Contractors and the people that use their truck to make a living will disagree with you. It doesn't get much more reliable then the 350/4L80E combo GMC has been stuffing in their trucks for the past 20 years. BB that poor Toyota of your would puke it's guts out if it tried to tow what my oldmans Duramax does :)

I've got a pretty big selection of dries, let me know when you wanna get out. We'll get you into some fish ontop!

Glad I left two days early!

All depends on what type of fishing.

This is a great starter dryfly kit.. http://www.reelflies.ca/45_Dry_Fly_Selection_p/dry-selection.htm

Brian, did you check out the dry fly assortment on Reelflies.ca?

Rav4 V6..

I didn't use my 8ft Compre at all last year, gotta definitely change that this year!

Nice browns! But you really need to invest in a trout net.

You got it! LOL!!!

Brian, switch those mornings for evenings and you'll have a way better chance at getting them on top You can get hatches in the morning, but it's a rarity. After a nice sunny day the bugs will be going well before dark.

I've had Fireline fray as well, although it's never broke.. Now if you have something like Nanofil fray, you'll bust off in a matter of no time.

Looks like it's time to get the oldman out for some lakers! Great report Brian!

Simon, just tell the truth, you were fishing OOS musky and using those 'eyes on your stringer as bait! LOL!!!

This is why people really need to be aware of what they're posting.. I don't post many threads anymore and this is the reason. No way I'm giving away info/conditions to someone who's just going to exploit the resource.

What about the Alaskian monsters that ate people? (aka sturgeon, lol)

Really dependent on the rivers themselves.. I've seen stuff hatching for the past 3-4 weeks.

All depends on water temp... Brook trout are constant roamers anyhow, it's not like they sit in one specific area.

If I was going back to the lake I fished a few weeks ago, I'd be bringing in some live leeches! Fish were keying in on leeches and big dragonfly nymphs...

TFO have great customer service.. Give them a ring, I'm sure they will help you out.

I use those exact straps on the Lund and have never had them come loose.

Don't buy them from the store, then get directly from the farm.. If you can, tell the farmer beforehand to not put them in the fridge. If he doesn't, they'll keep for weeks at room temp.. Once they are put in the fridge, they have to stay cold or they'll go bad... I've got a local chicken farmer near my parents place that does this for me.. Biggest and best tasting eggs you've ever eaten.. I've eaten them weeks after he's given them to me, never an issue. Perfect eggs for those backwoods trips where you've got no power/no cooling capacity.

Goodluck!

Appreciate it man! I got super lucky with that shot.

The entire reason why they have an electrical barrier is because a physical barrier has been shot down by the US government over and over. I agree, physical barrier would be much better. Let's hope these parasites don't make it into the great lakes (Although I'm sure they already have)
