Great lures! I'd put them in a shadow box and make sure they're out on display. :EDIT: bigugli beat me to it
-
Ouch, let's hope he's ok!
-
Kinda like our crash standards as well. km/h vs mph. Although now I think they've aligned those for both countries.
-
It's silly, there should be a standard that meets both US and Canadian certifications.
-
Dave, I was expecting you to say it started to snow and that the boat was being put away for the season
-
Adam, the only time you can use a US approved lifejacket and get away with it is if you're visiting Ontario from the US. Here are the rules outlined on the Transport Canada website.

I don't know how much of a laker run Bronte gets, but you'll be wanting to hit the piers with some hardware in the near future. When someone is talking about 50 Point and lakers, they are most likely talking about fishing out in the lake (ie in a boat)
-
Sounds like a yellow bellied dace although I don't think they get that big. Common creek chub perhaps?
-
I love messing with these guys... -
A lot of the guys who fly fish for them don't actually hook them, they just get wrapped up in the long streamers. I don't think I've even had a fish turn on a streamer, even though it's 6inches from his face.
-
So you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm guessing they are going after big schools of shad. I've even brought out the 6wt and streamers and can't get one to go. It's discouraging.
-
Sounds like spam to me.
-
Great advice. Niagara is loaded with everything easily accessible for the shore angler (Although you gotta be safe about it)
-
+1.. You lost the battle before it even began, lol.
-
Fireline Crystal. 10lb Nano will be fine. I like 6lb because it's the diameter of dental floss and casts a mile.
-
Stop pulling on the tail
-
Did Joe have that camera @ 10mm the entire trip? Crazy at how low that river is compared to when we floated it! Nice to see the fish cooperated.
-
Drennan Super Specialist Super mono is great stuff. I've got a few spools of 8lb I'll use in the winter.
-
Sidecasting is a lot less effortless, lol. There's also the spinning side cast which a buddy of mine does. Wallis cast does help reduce line twist however (Although I think most of it is from the float spinning, not the casting itself IMO)
-
Looking for something that measures, distance traveled.
BillM replied to misfish's topic in General Discussion
GPS is going to be your best bet. It will keep track of all kinds of things (total distance travel, ETAs, etc) And in case the fog rolls in and you have no idea where you are, you can get back to shore -
Salmons are slowing turning into Zalmons!!! Good job Aaron, I didn't even get the boat down this year for kings. Lots of guys had a rough go.
-
6lb Fireline is stronger then what you're using I run 5.6# or 6.6# leader, no floaters battles are over quick.
-
Why are you guys trying to catch all those whitefish on the graph? :)
-
You'll wanna be fishing the wind blown side anyhow, so it's not going to make much of a difference:

ZALMONS!!!!!
