.shtml

We Might be heading through there tomorrow to get to the French River, WISH US LUCK!

well I'm not really into lures, normally just put the bait on a hook, attach a bobber and cast, but my brother got lures and stuff, I don't know what kind he got though. I also never mentioned but he picked up a lowrance Portable Fishfinder we'll be using also (Mark-5x I think?).

I'm Hopeing to catch some bass and maybe a Pike or 2 But it doesn't really matter as long as I have Fun.

Hi, I'm a New Member here, My name is Jeremy, i'm a 24 Year Old SWM, I Currently Live Between St. Agatha and Waterloo, Ontario But i'm originally From Newfoundland and Labrador, Moved to Ontario back on September 1st 2001. I'm Not really into Fishing that much but that's due to the fact that I don't have my own vehicle and my family don't fish often But I Will be heading up North on Saturday for the Canada Day Long Weekend and the Following Week With My Family to Loons Landing in Alban on the French River (Dry Pine Bay), We Will be Renting a Cottage and a Boat while there and hopefully there will be a Lot of Fishing and Fish Caught this Weekend. My Question is, Has anyone been up around there lately as in within the week to last month or so that can give some kind of fishing report? As For Gear, I Have my Brothers Old Silstar 78-4642-4 Rod With a Brand New Shakesphere Durango DSC8(DurangoSC15B) Closed Face Reel That Came with 8Lb Line on it and some Fake Bait (Berkley Gulp!
