https://arcteryx.com/us/en/help/product-care my favourite guide is arcteryx’s I also try to do this every year. I was fishing in parry sound last week through those rain warnings, it torrentially rained on me every day for 4 straight days. The rain would break after a downpour and I’d take my gear off and you wouldn’t know I had just stood in a downpour for 2 hours.

yup im seeing lots of folks catching. Any success ive ever had on Lake O was also before the sun rise.

whatever you do, dont touch anything that isnt actual goretex. It really just isnt the same. Also read up on keeping your goretex clean and treated. I didnt realize this was a thing until i read into it a bunch and did it myself. Sure enough it brought a 3 year old coat completely back to life. Im personally wearing a simms pro goretex set. Love it and can layer underneath. I spent last week also fishing in that torrential rain for 4 straight days and never had a drop of water in any of my stuff.

Main lake stuff, deep weeds with rubble.

Looks so good Id eat em

For the smoker?

Hell ya man! I did a similar trip this spring too. Need to get a full report up, we got a lot luckier with the weather but it seems like you did a bit better on the fishing! glad to see you back hopefully you are free enough to do some more posting, been a bit of a ghost town around here lately. Truthfully seems like a lot of the guys are retired from fishing/physical limitations limit how often they can go and poke a few. what you are going to have to do is teAch the kids and bring them when they are old enough. Then they can be the ones chirping you old farts

This is what happens when everyone becomes millionaires due to the housing market. They’ve got us where they want us boat companies want a share of your equity

I spent a couple of years mowing for a living. In my experience, the cub cadets were terrible, the gravelys kubotas and deeres were awesome. Specifically the gravely 0 turns we’re invincible

No lie…it’s shaping up to be a goretex type of weekend lollll im most upset about the fact that my stupid boat makes changing a bilge nearly impossible without ripping all of the batteries and wiring out. I don’t have an auto bilge in my boat and with the rain warning now up for tonight into tomorrow I guess it means I gotta constantly throw my boat in and out of the water. tight lines and good luck to anyone headed out this morning! I’m on my way out.

Sounds like there’s going to be a break in the rain for tomorrow morning into the afternoon before the deluge begins…I’m hoping the weather man is right!

There’s 0 comparing a smoker craft to a Lund though. you will save some dough, but Lund guys are lund guys and understandably so.

I’m gonna keep it straight with you. Don’t buy a 16 twin console. buy a tiller from a reputable company. the fishability of them is 10000000x better

I wish… i can’t seem to catch them any time I fish 🤣

Way too much unstable weather. The temperature swings have been insane.

Yup, if you want to fuel up your best bet is to stop either at wolf energy near go home lake, shawnaga First Nation or the esso at Britt don’t wait to get gas in key or at the french it’s way higher price. FYI you can access the French river trading post from either side of the highway. There is a lane cut out for it. I drove past on my way to Timmins last week and took a look.

Because the subject matter is usually totally irrelevant. It could even trick someone into wasting time and going to said store thinking that the op is reflective of today.

im once again asking people to start reading dates on posts. How are they even finding these old threads????

not gonna lie...if i were you id buy a used electric trolling motor and call it a day. It will be better for fishing and get you out into the lake at an affordable cost. Thats just me though.

youve just reminded me that im due to change mine.

kayak ones are typically very nice. However I will point out, if you are going to use the flotation device to drive and then take it off to fish, i can assure you you are statistically better off wearing a CO2 auto inflate 100% of the time then while just under power. The flawed logic of people to not wear the auto full time because it might not inflate while also taking their PFD off to fish is about as ridiculous as it can get.

Might be hard to find, but you can still easily get parts for 1980’s suzuki outboards easily. Id dig a bit harder to find one. Mine still runs and has never needed any major repairs aside from a carb clean.

is that the same as the guys that buy a boston whaler to catch a fish you can catch by simply driving your boat around with your rod in a rod holder? I often get identified as a "bass guy" cause I drive a bass boat and fish tournaments, but with the limited bass season it sure as heck leaves me a heck of a lot of months to target other stuff. I truthfully try and do it all because it makes you a more rounded fisherman and theres just a lot of "prime times" to check off that make for some good fishing, but if you think flipping heavy cover and skipping docks is less entertaining then jigging up walleye I dont know what to tell you lol. Im not hating on walleye fishing either because I spend 2 months of the year specifically fishing them. By the way musky guys...i fish musky too lol and you fly guys...yup i do that too (although not well)

The water everywhere is so surprisingly cool and I have no idea how considering the heat we have had this spring.

love fishing that area of the lake. Only went for the first time last year but its awesome...especially with teh higher water levels. Shes down 2 feet this year so things will be a lot different with it not so flooded but still excellent fishing. Reminds me of the tri-lakes, but with georgian bay smallmouth nearby. Really cool stuff.
