Hey all!

cant wait to fish!

rented a cottage for teh may long weekend, Otter Lake, near dorset.

Anyone familiar with the lake?

I hope they have more than just bass in there!!

thanks for your help guys!

wheres the pic of the 'ski??

Strong....but probably accurate. I see nothing offensive in his post. As a matter of fact it strikes me as positive as he suggests educating those who are unaware of our limits perhaps due to a language/cultural barrier.

yes and no.

suggesting to educate the masses (not simply certain anglers based on their culture/language) is great.

Making assumptions of catch and release habbits based on a groups race... not great.

im done with this one. dont want to open that can a worms!

i wonder if chinese ppl are caught poaching more than other races. i think this is a cultural thing, but most chinese fishermen don't release their fish. we need better education for c&r in this community.

thats a strong statement...

i only access mitchell through the trent, dont know where the boat launch is located.

There is a public launch at canal. unfortunately, road names in the area ellude me, hopefully someone else can chime in here...

No its called a float tube. Weighs about 5 lbs, my waders fins and camping equipment plus food are all carried in or strapped to one back pack. Can carry enough stuff to last a week. I wouldnt go that hardcore for anything less than 5 days. We park at designated parking areas after unloading all the gear. One person stays with the gear other person parks and bikes back were we lock bike up to a tree. Works great.

ahh i c....

very nice

keep the tourist dollars, there damaging MY resources

that wawa news site is interesting...

check out this story, busted with garbage bags of walters and muskies in APRIL!

BRUTAL

shoulda banned em for 10 years

i woul ban them from fishing up here for LIFE, Charge em, fine em.

end of story

whens the last time you caught a ski there??? or a walter?

not what it used to be, by a long shot.

i agree, big bass growin in the slop for sure

then you could fair well...

rip spinnerbaits n buzzbaits overtop teh weeds.

Balsam is a short drive from canal and ive just experienced more variety and success in Balsam

not to mention Mitchell lake....

you don't get off the pavement much do you

hahaha not as much as i'd like!

what gave that one away???

Yep this is what I feel no motorized access. Ive humped 30k through the bush to get on some flyin only type places with no access. Anywhere you can drive to Yahoos are sure to follow. That said the no fishing regs that Jocko talked about are pure crap. If some can fish there all should be able to fish there.

so you and your boys strap a canoe to your back and hike 30K up the logging roads?

how long does that take ya?

AND do you just park your car at the mouth of the private road?

wow thats Bull!

im intrigued, i wouldnt be able to resist the urge to burn up that road quick times!

im just sayin...

lol

running leadcore in kipawa for lakers ROCKS!

good times

i drove by that river on my way up to the french river. i have to admit it caught my eye as well, looks like a beautiful river i need to hit up one a these days

i would go to balsam instead if i were you, canal is cabbage soup this time a year...

get a calendar bud

five of diamonds.

replaced it with a red devil.

haaaaha!

when theres lots of slop i rig em texas style, embed the tip just under the skin n if theres a stiff current use the gamagatsu hooks with the weighted shank.

works for me!

beauty lake, lots of open water in the middle, and the wind can pick up there.

i have only ever fished Bark lake for Smallmouth. Did great workin the mouth of the river coming into the lake and workin humps along the main basin in about 35ft of water.

depending on the weather/conditions you should be able to find em with the help of some electronics OR a good topo map

ahahhahaha

i thought i was the only one!!

what is she an escort or something??

tooo funny man

awesome resort, great bunch of guys workin there!

check out the basement of the main lodge when your there, prolly about $1000 worth of empties used to make walls, furniture, etc! lol

the main lake was awful while we were there! NADA! funny enough we heard countless stories of guys walkin outta the lake with garbage bags full of walters! love those stupid stories, wanna give guys a shake when i hear them!!

the backlakes are where it is at when visiting Auld Reekie!!

They have a bass lake which still stands as my fav bass lake all time, cant remember the name of the lake but it could be elkhorne?!

they had another lake for walleye and pike that rocked! near the main lodge, you portage through a river to get in.

my condolences to you adn your family
