Whitby has been stocked with browns multiple years, not sure which years exactly, but I have heard of good returns. Never tried for them myself, but I heard there's the odd pike in there

I never thought about it much but I never would have though there were browns in lakes in Manatoba. Nice fish.

Like rainbows, browns and tigers have been stocked in many, many pot lakes all throughout north America.

Amazing! I also use a small fly reel for the troots and perch round here...super fun stuff. A 16"er could bust yer knuckles easy!

Given your location, you may as well get an 8" since you likely won't be drilling thru much more than 12" of ice most of the year.

Absolutely brutal forecast on the way...but it was nice to get the feet wet [ha ha] and get December started off right.

LOL! The show specials are just rods that he brings to the Sportsman show, and evidently hasn't sold yet.

Would hate to see it set any kind of precedent for zones that couldn't support that type of pressure.

 

Like I said, good luck eliminating that bass population with anything short of a nuclear attack - but open season on bass in the Kawarthas and we would be fishing for nothing but zebra mussels in about a week and a half.

I agree 100%.

Hah! A truck for a princess...

I bet that 12" inch lift really comes in handy when they're driving down all those nasty trails to get to their tournaments...

What exactly are you worried about happening?

The few people that actually keep bass up there will now have an opportunity to legally possess more [as if that mattered anyway] without a seasonal size restriction. Bring it on down to zone 11!

I definitely support it. However, if you think this proposed change would have even the slightest chance of 'decimating' bass populations [in that zone specifically], much less even affect them adversely, I'd like to hear your thought process behind it.

Mmmmmm...coldwater smallies

Finally get to see these dudes Saturday!

I already don't believe you...

This year, I successfully pared my tackle down to a small, 3 compartment flambeau shoulder pack. I have everything in it that I could possibly need to effectively fish for the 10 + local species of fish that I actively target throughout the year. Truly makes you realize how much you can do without and not affect your outcomes.

Alright here goes, I will be fishing with my buddy in his boat. We currently have 1 x Scotty 1080 manual (bought from OFC classifieds) since only one rigger, the need for a double duty rod.

 

We will be adding 2 x 12" cannon trax this winter to mount the rod holders and the rigger base to. I will need the rods, reels, dipseys, line, flashers and lures.

 

 

 

Cheers

There's no such thing as a double-duty rod. Dipsy and rigger rods have wildly different actions, so one of each would be necessary.

You members won't like my reply, but they should ban them in Ontario until we get a hefty return deposit on those 1 lb propane bottles. I am so sick of seeing those things discarded all over the bush in Northern Ontario.

Great point.

I'd be interested to see how many hours you could get out of a 1 lb. tank. Seems like a great design.

A 10' Talora dipsy stick should fit snugly in a stocking

I don't remember the last time I ever went to the grocery store for fish...between the trout perch pike pickeral bass ling etc easily available locally why buy fish that has travelled thousands of kms in the back of truck.

Well you managed to outfish the lot of us on Nipissing last year, so maybe perch will give us a fighting chance...

Yikes! Glad we don't have that much powder up here. No good for the ice!

Lots and lots of Radiohead.

It would suitable for most of Quinte, except the deepwater trolling stretches closer to the main lake.

Main body of any great lake is a whole other story...wouldn't even consider it.

Great tale. I'd like to try and hook up with some smallies on the ice before they close December 30th. Monsters like those would be a blast on the short rod.

Bacon-wrapped bird is always a smart choice. Love it...

Stayed there a couple autumns ago. Very nice owners, but not sure what their winter operation is like.

Their resort is about 15-20 mins up the S. River btw.
