Musky or Specks

Nice spot johnny try to get into some of the other lakes as well. Oh and bring the bug spray when the sun starts to go down the mozzys might carry the young lad aaway.

Those are some nice trout. What was working? Dry, emerger?

Nice. I had a client give me a custom built 6ft 4 weight cane flyrod once. Generousity is an amazing thing.

Like a canoe a jon boat is dirt cheap and you probably bought it for a specific purpose. They dont get upgraded and if you sold yours youd have to get another one to do the same stuff. Once guys buy em they keep em

Once bass season opens the grand is a good bet for wet wading smallmouth

Right in the town of Paisley theres a little creek that flow into the main branch as it curves to the east of town. Mouth of that creek is normally pretty good for pike. You could also snorkel the plunge pool below the dam across the Teeswater river right in town beside the canoe place. The rotary park is also a fairly deep pool and ive seen gators in there while snorkeling it as a kid.

You can catch brown bulheads and carp below the dam. Use to while away the day there all the time as a we lad. Check to see if anyone at the wake owns property on Paradise Lake . Great bass fishing just upstream from the C.A.. But it all private access.

Further to that report a buddy just got back and gave me acurrent conditions. Water temps have reached 69 degrees already and while he caught the odd brooky it seems the window is over for the river and wont last till July like I was hoping

No problem glad I could help if theres one thing my brain is good for its storing absolutely useless information.

Both of those fish look like tigers. What the history of the musky fishery on the St John's Some quick googling http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2001/06/20/nb_dnmusk010620.html

aeball Hall of Fame is a pretty cool gig for us baseball geeks. My son and I had the pleasure one year of watching the Jr Nationals from oth the US and Canada play a game and then went swimming with the US national team at the quarry. Lots of current major leaguers were on that team.

Thanks for the report not the beaver I expect to see when on the internet.

Well this trip was from June 9th. Get to the river and conditions look perfect. Water really low which means the trout will be starting to concentrate. Problem is water is still only 58 degrees. Coldest I can remember for June In an ideal world the temp would be 65 or 66. Black flies were kept to a minimum on the river as it rained of and on all day and was fairly windy. I started off fly fishing but noticed only tiddlers were rising consistantly. Has a good whack on a olive bow river bugger but it was a short strike. Couldnt move anything else in the first run so I switched up to a sunshine yellow bow river and was rewarded on my second cast through the run with a nice 13" speck(sorry no photo camera was down with my buddy jon at the canoe. Couldnt get anything else to move to the fly and the water was cold so I thought I would switch up to the dew. Walk down river some and theres my buddy Jon flyfishing with a big grin on his face. Hes new to fly fishing even though I sold him his sage 10 years ago. He fishing a caddis emerger and nailing tiddlers (6-8") fish every other cast. I think i could have let him stay there the whole day and he would have been happy taking smal fish on the surface. Bigger fish were not taking to the fly at all so we both switched over to dew worms and continued. Well the dew certainly made the difference we starting nailing 12-14 inch fish all over the place. Some action shots Jon ready for a drift into a promishing pool Le reward Mon self your guide Jean guy de Trout Varios shots of fish Slippery fish Nice shot of the colours Now last year right around the same time on the same stretch of river I got Jon into his biggest ever stream brooky 16 solid inches of beautiful salvelinus Heres a photo of that fish I fkept telling him not to be suprised if we broke that PB for him and sure enough we get to a run I call power grub run(Cause Ive caught some good BT out of it on a power grub of coarse) and BOOM Jon is into a fish. He tells me its very good ...very very good. Better than last years fish As the fish gets closer hes say oh crap it barely hooked but its every bit of 18+ inches. I start taking pics hoping something turns out This is probably the best one were you can somewhat see the fish He gets it to shore and I ask him to hold it by the gut so I can get a good picture and sure enough pop off comes the hook and this is the best shot I got as the fish swam to freedom I got a good look at the fish and fir sure if we got a tape on it it would have blew his 16" out of the water but no tape on the fish Jon which means your PB is still 16. Now that fish can go back and hopefully live for another couple of years and break my record out of that river 23" With the cool temps BT fishing might till be good yet till the end of the month.

Hes right short of poisoning the entire fishery community of the lake and starting over nothing can be done about invasive species. Thats why it is such a problem.

No harm they have no clue how to reproduce. Pike however spawn earlier than musky and in a lake that previously had no pike use the same spawning habitat. The pike young demolish the musky young

Thanks for the report some nice bows in their native habitat

Some nice ski cant wait for this weekend.

Fish right in Haliburton on Head lake. The most dependable musky lake in the province. No trophys but its almost a guaratee that you'll catch one.

Decent muskie fishing. Dont know about anything else check my handle.

Get some rope and teach knots. Very fundamental but something that is vital.

John when fishing for lakers if you take your time fighting them they survive being hauled up from the depths. They have the ability to adjust their air bladder. Walleye on the other hand are toast or should I say fried. I fish for sheer pleasure. I to fished tournaments for a couple of seasons but totally took the fun out of fishing. Fishing is meant to be fun. As far as meat fishing goes if I feel the fishery can handle it I will take a meal of fresh fish. NEVER any to freeze, if I wanted frozen fish Id go to the supermarket.

Is it a herd of women? or gaggle or maybe a murder if they find out you refered to them as a herd

Yes for pike I was going to suggest 30lb.

Try some heavy duty flourocarbon you might have to make your own. Thats what I use for fishing musky.
