It's a real thing. Actually a REEL thing 😉 Many stores inventory were depleted last year with more people fishing. This winter all stores booked much bigger orders to restock and prepare for another busy season. Add to the fact that there were n still are supply chain issues and shipping delays and you get the current situation.

Anyone with a good link for FS1 coverage?

I heard from a good source early April after the pay meters are installed. I dont mind the pay meters. But to keep them closed now is beyond ridiculous.

It's kinda funny Roger, my wife won't fish much at all here locally but loves to whenever we head north.

I'd go with Fifty point for better all season opportunities.

Thanks bunk.. we ended up booking on Bounce.. nice cabin, seems like a good fit for family and feel we got a good deal. I also got another similar referral on that same lake a couple hrs ago.. Pretty sure I'll be pm ing you in the near future for some general fly in tips and such

Very close to pulling the trigger on a mid August trip with the family (wife, son 13, daughter 6.5) to Bounce lake with Cochrane air service Not looking for fishing tips just yet, but any suggestions /advice before we put a deposit down? Spoke with one of their guys for 15 minutes and feel good about it

Maybe check out a Fenwick Eagle or HMX

Agreed.. good all round rod.

All great advice given already Can't beat the TDR or Okuma Classic rods.. the Convector reels and Penn Warfare series are also excellent quality for the price

Scotty 1116 Electrics no doubt...ideally 12-13lb balls are what most Lake O anglers should be using at a minimum to reduce blow back and have a good presentation.

Good stuff Roger Its been 8 years since I fished there Planning a trip back with my 13 year old son next year to get his 1st

Some great advice already from good folks here. If your able to make to Grimsby Tackle we would be happy to take the time to help you out further and answer any questions.

Thanks for sharing that Dave

Well said Craig I agree! In Niagara we had our legend writing in our papers for many years, Joe Montgomery. Hes still around in his early 90s..

I've recently been going through boxes of old ODD magazines from the late 70s to present... I'll be sure to read a few of John's columns this evening. The industry has been lucky to have a few special gentlemen like John and others, past and present.. whether it's been front and center or quietly in the background Rest peacefully John

See ya next Sat https://scgfa.ca/niagara-fishing-tackle-swap/

We went to the same high school.. he graduated about 30 years before me tho & had a spot on the wall of fame... Rest peacefully Neil

Looking forward to the Tackle swap! Gonna be a great year with lots going on with the St Catharines Game And Fish Association
