That appears to have got their hearts pumping.................😁

You won FOUR centre pin reels???????????? Tungsten heads on those? Doug

If that works out, and if you are able to do so without betraying any confidences, perhaps you could post that here? Doug

somewhere in Barrie? 😲

Just asked Mr Google about that, it was a temporary shortage. Or so says the owner of the farm that produces the stuff. In the meantime, I buy summer savoury at the Bulk Store. Doug

That has definitely been my experience as well, wrt colour of flesh. But it is still worth putting a snack out there for the greys, and if you are fishing a lake where both lakers and whitefish are present, you may well catch a bonus whitie on the fly. Doug

sold out, and unknown when it will be available again. Freakin' covid.................😐

Don't know about you folks, but K-town forecast for tomorrow is plus 12 with rain and winds 50 gusting to 75. NOT GOOD for the ice!!!

On a back lake for four hours, 6 of us fishing, 7 dink perch and three OOS largemouth. BRUTAL. But we only had maybe 16 inches of ice, which surprised the hell out of me.

Here is that post:

Exactly. Misfish posted a link to a video of a guy showing the set-up. If I can find that reply I will re-post it here. But basically your fly is like a drop-shot rig, with a heavier lure a foot or so below it. For Simcoe, maybe a Meegs with an ice bug up 18 inches kind of thing for lakers and whities.

And "everybody" drove their trucks and cars out on the lake..............

I think we might have been onboard my old Starcraft Holiday. I know we were using those wire mesh fish baskets for the keepers. Fun times!

I am thinking a lot longer than that, maybe late 80s? Doug

Got a recipe for that, Brian? I am not usually a fan of battered fish, but they do look good. Doug

Remember the time we were there catching perch after perch, and nobody around us was catching squat. When we left it was just about fistfights for guys trying to get into "our" spot. 😁 Good memories for sure. Doug

Awesome. And I thought halibut got pretty big!

Are you using it as a dropper, or your main lure? I think the effectiveness of a dropper is sometimes a fish wants a snack, not a meal. The bottom lure catches their attention, and the bug gets the bite.

Thing of beauty, Brian!

sold as cutlets, or you cut them off a loin roast? And what do you use for a coating? Doug

okey dokey. Doug

I live here and would be happy to pick it up for you, but I basically never drive to Mordor aka GTA. So I could store it here until you pick it up some time... Doug

Quick strike rig?

And now back to our regular programming......this just in: Brian is now spending all of his fly tying profits on lottery tickets....😁

Perch season isn't done yet!!!
