both...they both are not native and another fishery exists without both of their existences. the amount of browns and bows i see people catching in the area, the fishery will survive without the salmons. Dunno if the steelhead would be so prominent though if the salmon are no longer running the rivers en masse? anyone care to comment on that? Regardless I can honestly say we are approaching a day and age where the resources that were once so ridiculously abused are finally beginning to turn the corner after years of wreckless fishing and pillaging, Populations of native fish are on the increase for the most part and the tight restrictions on catch and keep is whats creating the turn around. keep the regs tight, the pollution down and the poachers and commercial fishers away and things will fix themselves. And please dont misinterpret my comment as anti fishing propaganda, please go experience the fishery, it just might not be for a non native species. Catch a lot, keep the odd one, but most importantly enjoy and practice good conservation on the fishery.

cant say that artificially sustaining a non native population is the way to go. Let the chinooks die off with the alewife just like they did on georgian bay. Hopefully populations of cisco and subsequent native lake trout and maybe even atlantics? will experience a population explosion.

from the video it looks like you were nymphing for the bowfin as well?

damn pete, thats a clean one, way shinier than the old rotten hog i nabbed with ya in the fall. I swear to god pete, you put more muskies in the boat than some people put eyes.

reading about your new boat makes me think so much about "tinner magic" back home in ontario...its sitting waiting for me to come back...almost brings a tear to my eye. Ive also done the casting deck, bow mount trolling motor rig...i really like your approach. We did it a little different mounting to a piece of wood on a bracket at the front and then bolting down. Same kind of idea though. We tried using plasti dip, but the moisture in the wood has caused a few problems so I will be thinking of a more permanent solution in the near future. I might just have to steal your idea.

hey pump, been watching you on instagram, loving the fly carp vids...and was that a bowfin you caught there on your last one? what kinda flys are you tossin for them. I found a local carp pond out here in BC and am considering giving err a go.

a classmate of mine in highschool is a radio host in St Catherines now. Hes gaining a bit of fame from this http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/06/04/tragically-hip-tickets-scalper_n_10299728.html

weibe consistantly catches monsters and he doesnt eff around with camera cuts and Bull. He will straight up tell you if hes getting skunked, or if hes catching them first cast. dudes my all time fave pro angler,

I would love to make the suggestion, but id feel bad talking negatively about the boat. probably best if i kept my thoughts to myself. its their first family boat, so im pretty sure they just dont know any better. Exact same problem though, with 3 of us in the boat we have to do all sorts of maneuvering just to get the nose to sit down.

ive never been a big fan of hotdogs lol, but im surprised that the ingredients are that simple. its not actually that bad after all. Just a heck of a lot of fat, and not much meat reminds me of this https://youtu.be/YLoV9xS9rxk?t=2m23s

hearing this stuff is concerning. I run a 14 foot tinner with an 91 suzuki 15, loaded literally to capacity (casting deck, gear and people) and i still run 21mph.

someone wanted a pickerel dinner!

a close friend has a 16 foot smoker craft with the four stroke merc and the thing wont plane with one person in the boat... once it does get on plane it bounces around and feels like you are getting in a car wreck every time it hits a ripple...not a fan at all.

lol matt, id honestly let you get away with it and take the jabs if you were anything but a sens fan...(vancouver fan probably too)

this is a ridiculous statement... im gonna go throw a fish on my lawn in the sun for 4 days and then invite you over for a fish fry...

a fish that size on great slave has got to be at least 30 years old. Incredible. That thing makes the trophy musky i see guys catch look like dinks.

ahaha, this derives from the fact that the government is IMO corrupt in its efforts to push forward with monopolizing yet another one of our consumer goods. I personally have to say that I am not a huge fan of these unregulated dispensaries that are shady at best. I am 100% pro legalization, but it needs to be taxed properly and so do the organizations that are profiting from it. As it currently stands you have a whole pile of dispensaries that are attaining product from criminal organizations, and subsequently are not paying a dime of tax on the product they are selling. And please dont come to me with the argument that these companies are "paying taxes" Considering I was in a dispensary last week with a friend who purchased the product "cash only" these businesses are not clean what so ever.

i wonder how long their free shipping deal is going to last. They have some good deals on fly fishing stuff right now and I am getting outfitted big time

The whole purpose here is to develop a "circular economy" Extended Producer responsibility is the name of the game. if you are coke, you make packaging and pay an associated fee for said packaging. You need to understand that in capitalism, the customer always pays... The point here is that if there is a levy on packaging, companies always compete to have the lowest pricing. So if packaging becomes excessive and expensive, then the product subsequently becomes expensive and you end up not being competitive. In the same point, the materials that are being recycled are now owned by the producers. there is incentive for them to have their HDPE or LDPE bottles recycled, so that they can buy the bails send them back to their plastic factory and make them into bottles all over again. The Producer now has control of the entire stream and it is more cost effective than using virgin materials. There is still the limitation of what the end user decides to do with a product, especially when it comes to things like hazardous waste. Its your choice to return something like oil to a designated drop off zone funded 100% by industry (Hazardous waste is 100% extended producer responsibility) or to simply dump your used motor oil down the drain. Thank god that majority of people are starting to realize that the environment is something that we need to keep an eye out for so that our future generations will have something left to enjoy.

new pitching coach might be able to figure out his delivery problems...although it worries me with guys like this that the video is simply giving out tells and they have him sorted. the entirety of your delivery can be difficult to change if your pitches are telling that bad. Also Pillar does the make a wish foundation thing last night, brings a girl out to throw first pitch and then steals the entire game...epic

bingo i work for stewardship ontario, we operate on behalf of industry to assist them in fulfilling their obligations to report the quantities of packaging that they supply to the market. Contrary to popular belief, your taxes only pay for 50% of the costs associated with your Blue Box recycling, industry brand owners i.e. coca cola and walmart pay for the other half (soon to be 100%) I can tell you right now, that unless your liquor bottle gets picked up by a garbage picker, it is ending up in a big pile of glass and that deposit is lost forever. whats more of a joke is that the beer store (a government protected monopoly) does not have to pay any of the recycling costs associated with the glass that they put into the market. This means that companys that produce glass packaging are picking up the beer stores bill on their behalf simply because a lobby got them exempt from the waste diversion acts product stewardship section. Also contrary to popular belief, glass is not very recyclable at all. In fact its one of the crappiest recycling commodities of all. It is really rough on sorting machinery and destroys concrete floors inside of the recycling facilities. Put it this way, you might think that everyone takes their empties back, but i can assure you that 90% of people that live in the city without a car (a huge portion of ontario's population) does not return their empties. On last check return rates are somewhere in the 70% range. 30% is ending up in the trash or going in the blue bin or simply being broken.

lot and docking fees can be expensive, dont forget to consider them as well.

this remember people the LCBO and beer store are not owned by the government like they like us to believe. They are corporations that have lots and lots and lots of money. I work in the recycling industry and guess who the only company in all of ontario that doesnt have to pay recycling stewardship fees is? You guessed it, The beer store. "but they have a return system" you might say, well every single other corporation in ontario that has a return system still has to report the volumes of material that they lose...the beer store doesnt though. Its written into the Waste Diversion Act of Ontario. Now thats lobbying power.

lil intel from up on G bay was fishing late october last year, the smallies should have been out over deep humps chasing shiners...nope, they were in 2 feet of water eating up all of the gobies on a rock shelf in schools. we were seeing groups of 5lbers in a total feeding frenzy.
