The slight forked tail and all-white spots make me think splake, but their snouts usually aren't so stout. I believe Gbay splake stocking ended a very long time ago, but apparently they will successfully spawn on the odd occassion. I believe it's a splake.

I much prefer mono for topwater baits. Braid does not float, but if you tie on a long enough leader, you should be OK.

Very cool...but I think I'd rather gouge my own eyes out than sit through an entire episode of Outdoor Passion

It was a blast, of course. Between the barrage of fish, banter, and trying to keep the canoe upright, pictures were not in order. Felt great to get the stringer filled up, and tasted even better the next morning. The bugs were a non-issue...I think. I drowned the memories in rye

I'll bet we've got members here wondering what the heck a record is
Perhaps not as outdated as you think. I'm 20 and own a turntable, and have an extensive collection of LP's (many, many milk crates worth), a great deal of which were pressed this side of the millenium. Still the best way to record music, in the sense that it is the most natural recording method (no digital compression).
Having said that, what the hell is a 78? 78 RPM?

Cream of the crop when it comes to musky tackle. I am definitely jealous!

I've seen many native lampreys in the headwaters of Lake O. rivers...Do not assume that it was an invasive sea lamprey.

Now that's a 'GbayGiant'!

Amazing, well done! I can tell you unless you live around Thunder Bay there's not many lakes you can drive to and catch brookies like that.
What a great spot!
No kidding!
Keep it secret, keep it safe...

Those are some brutes! sweeeet fishin!

Gotta love those big coloured males...
Are those walleyes great lakes fish? They look washed out like the ones I've caught on Lake O. in the past.
-
That's about the best surprise catch I could think of. Usually it's the other way around...

I was there last year and next to algonquin probably the nicest waterbody that i visited, not sure how the camping is, but personally I would go through the week so that it's calmer, also I would target rainbow trout, yes they are stocked however they are more plentiful and of good size. I want to get out on the long weekend with the canoe in a couple weeks.

White tube and creepers/bad boys jigged right on bottom. Jig slowly, stirring up the bottom and wait for the freight train!

Good lord...Moby Dick in perch form

Well, that's encouraging. Over the past week or so, I've made two cracks at the all-mighty carp to no avail, but I am learning a lot each time. Lots of reading in the past week, and I think I may have mastered the bolt rig as of about an hour ago! The world of bait preparation is pretty intimidating, but I'm not worried about that stuff too much yet.
Keep us posted! I'd love to hit up a few Kawartha holes I know of that would be just brimming with carp right now.

Good goin', Mike. I've had far more luck so far with subsurface flies this season, but when the water rises I definitely turn to the spinners. I've done well with the speckles, but I haven't quite dialed in the brownies yet...WOW
-
I use a 9' 6 wt for resident brookies and browns in your neck of the woods. Sometimes it's a little much, but most of the time it's just right. Small bead nymphs under an indicator are usually the best bet, but when a big hatch hits and you start to see them busting on the surface, tie on a dry and hang on.

I saw it today, and pretty much always see it in the spring on various lakes. I can remember a few trips to simcoe in particular where hundreds of dead perch lined the shallows. Never did figure out why
-
Clearly there are more factors at play. I have fished many lakes in northeastern Ontario that have been stocked quite heavily (relative to their size) with brook trout and have almost always blanked in both spring and winter. Even though these lakes are drive-to, they really don't receive much pressure at all (certainly not enough to drain a lake in one year). Most of these lakes are deep, clear oligotrophic lakes without much winterkill. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I don't think I'm that inept at catching brookies.
popping with braid

I've used most braids on the market, and have found all of them to sink...slowly, but they do eventually sink. I suppose if you're using an active topwater presentation, it may not be noticeable. Using it on float fishing rigs is usually the time I really notice it.
