strakey

The first is a giant water beetle and the second from the side looks like a helagramite. If it had big pincers it is. Otherwise i think caddis fly would be it

Hi. That lake is in the matheson area and is quite small. It is a fairly private lake surrounded with cottages and gets alot of boating traffic as well as fishing fishing pressure from the residents. Holds smallmouth and walleye and pike but i havent been there in years and at the time the numbers were down. Good luck and practice conservation on that lake.

Hi there u can go online to centerpinangling.com and order them along with specialized pliers for removal of said shot. Toronto based company but shipping is 8 bucks minimun so make it an order

Totally understand why boots are so well loved. Caught one myself sat morn running 30 lbs and uglier than Bill's. Fresh fish. If it was open water I would of been spooled for sure. Completely under gunned even with salmon gear. Sent him back to tire himself out the preferred way.

When it comes to catching pike this time of year as any fish they are all sluggish due to the fact they are cold blooded. The colder the slower and vice versa to a point. Use a leader and slow down your presentation. Suspended baits, swim baits, jigs all will work. The little jetty at ontario place and boat dock on the other side all hold fish all season so keep tryin. My answer would be to get a big soft plastic swim bait/jig and fish it really slowly along bottom rpund 10 am and onward into the day

Nice pictures guys. Mike certainly has a nack for finding fish. He has his own gps of sorts. Those brownies are gorgeous.

Hey Mike I just seen that video of you and Fidel.............priceless!! Totally what I would of expected to hear from him landing a nice fish. The ones with your family are nice to see. Spread that joy some more.

Well your quickly catchin up to solo with these reports...almost epic preportions

One from this weekend on sat morn. Had a couple hours to fish and managed this male. This guy fought like a pissed off king, best fight so far this year.

Not to many will post info on lakes or rivers (especially) since that creates to much traffic. You'd have to pm someone here for a great response. Otherwise if you have a computer use google maps on satelite and check for the river mouths out east on a map of southern ontario. You can't fish any of them past the 401 or cn tracks whatever comes first in how they parallel each other. Hope this helps

Very nice Mike. Glad to see you teaching him early, but don't forget that the student passes the teacher one day. Can't wait for my turn.

Mike nice fishing trip you had. Im a tad jealous. I would love to see some sharpies put up because being from Timmins I had never had any other bird except for ruffies and spruce (not great eatin). Great lookin trout!!

One from sat morn. Fall spawner it seems, brings out the nice colours. Went back in to do his business

Nice fish Paulus........I'd throw my camera in the drink willingly to tackle one of those beasts.

Even better!!! Read the other replys and noticed big streamer. Man those fish can be piggies when they want to be.
