If I was going to spend some decent $$$ on a boat, there's no way I'd store it outside, lol.

I don't like the pass either, so I don't fish there, lol.

You may not like the pass, but don't think the money just lines the city pockets. Township of Essa has been extremely generous to the Nottawasaga Steelheaders, that money goes towards stream rehab, fish studies, etc.

The brand of fly isn't a deal breaker if you ask me.. If I can remember correctly we were running dipsys at a #3 back 75.

Make sure you're not running too shallow. Early morning/evening kings that are staging aren't very deep at all in the water column. We did good with SD/Atomik fly combos.

If you want to fish Essa you'll need a Essa township pass. http://www.essatownship.on.ca/EconomicDevelopment/FishingAccessPasses/index.htm

Now that looks like fun!

That's going to be a giant otter with teeth marks like that! I'd guess big laker/pike

You've never tried braid? If so you're missing out.

Nice! What were the measurements on those brutes?

Love Nanofil, but it's got zero abrasion resistance. Ice in your guides will rip it apart, as will any rock, zebra mussel etc etc. That being said there's a time and a place for everything and in certain circumstances it outshines anything else on the market.

It was a joke man, come on, lol! You ready for all the crazy Italians to come up from the city during hunting season??? :)

I think you should spend some more time on the riverbanks during salmon season.

Sorry man, I've seen to many of them on the Pine zipping fish, filleting them and throwing the rest into the woods Backpacks LOADED with fish... disgusting.

Wow that thing is a beast!!!!

Go down to Port Hope, find some guys from Quebec or some guys from eastern Europe, lol.. The next time they gank a big female with a marshmellow and a treble and are filleting it on the side of the bank ask to keep the roe, they won't want it.

LOL yeah pretty much.

Cheap and quality optics don't belong in the same sentence. I'd gladly drop another $2XX on a pair of Maui Jims if I drop mine in the lake tomorrow.

PC ramp is free after the GSOD is over no? I know it's free before the derby.

Kadri hasn't even had a 'career' yet, what does the kid need to prove? Does everyone really think it's him and not his agent that's being the hardass in all of this? From what I can tell he kid wants to play hockey and that's about it. Look at all the other pros that don't show up during the playoffs and people are surprised Kadri didn't? Seriously, are you guys even hockey fans or just come into threads like this and spout your nonsense?

There isn't a launch at the Oshawa marina?

My buddy made it through with his 24ft Chapparal this summer, I doubt you'll have issues.

Shouldn't have any problems getting underneath that bridge.

Spawnee here as well Dave. I've even got the old one my oldman used in the 80's Still works great!

Cheapest 4lb mono you can find and a pair of scissors. No need to use a lighter to 'melt' the remaining mesh...
