  1. I run my hooks maybe an inch, inch and a half from the hook. Haven't hooked one on the outside of the mouth yet. I also don't let them swallow it.. If the float quivers or dips, I'll set the hook. If I miss them, I miss them.
  2. Every government we've voted into place has sucked. I don't understand why people think this will ever change.
  3. I like salmons!
  4. Sounds like you've pretty much figured out shore fishing for trout on Georgian Bay. It's not very complicated.
  5. That's a long walk to the dock!
  6. Common sense and the regs don't always go hand in hand.. This is a perfect example.
  7. Some pretty simple signs to look for. Laid down dorsal fins, body structure doesn't look right... I've caught both in the 'Geen, and it's a night and day difference. Not to mention the fight, lol.
  8. Agreed, but selective harvest is key here. It's not hard to distinguish the wild fish from the stockers. Let the wild hens go and keep the stockers for table fare.
  9. Senoritas better pull those skirts up!
  10. Why are you leaving hooks in 90% of your released fish? I think steelhead are the one fish where I never hook them deep in the mouth, regardless of what I'm fishing with (singles, normal bags, big bombers, jigs, whatever).
  11. I don't know why people relate beads to flossing, because the hook is maybe an inch away from the bead? People have been flossing/lining fish way before beads every became popular here.
  12. Beauty Dave!
  13. It's the same as 'lining' maybe that's a old school term you're familiar with? Basically you run a super long lead and wait for the fish to swim into your line.. It pulls the bead (or whatever) through it's mouth and WHAMO! FISH ON BABY FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see more fish lined by the guys with flyrods compared to anything else to be honest.
  14. Mine! Mine!........Mine! Mine! Mine Mine! Mine!
  15. There are dozens of guys who exclusively fish the lower end with JUST beads. A lot of them are Nottawasaga Steelheaders as well.
  16. There's a big difference between killing a big fat wild hen and a mutant stocked whatever. This is the reason the whole 'selective harvest' topic was brought up.
  17. A few more months! IMG_4503 by billmarz, on Flickr
  18. I find our F115 Yamaha just sips when the water is really really cold. Tends to eat up more fuel the warmer the water gets.
  19. But bro, that 10ft lead is a natural presentation, lol!
  20. They should close chinook in the C&R sections as well. Would make things a lot easier.
  21. Everyone uses beads on the Huron/Gbay tribs... You need to look closer, lol.
  22. I've got a feeling Reimer won't be sticking around too long.
