I have been to the Grand Canyon as well but never fished it, it is truly an amazing place. If fly fishing you may want to hire a guide ... here are some links i found http://www.frommers.com/destinations/grandcanyonnationalpark/2284020352.html http://www.leesferryflyfishing.com/index.htm

Wow great video ... a very happy lad indeed ... I would be too ... I guess selling it or keeping it all depends on where your'e at in life , for an older fella like me the cash would come in handy for a lot of things, for some of the young guns it maybe a chick magnet on the water

I just saw that on their site as well, it says it has a Viper engine, but if its the same as their Eskimo then thats good as some folks here said the Eskimo has worked well, + Costco's return policy is very good. Now to see how many twoonies I have saved in my change jar, that just may cover it half of it ....

very cool

Dana, your'e hilarious, i like your writing style and sense of humour dude.

this was a timely thread, I am also going to be looking for one this winter, hand drilling sucks ...

each one of those is a trophy ... beautiful fish , you are very fortunate to be close to such a paradise and thanks for the work that you are doing ...

I also would agree, williams whitefish, white jig and minnow, meegs. However I find some colours do work better than others, like blue and silver never had much luck with chartreuse for lakers. Another method that always works is the spreader, always worth setting up. One time i decided to use a giant gold williams whitefish (10 inch)and start ripping it up and down off the bottom to see if i could attract anything to my minnow setup on a another rod a couple of feet away, after a few minutes i see a big red flash on my sonar and feel a huge weight on the williams and began reeling ... well whatever it was i lost it (probably dull hooks) but it felt like the biggest fish i ever set into while ice fishing, that was several years ago up in the Temagami region, so I believe the big flashy spoons do get the lakers attention.

ice fishing is an addiction .... an addiction I tell ya

will have to look for it , thanks

What an awesome story !! Hunting trip of a lifetime. Even getting the 3000 dollar helicopter lift it was still a lot of work , he should get that story published for sure.

My gm truck is made in Mexico and my wife's Honda civic is made in Alliston Ontario, go figure

Ah .. you are so lucky ... I paid to fly up there and catch those ...

didn't get a picture of it on the the ice but this is setup in the basement after i bought it Clam Base Camp Thermal .. just bought it last winter at BPS and used it a couple of times, a little heavy to carry while walking out ... but once its up it has lots of room, its says 3-4 but with gear and room to stand up and move around 2 people is fine heats up nice with a coleman heater and didn't drip condensation, i'll get pictures in the field this year .. already itching for first ice fishing trip.... LOL

absolutely incredible !!!! redbull air racing, skydiving are tame compared to that , adrenaline junkie for sure .... not much room for error in that sport

very nice report , most of those corridor lakes are stocked and hold some nice brookies

It sures is nice to see Kessel scoring , just hope he stays healthy, more than likely there will be a low point but for now it looks promising

Oh yeah ... Reimer held them in the game again last night for the win ....

still a beauty fish !!!! wow

gotta admit I am thinking about ice fishing as well ... I use 8-10 lb braided line with a fluoro leader when fishing for lakers and whities on my reels, old school tip ups straight mono for the spreader yes there is some freeze up on the braid but it has not negatively affected the fishing

wow ... lucky for that guy the horns were turned upwards and didn't impale him ... what are the chances of that happeneing on a bike ride ?

Nice Simon, sure looks a lot comfier than my portable clam shelter.... Lookin forward to your winter vids

great report Dana ... love those brookies !!

wow those are some hogs and cool looking ink

really like Reimer as well, ... lets hope he doesn't fall to the Leafs starting goaltender wasteland .... I don't agree with Don cherry calling out those 3 fighters as "pukes" ,, thats ignorant I know its early but "Its the most wonderful time of year",
