The lodge im working at this summer got the Lowrance HDS for all the boats! i cant wait to see how they preform!!

ya Xeon give me a call when ur gona go down i need to fill the freezer.....

looks like my favorite river was good to you! Good job... im missing the soo already...

well i wouldnt say the "rest of ontario" opens on may 9th. i know that the Soo is open all year for pike. and i belive anywhere past Sudbury is too....

good to hear there in!!

i have a pair of bear ones too... i must have got a bad pair because ive only had these things for 2 years, and the leak like crazy! i get just about as wet when im not wearing them lmao. a good friend of mine has a pair of the streamside waders and he finds them great. but i think my next purchase is going to be a pair of simms....

theres a trailer park on the lake that has a boat launch. it pretty cheap i think $5??? this trailer park also rents the boats for the lake cant remember what its called though...

ya their a mess right now. but they should be clearing, unless we get the rain their calling for this weekend. but theres always the st. marys river rapids, the rapids are always clear....

a few of my friends went to check out little rapids the other day but no fish were seen...

ya my friends said the same, they were there this morning from 7-10:30 with out a hit. the water was really brown they said. were going agian on thursday afternoon, and agian on the weekend.

hey keep me posted too! lol i might be out tomarrow, trying to figure out where. might end up goin out for specks in the west end. but wouldnt mind a nice steelie!! and is the carp river open yet? buddy of mine said it was still solid in most places pikeie

Well I have been looking at the steelhead reports from all you guys down south for some time now, wishing I could get out. Problem is Superior is still frozen solid and the water temps to cold. On the weekend a few of my friends and I decided to go for a drive up the superior shoreline and hit a few rivers. We weren’t expecting too much as the first river we got to still had people ice fishing at the mouth!! But we started drifting anyways, 10 minutes in I had I pick up on a size 12 gold ribbed hares ear, I got the fish on and when it got to shore I realized it was just a whitefish about 2 lbs, then the hook pulled out lmao... that was it on this river. Got some nice pictures though. So we keep driving and decide to hit the famous Chippewa River lol. It sure is some beautiful water to fish. After being there for a while and no fish being hooked by any of the four of us, my friend Wes gets a hit and finally fish on. After a short fight he gets his fish on the bank and unhooked.... I ask him what he got it on and he said wax worms! I have never heard of this but I figure the fish just wanted to see something different. So finally the steelies are starting their spring run, and it can only get better from here on, they better be quick though.... I've only got 17 days till I'm done school and on my way back down south. Pikeie

hahaha TB i fly to the winnipeg airport then the lodge comes to pick me up at the airport. im not flying to kenora

WOW! Deja vu! i remember when that happend to their cottage when i was 8 or 9. hope you guys can fix it soon enough!!

i also use a 6.0 oz konic and i would not go out on the river without it. great quality reels!! and to answer your question id go with the larger velocity aswell...

gotta love the splake up here! ive only been out once for them this year, none as big as those tho...

ya thats what i thought. i figure though in 2 weeks there should be a good run of them up the rapids.

really? whens the main run? i was down there yesterday and got 2 bucks one around 4 lbs and another over 6 lbs...

alright thanks guys!!

im dieing to get out steelheadin! i know that they are in the rapids but with the winds tomarrow at 45 km/h, they would almost be imposible to fish! are any other smaller rivers open yet? thanks

ya buddy im also wondering where u heard that? friend's of mine have a small pond on there property with goldfish in it...... they dont take them out over winter, and every spring the goldies are still in it.

haha got to wonder where these invading species came from eh! lol

haha J.R i think ill miss being around town.... well maybe haha thanks for the tips guys!! gotta love seeing the eagles! thanks agian averyone!

Hey thanks for putting this togeather. it sure looks like tempting water up there haha. those pelicans are cool! They also got a brand new fleet of Triumph boats this year!! thanks agian!
