Green with envy here. 😁 Do you fish that tungsten jig bare? I use perch eyeballs on them, for jumbo perch........ Doug

Fishing the Nechako River for rainbow trout, seeing as the elk were not coming out to play.........caught some rainbows for supper, but also my first ever northern pikeminnows. They put up a better fight than the trout! But my buddy REFUSED to bring one home to try it for table fare...

I had to look that one up. I know them by their other name. Guess I need to get with the times...................woke woke woke cancel cancel cancel, JT, JT, JT Where am I going and what is this handcart???

And northern pikeminnows (which are not northern pike and are not minnows) are actually FUN to catch. But in central BC, where I was catching them, the fish have quite a different name. I guess political correctness caught up with them, OK fine, but surely to God they could have come up with a better name!!! My $0.02 Doug

Thanks for taking the time to write the report! That area is certainly blessed with some great fishing............but I sure found the road trip up to Nakina to be some L...O...N...G...! Doug

ARTIFICIAL CORN: you know, corn made of soyabeans and fertilized with JT's broken promises, token apologies, gun grab statements and other PURE S**T. Artificial, like the man in other words. Do we need artificial corn? Do we need phony politicians???

That was bad enough, but THEY WOULD NOT TELL YOU what date you could actually apply!!!! Bone-headed bureaucrats.....

Painless, yes for sure, once a person could do it. My beef is they could TELL US on the website that one cannot renew until such and such a date. OR, why not allow a person to renew two months in advance, or three, or ??? It strikes me as bureaucracy of the worst order to deny permission to renew until only a month is left in the card.

and thank YOU for YOUR service!

Good for you! And thank you for your service. Doug

Yes I have those on a couple ice rods, but have been curious about the in-line reels. Old dog, new tricks, SOMETIMES. 😉 Doug

Smitty, is that some kind of porn film? 😲

Thanks Terry!

Can you get that in a right hand model?

One from the archives there buddy.................. Doug

nothing here in Kingston yet...........and I submitted it as soon as I could............

One of my fishing buddies is a whiz at filleting pike (and leaving the bones on the carcass!) He has shown me several times, hands on instruction, but the lessons so far have not stuck. We have been catching some nice pike, 6 to 8 pounds and chunky, while fishing for perch. Exciting on an ultralight with 3 pound test! And boneless pike are very toothsome pan-fried, and also very good smoked.

Got it, thanks. Frozen fish beat the heck out of no fish, but I hear you loud and clear. I really like smoking the whities also, but it has been many moons since I caught enough to make that worthwhile! Thanks for the comeback!

NICE! Same question - releasing the whitefish? Doug

You released a whitefish??? Please help me out here, a confused Southeastern Ontario fellow....... ....are you not allowed to keep whitefish? Or you just don't prefer them? If I had a choice between a whitie and a walleye on the plate, the whitie would be on the menu. We had minus 16 on my back deck yesterday morning, so Kingston might well get ice before year end. Here's hoping! Thanks for whetting my appetite! Doug

It is the entire licencing system that Ontario offshored. Purchasing printing and mailing the OC but also purchasing and issuing the tags, etc etc. But the skeptic in me thinks the Ontario government of the day probably had a POLITICAL reason for this decision..........

NO. https://oodmag.com/ask-a-co-outdoors-cards-for-seniors-over-65/

as of TODAY! Before today you could not renew the OC or buy your small game licences. Which is freakin' RIDICULOUS. Like HELLO!!!!! WHY can't their system let me renew my card a month before it expires? grumble, grumble, grumble...............

The fishing (and eating) sound great, but that HEAT is not my cup of tea. Better minus thirty than plus thirty any day! I hear that Crow Lake has some tasty fish in it............😉 Thanks for posting! Doug

Here's some gear for you lads that like heavy tackle. And please forgive me if it has already been posted, I had not seen it before. Doug Peche_Savoir-faire_pour_survivre(1).mp4
