much love for this link!

just make sure when you win you have space for me to become your 14th or 50th child...whatever one you are on now.

lets all remember, that colorado went 6-0 in pre season last year lol

im shocked you were getting em on the chug...was fishing stoney last weekend and couldnt get a sniff on the top water. Nice to see the south end of the lake producing...but smallies? even more confusing lol well done!

still need to learn how to slay summer eyes nice shootin

here is one thing I have learned...spend your money on a rod and dont worry so much about the reel. I have been fly fishing for a couple of years and I still havent fought a fish on the reel yet. I am sure I will hook into something huge eventually, but almost all fish can be fought stripping line. As with any type of fishing, you dont want to cheap out too much if you are taking it somewhat seriously. Ive used really low end stuff and it will make you feel like you are a terrible caster...ive also used really really high end stuff and its much the same until you know what you are doing. Its taken me about two years to start really get my casting together and even then its a lifetime of work. for reference I fly fish off of my dock at my cottage probably 30 weeks a year. so its a lot of practice. its important to start out with a rod thats somewhat half decent though IMO, the rods will be forgiving but will still allow you to learn to properly cast...the transition over to higher end stuff will be easy. Unfortunately for you, if you want to fish smallies and trout you are pretty much in two different weight categories. A 5wt is definitely light for a 4lb smallie...but an 8 is overkill for trout. I personally have two rods a 5 and an 8 and it pretty much covers me through the whole spectrum...you can handle a big salmon on an 8 and you can fish small trout on a 5 and have a great time. my 8wt was the first fly rod i bought its a temple fork outfitters lefty kreh signature series...a very very affordable rod with great performance. It actually somewhat measures up to my winston...and thats saying something when you compare the price. Finally, dont cheap out on your fly line...ive got some really crap fly line on my 5 wt right now because I was in a pinch and it sucks, theres a crazy noticeable difference between high end line and the canadian tire junk. Good luck!

The way my family has always cooked fish definitely shows the difference a lot more. Pike is definitely stronger tasting than walleye. Bass the meat is slightly different. Im not much of a fish eater so when i do i try to simply hit the fish with some hires and throw it on the fire as is. If im doing this its gotta be walleye.

once again matt is correct! can you believe it!?? Mathews is a better hockey player than Ovi you are on a roll today bud!

you wanna know what our weather is gonna be in a couple weeks...just look west my friends...thats how it always goes...right now its 5 degrees in edmonton....snow tonight 3 cm

lol this is the only place ive found deals like that...the game is different around these parts.

Finally Matt says something that makes 100% sense...maybe hes not brainless afterall?? he will exceed last years numbers.

lol "no goaltending"

hockey never ends in my househould either just claimed the summer title 2 weeks ago! when i see mathews snipe like that i just feel so good about everything.

why in the heck is there such a double standard when it comes to these guys vs others?? is it because they are white canadians that should know better? these fines are slightly closer to what should be charged against these A holes...but the last story I heard the white bucket brigade was out in the kawarthas fishing without licenses in a fish sanctuary keeping out of season fish and they got like a $500 fine...what a joke.

i havent laughed out loud at a forum post in a while...but this one got me

once again...where are you finding them even used these days for $140 CAD

verdicts out!

umm guys? he said 200 canadian...can someone please point me out to the $200 tax in stradics? cause I wanna buy them lol Now...yes i agree stradics are also my favourite spinning reel the drag systems on them is the best ive ever felt, thats why i own multiple of them but they are not $200. for something sub 200...im a fan of the abu revo

This

fished stoney this weekend for a tourney...caught ridiculous numbers...couldnt get much in the way of size..but that could have just been luck. Regardless top water was trash, probably because surface temps are not stable at all. The jerkbait bite was so so...but the drop shot bite in 15 fow was lights out...mid lake humps basically got all of our fish on drop shots. We easily were catching 30 fish a day...some guys found some with some more size but thats also stoney lake for ya...tough to find bigguns.

there is definitely something to be said for venturing into the wilderness/a new lake/ the unknown in order to find fish...and sure enough actually finding said fish. It can be as simple as just heading to an entirely new area of the lake that you normally fish, or as far as portaging into the wilderness to find a brookie hole like this. Very cool story thanks for the write up and great pics!

nice a pike report...thanks for sharing. 10 40+ inch fish...not a bad day at the office!

not gonna lie...1 pieces are warmer...ive always found that wearing a bib, ya your lower half is solid, but you dont get to share that surpreme warmth with the rest of your body, and specifically your arms. if you are like me and you have problems with circulation in your hands, you need your arms and specifically your wrists to be cooking to even have a chance out there.

you sir...are my favourite person today
