As a national park, fishing is subject to the National Parks of Canada Fishing Regulations. For tackle: 17. No person shall, when fishing in park waters, use (a) more than one fishing line; (b) a fishing line having more than one artificial fly or other type of bait; (c) a fishing line having an artificial fly to which is attached any live or dead natural bait; (d) a fishing line having any combination of hooks capable of catching more than one fish at a time; (e) a fishing line having more than one type of lure; (f) a lure having more than (i) two single hooks, (ii) two gang-hooks, or (iii) one single hook and one gang-hook; (g) a gang-hook having more than three hooks; or (h) a lead sinker or lead jig that weighs less than 50 g. I didn't see anything specific to the Bruce Peninsula National Park, but that's not to say I did a particularly thorough job of looking through the act. You can go through it yourself here: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._1120/

Very cool. Now if only there was an app for documenting and reporting regs violations to the MNR...

No. It has nothing to do with your 24" perch. Carry on.

I have some Kast Steelhead gloves on the way. If they are half as good as the reviews claim them to be, I'd say we'd have a definite winner. I'll let you know how they turn out if you're interested.

Doesn't seem extreme enough. Maybe if they flew at each other at high speed carrying lances or something...?

Depends on where you are in the Kawarthas. Balsam has a reverse slot -- you can't keep a walleye if it's between 35cm - 50cm

I've been mostly alternating between a Megabass Kirisame Limited F1-66ZKS (6'6" with an extra-fast solid tip) and a Megabass DirectZ F2-70XSD (7' interline rod with a fast tip), depending on weather and water conditions.

You're assuming this person (and I use the term loosely) has a license. Given this obvious display of contempt for the resource, I wouldn't bet on it.

Use the mesh of the net for grip to hold the fish. Hold the fish upside down to minimize thrashing. If you need to pick the fish up directly, you can try to gain control of the lure first (if it is still outside the mouth), so that even if the fish moves, it can't whip the hooks around.

At $250,000 a pop, those are some expensive snakes to whack.

Try giving JB's Fishing Depot. Not sure if they carry that one specifically, but they seem to carry a lot of Savage Gear stuff.

I'd either use either 10lb braid with a 6-8lb fluoro leader, but I've also had success with straight 6lb fireline crystal when targetting walleyes with jigs and plastics with a finesse spinning setup.

x2. Those and the Owner Down Shot Offset hooks are excellent. I have no experience with the VMC spinshots, but I would probably want to try the Gamakatsu version first (one less knot). As for weight shape, it depends on the terrain. For very rocky terrain with lots of crevices, cylindrical weights work better for me because they will snag a little less.

... and yes, even Wal-Mart carries buzzbaits.

Noodling for musky -- now that's a real man's sport!
