That is a good thought. Thanks.

 

Beer and canned ham while maybe funny...

I take my processed pork very seriously, I'll have you know. Klik and eggs is a godlike breakfast in the bush!

Awesome report. Probably learned a whole lot about northern walleye fishing in those couple of hours eh!

I suggest you try golf.

Way to go! That must be close to covering the cost of fuelling the boat for those long days trolling.

Nice shots. Pic 4 must be a 30# class fish? Most of the best east end fishing is over before the Sun Derby even starts LOL

Man, there is some nasty slimy slop in that harbour. Good job on making the most of it

(not having you fishing license with you is actually a bigger fine than not having a fishing license altogether)

Care to back that up with some facts? I was fined for not having my fishing license in possession once, for $120, definitely no more than 3 years ago, and would be shocked to learn that not owning a license entirely would be a smaller fine.

You still have to follow the seasons and limits when hunting on your privately owned land, why would fishing be any different?? I think those public pay by the inch trout ponds are licenced in some way and are possibly exempt though.

 

Would you shoot a duck out of season on that pond, if not why would you take a fish out of season?

Because the ducks were not stocked by the landowner...

I hope your buddy didn't hulk smash that poor smallmouth lol!

Good fishin boys.

Pike aren't picky, I haven't seen one that was leader shy yet. Big flouro leaders or titanium (That won't kink).. No point in donating lures to those tooth critters.

Yep. I usually run braid to steel when I'm specifically fishing esox. Pike DO.NOT.CARE.

If your a Racer X fan or a fan of the like, you might like this!

 

Yah, these boys can play a bit! LOL

HH

Not too big on that stuff, but major Racer X love here. Paul Gilbert was the boss on this album!

Man all the talk I hear about muskie fishing is hard and many days of no fish and the fish of a thousand casts. Thins stuff is a walk in the park dude.

 

 

Think I'll chalk it up to beginners luck. Lol

I caught a 50" ski on my first ever official musky trip. I think I should stop before things get out of hand.

Nice fish

Unreal blue halos on that last fish. Picture doesn't do it justice. The net is 20" exlcuding the handle, and it barely fit.

Over the past few weeks, I've been spending most of my fishing time probing likely waters for resident trout. Speckles being my primary target, I was surprised to find many new spots with healthy populations of resident brown and rainbow trout. It's been interesting to note how each species positions themselves in these tiny waters differently. Most fish have been taken on size 10 to 14 bead head nymphs fished under an indicator, but a few nice fish have come on small dries, which is something truly special. All fish released,all but one or two were hardly taken out of the water. Extremely fragile fish.

Oh, and my 7 ft 3 weight Loomis/st. Croix combo is an absolute blast for fighting these strong fish.

Pretty little guy taken on a dry from today

My usual brookie spots are starting to really slow down, but some nice fish are still making it to the net.

And my personal favourite...

DARE you say epic? I think that trip qualifies.

Ling are absolutely fantastic. I'd take them over a greaseball laker any day.

Those little brownies are super fun to catch. Nice going!

Awesome report!

Another favorite of mine.... Could listen to this, over an over again

 

Absolutely godly song. From my favourite Rush album too. Perfect in every way

Good stuff. Do you use a strike indicator? They help in presenting the fly to the right depth, not to mention...indicating strikes. Also, you can add 1 or 2 small shots in faster flows to help get it down quicker.

I bet you'd find some browns and/or brookies if you moved upstream into some headwater stretches

Good stuff. I also just upgraded my fly gear this spring to a 7 ft 3 weight. The longer, bulkier blanks are nice for longer casts on open stretches of creek but they're a pain once you get in the skinny stuff.

I found the brownies pretty good too, finally.

Dude! Monsters all around. I'm assuming you mean shadflies when you refer fishflies?

Some amazing specimens! As for the laker, I would place it in the 20 lbs class, if not higher personally!

After seeing TDunn's post...the one with the sweet photo of the speckled trout pushing water, I figured it would cool for us to compile our collective "action shots" in one thread.

 

Remember this one?

I like this one as well...
