Al, that's awesome news!!!

I am going to give ice out crappie a go this year for sure.

The start to a very nice spring I'm sure! Good work bud... I am really hating this new project at work Takes up to much of my fishing time!!!

Now if anyone thinks that nurses and doctors get paid to much, they should read this thread. Good job Randy!!!!

That original article is really lacking on facts...

I use the braided hair of unicorns.

I think the best idea is just to shoot the neighbour and bury him in the backyard.

I use muskie leaders for pike 18-24" in either 80 or 130lb flouro. Big or small, they eat it regardless.. Pike aren't the brightess fish out there...

It would have been better if it was turned off before it went for a dip, but the memory card *should* be ok.

So there are more people fishing Rice in the winter then the summer? lol

So what do people with conservation licenses do when it states in the reg their limit is zero? Stand there and look at the river, willing the fish to the bank?

I thought fishing was about the sport, not the table fare.

Yeah, it was a great day for sure. The weather was absolutely perfect, however we could have used the melt a bit sooner to soften that ride out this morning. Hooked up in the first 10mins but lost it about 10ft down... Moved a few more times and hooked up again, with something really nice which again popped the hook... Ah well, what can ya do!! My mission for the day was to get Doug on a whitefish and it was mission accomplished when he brought that brute up through the hole.. Last day out on the ice for me, bring on the steel and the opener!!!! And Doug, that sandwich was awesome!!!

Ahhh , ok I thought you might have been referring to those ruts of death out there this morning rather then the ice thickness The drive out was brutal, I thought for sure I was going to slice a sidewall open...

How much do one of those planes weigh? We found at least 20inches of ice in some places today, unreal...

Wayne, you sure it didn't fall out of the plane? I am sure you saw the two planes circle and land out on the ice today. We fished about 100ft from them for a mins on our way back.... Goodluck with finding that cover!

So it wasn't Wayne who flew the plane onto the ice today?

That Garmin Oregon 200 is a nice price at $239...

For a $100 savings I probably wouldn't bother unless the seller will value the package at $40US or less, you'll get nailed with tax and duty. God forbid he uses UPS or FedEx to ship, then get ready to really bend over.

...........and the RLTA digs it's grave a wee bit deeper.

The sizes are assorted but definitely suited to the waters you'll be fishing in southern Ontario I have a dry fly and wet fly/nymphing kit from them and they've caught me fish.

Let's hope it's not chocolate milk this time

I just wear a speedo and dunk myself in a giant vat of vaseline before I go out. Works great and is fairly inexpensive.

Definitely pick up one or two of the kits from Reelflies.ca I did the same thing last year and it helped out tremendously.. However, what helped the most was actually getting out with an experienced fly fisherman. My buddy Dave showed me the ropes and I was extremely grateful, learned a whole bunch and even caught some fish I cannot wait until the opener... Screw steelhead and the crowds, I'm going to be stream crashing in the dark... Can't wait!

Dead stick that sucker below a float off a nice deep weedline in the spring.
