The chinnies were full of life man, I couldn't believe it. I had a monster hooked (legally) and I couldn't even make headway on it. I've never had my GL3 bent over like that before... Everytime the float would quiver, I'd be like "Oh man, not again" A few quick pops to try and dislodge my hook from wherever I flossed the stupid thing. If they were ganked, they'd break you off in a few seconds, or we'd just bust it off ourselves. I actually had a pair spawning right in front of me... Won't be much in the way of chinnies down there in the next week or so, definitely near the end. But full of life, that's for sure.

I'm going to hit that river this week, should be PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of giant black boots.. I think I pulled 3-4 hooks out of the one I landed, poor thing... I've never harvested brown roe before, actually haven't yet.. both fish I took roe from were chinnies. Only time I harvest rainbow row is from down in the US, and it's from a trib that's made up of stockers.. I won't touch a wild fish.

Comparing Drennan and Froghair is like comparing apples to oranges, lol...

I'll see you Thursday!

That's the problem fishing the gin clear stuff. It's fun to watch the fish hit, but good luck trying to horse that thing running 3# tippet. It's hard enough getting them out of the wood in ideal conditions.

One brown made a donation of roe that day.. The rest is chinny. I told Mike to post that pic just because I wanted to laugh at all the roe monger responses

Nice fish man!!!

Welcome Russ, And man, what a first report!!!!! No fish?

The only PVR Bell offers with the dual tuner is the HD model....

Nice fish man, conditions seemed gin clear, a tough fish for sure.

Swap out the trebles to some single Siwash hooks on those spinners. You'll reduce the amount of snags you get and the hook up percentage is about as good.

I wish.. Combat fishing at it's finest.. Mike and I avoided the Gauntlet of Rubes!!!

A nice steelie from this weekend. Love the colours on this one..

Why not hire a guide? They aren't just there to make sure you catch fish... You'll learn more in one day out on the water, then you have in the past 4 years.. Great investment if you ask me.

Just an FYI, I would spend more $$$ on a rod then a reel. Most reels do a decent job.. But the difference in rods can be night and day...

Way to go Fidel!!!! Mike and I had an interesting adventure on Saturday, lol

I fished FrogHair flouro today for the first time, no complaints at all.

Jim, I'll make sure to take as many pics as I can of my reel completely immersed in the water.

That top one looks like a juvenile resident fish. Second one is very atlantic salmonish like...

Redneck leaf blowing!!!

I cannot wait to catch monster snakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're not poaching unless you are doing it on purpose, everyone ends up snagging a fish once in a while inadvertently. I belly hooked a steelhead a few week's ago on the Saugeen. In about 6ft of water out in the middle of a run, lol.. I thought I had the fish of the day the way it took off downstream and me chasing behind it. Thought it was a 15lb fish for sure...It was about 5 It happens!

Dude, no one is bashing you here. We are just saying that a fish can get snagged in a shallow river a lot easier then they can out in the lake. To bad you didn't get a look at the monster that took you downstream. Would have made losing it a lot easier I'm sure.

Anytime man, let me know...
