Musky or Specks

Ive done alot of business in the Bermuda.Its a very expensive place to live. I was offered a position there and turned it down for this reason and the fact that Ontario rocks and dispite being taxed to death I still like it here more. There is a reason they have trouble attracting skilled workers. Still very much a colonial system with the wealth in the hands of very few.

Make a point to travel across Labrador. Awesome fishing to be had right beside the highway and amazing scenery. License is dirt cheap and brookies, landlocked salmon, pike ,whitefish and lakers all available.

IN line pinners like mepps work great there for smallies and eyes. If im out in the canoe myself I will bottom bounce a bucktail jig tipped with a leach or worm along bottom. Has always worked well for the eyes there.

Summer?????Where do you live? Nice fish man

Im going to second solo's recommendation. Absolutely amazing walleye fishing.

Got into my first musky while fishing bass on Sparrow lake back in 94. Thousands of dollars later Im still tryimg to get my first 50. Just a warning.

We regularly use big spoons and they have produced fish just no monsters.

Rich saw someone fishing it today in K-Dub but Im sure it was piscatorial self abuse as the river was chocolate.

Some great lakes for fishing in early May, this time of the year not so much, enjoy the swimming and the scenery.

could you be more specific what are you targeting do you need to rent a boat etc

Never underestimate kids and their fishing abilities. My son caught his first fish all by himself flyfishing at age 2. Here he is with a couple of really good smallies that he caught all by himself when he was 5 and 6 respectively Here he is wet wading for smallies by himself at age 5 Notice that he doesnt wear a lifejacket. Thats because he started swimming lessons at 3 months of age and by the time of this photo could swim better than most adults. Prob;em is he got so good at fishing that it was to boring for him for his early teen years but hes back to loving it again and cant wait to get time off from baseball so he can head out with me some more. We're going camping and fishing for the long weekend and I cant wait probably the last summer we get to do it together for a few years as hes headed off to school in the US in fall of 2010 Im one of those who beleive we place the boundaries on what kids can accomplish. Dont impose bounderies of what they can accomplish and they will shock you with what they can achieve

If your up to some wet wading go to were the creek flows out of Cyprus Lake. There is an extensive shoal there wade out as far as you can and cast to the drop off both smallies and eyes like that spot.

Dude that is not camping. But here is one that is great for familys http://www.fishermanscove.com/ Good fishing, indoor and outdoor swimming, kids activities.

At my buddies stocked pond we tie a Trout chow fly. Never fails.

If you can take the canoes out of the park then go over to Friday Lake on Roosevelt Rd you can launch right from the road. Great smallmouth fishing. But then again so is Timagami.

If you cant catch fish in the French River you should just pack it in and stop fishing. Thats how good the fishing is.

Never had a problem with Shimano. Take it back to were you bought it. Have them ship it to Shimano It might take a bit of time but ive Never seen anything not replaced or repaired. As for the tackle shop they are not responsible for warrantying product even if you bought it there. But they should take the product in for you and ship it off for warranty replaced at a small shipping charge. If you bought the rod from online or US I can only say tough crap then. You saved a few bucks to lose a whole lot more. Local tackle shops need our support. Small shops provide customer service and that cost overhead. Thats why their prices are higher. But when you have a problem Ive never known a local shop to not stand behind their customer when it comes to battling the manufacturer. And they have way more buying power and clout than you do.

Congrats

Looks like your going to have to support yourself in your old age. Retirement home for dad(Crappy one with ugly nurses and bad food)

I'm going to suggest river smallmouth fishing. Probably the easiest way to catch fish without a boat.

Thanks for the report. Were the whities out of Superior or an inland lake?

Yeah I know a GB trib that holds steelhead snakes right through the summer they get over this huge logjam in the spring freshet and cant get back down again tiill the fall. They are very eel like by early august.

Yes thats them

If its buckets you want fish the Rankin System near sauble. Boat/Sky and Issac lakes. Good Buckets in them.

If one more person says to me "hey arent you Babe Winkelman?Im going to jam thid flippin stick right up their back side. But on a serous note I use to teach and guide flyfishing. Fun became work it was no longer fun.
