While they are all in Kiawatha's, Rice Lake so it would seem that the harbor wouldn't surprise me. Got to love those muskies

I think Trumps does presently tax Canadian imports by 25%%, except oil which is taxed at 10%. So from what I understand you are right. Lot of folks used to crossover to Niagara Falls to shop. That's pretty much over for now.

I watched the lunar calendars for some time. If I was honest weather and time of season makes a lot more difference. Got skunked on new moons and full moons. And to be honest how many of us haven't tried to figure out some scheme to improve our odds when fishing. The theories are endless..... I'd say in all likelihood you went not over a feeding pod of fish.

In NWO at Clarks they had banner ice fishing season for walleyes and some good trout as well. Still plenty of ice for the time being. I's tend to say no. With this having the best ice in 10years it really got things rolling derbies, etc. back in full swing.

Why is the Ruger Mini-14 on the list. An average semi-automatic rifle, nothing out of the ordinary. Patterned after military M-14.

We payed $1950/man, we payed our down payment it locked-in the cheaper price. It's up to $2300/man currently. They have cabins, fairly new to. The camps been given a major upgrade. So now has Wi-Fi, hot-cold running water. The dining room kitchen is a shared common area.

Me to Like buddy, winter go away, since we don't ice fish anymore. However there finally got the ice this winter

Thanks for the report, sounds like awesome fishery. Haven't fished French River in a while you never know what's biting there.

I'm a bit new to this forum. Was curious if anyone else has plans for a trip up north this summer? If so where and when are you going. Were my friend and I are going to Beteau a section of the Attawapiskat Rive quite a ways north of Nakina the 3rd week in June. A rather remote river known for pike and walleye. Should be quite an adventure it's145 air miles in. So what's your plan(s)

Smelt good eating when fresh. We sure don't get them like we used to in the Niagara River. They also make great bait for pike and lake trout. Apologies for mess up just learning the site.

I second that, caught some big steelhead and browns in the lower Niagara. There a lot of Charters out there as well. The best time for lower Niagara is the fall, unless looking for summer smallmouth.

I would highly recommend Lake Erie for walleyes, perch, bass. If you google Erie Base Marina or Buffalo, small boat Harbor I'm sure there are tons of them. I mean w/o going to NWO it's as good of walleye fishing as your going to get. I see them down there but don't know them personally.

It is a bit daunting being such a big open bowel, even the bays are very big. We found it to be a definite Big fish lake. It's also an almost uniquely beautiful lake. It has cliffs and palisades rising up hundreds of feet out of crystal clear water. Just a note it's quite you bring a boat. Mines only 16.5 deep-V and I wish it were a bit bigger on Nipigon (or Erie). PM me if you want?

I don't fish that area off Ontario. However until you pull the trigger for boat consider getting some waders. They will greatly enhance your shore fishing capabilities. Also fun way to fish from shore is to target up land stream trout. You find creek-small river with lots of public access or get access from the farmer. Usually if you walk the creek bottom you shouldn't need permission only if you go up on shore. It's fun and you can explore a bit. Then when you shop for a boat 1st do you plan on fishing alone or with or 1 or 2 others. It'd better to get a slightly larger boat but if fishing alone you want to insure it's not to big to handle alone. If you target bass you want a floating dock (bass-boat), or if trolling for lakers or walleye then a deep-V for stability while trolling. Then comes storage can you park it? Don't hesitate the learning curves not bad and you likely won't regret it. I started with a square back canoe, went up to 14' runabout and now have a modest 16.5' Lund
