In 30 + years of fishing lake o and the harbour NEVER heard of anyone fishing for trout at the islands unless you count the early 80's when they tryed to get a trout pond going . would be hard to get anyone to believe you were trying for trout .. Try asbridges bay may still be some browns around but the islands ?????????

But you do, Canada after world war 2 signed Many treatys with Germany , Italy , Japan , etc. lets just go and tell them we didnt really mean it AND NOW WE WANT WHAT IS OURS !!!!!!!!!!

You would think that they had , for better than worse at least an editor that can spell . When speaking on matters of such importance to many you could at least take the time to SPELL CHECK ... But I guess when you print a thing that is pointed towards elected people , what does it matter most members of our goverment probaby cant read anyway ...

You got it , its a "large finned Bikini Group her "

Nice fish Rich , must have put up a fight . Great way to start the carping season ...

Bill I was not stripping eggs , BUT i would clean and fillet all kept fish on my charters . Was not more than 30 - 40 minutes to clean 40-50 fish , 2 times a day 5-7 days a week . I'm not bragging its what it is .. After 2 years when me and a very few found the blue zone in 1979 , I would (people on my charters ) , kill 40-50 steels in a 4 hour charter (5 fish limit and my boat could fish 10 people easy 12 no problem + myself and 2 deckhands ) and do that twice a day , 1981 when running 3 boats 32 . 40 , 47 ,between march 10th to oct 10 we did 240 charters . Was I proud "NOT A CHANCE " but it payed for a 47 foot boat ( I had night mares about the amount of blood on my pants on the deck etc.).. Would I do it now ""NEVER"" .I only take long time customers that know I only allow catch and release out there now So do not think this can not be done .. EASY

Guess # 2 , perhaps NOONE IN THIER right mind, would think that any ANGLER (or one that would call himself so), would ever want to catch a black, white fungus laden half dead fish ???? Dont have laws about pokeing your self in the eye with a stick ????? You just assume that people DONT do that ...

Believe it or not...there is a growing number of dedicated and very interested groups of us that support the Alantic program and volunteer to work on it...and truly enjoy a dime bright muscle bound Alantic salmon that has just yanked your arm out of place , is into your backing way faster than that BLACK , WHITE FUZZ LADEN CHINY's.....and you find yourself looking up in the trees at a fish that has Tarpon air capabilities....Alantics can get to eight feet above the water line , doing a double twist two somersault with a half gainer back to the H2o.... Chiny's in the lake are fun but in the rivers !!!!!!! Also I miss the 80's when 4 or 5 rods would go off at the same time with COHOS flying out of the water , crossed lines you go there I'm over you , had some great charters than .. This love of chinys over all else ??? Alantics when they get the stocking problems fixed (Dont believe about Alantics , St . Marys dude , go up there when the Alantics are running , you will never feel the same about Steel ever again and will feel ashamed about hooking a river Chiny ) and more Coho stocking will give us the best of all worlds . AND ALANTICS LIKE STEEL DONT DIE AFTER SPAWNING , THEY ARE LIKE THE BATTERY BUNNY THEY COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN , once you get them established , maybe if you put your negative energy that you spend on dissing people that are trying to help, into postive energy helping out , these problems with return numbers may be worked out ???? That's Why.

Dont know about that (being organamized ) the pics of the shack that your dad built is better than any I have ever seen . You dont know untill ya try .. Pickereyes wrapped in bacon with birch syrup ....

Hey T.J. did you tap some BIRCH trees ? If you have access to trees give it a go , just remember dont heat over 93 C , or you will scorch the sugars and it takes a load of sap to get syrup , at least twice as much as maple sap , BUT ITS WORTH IT , My grand Ma had a "SPRING TONIC" that was mostly raw birch sap , claimed it cured anything .." LOL " or Maybe it was the large amounts of rum she added ... ?????

T.J. , my grand dad made the best Birch syrup , but birch trees do not have , guess I will call it sap /root pressure as maples do, so the sap does not flow as well , and it takes almost twice as much birch sap than maples sap for the same amount of syrup , less sugars ???, and this my granddad swore by , Birch sap has a different kind of sugar than maple , sucrose - fruitrose ??? one has more than the other cant remember which is which , but the sugars in birth sap burn at a lower temp than maple sap , so ya got to watch the temp or you will end up with your birch syrup tasting scorched ... Hope we have a better year for sap than last ...Food from the forest , the best kind of food ....

Goes to show ya , you may be the uglest fish in the swim , but if you got a big dorsel ya goona get the chicks chaseing ya.Glad to see these fish getting respect , 20 + pound fish , fight like tanks , catch and release they withstand far better than most fish . And you dont need a high priced boat or high priced gear (but if you are so inclined there is lots of expencive carp gear out there , for the gear guys ) a can of corn , a hook ,a weight and allmost any river ,lake or pond and your good to go . I have taken lots of die hard steelies and salmon guys down to Assbridges bay in T.O. and you should see the looks on their faces when they are hooked up to a 20 pound Carp . Keep up the good work about getting fishing for these out there .
