I went to Pickle lake this past August. It is small and featureless, but the cabin is gorgeous and the lake is filled with small to medium walleye. You can PM me if you have any other questions.

I bet the boy will be there for the musky hunt

As an avid gun owner and enthusiast, I agree. Funny how so many people are almost happy to see someone get killed for merely attempting to steal a vehicle.

Wherever the big trout are My only real planned trip is a week at Ogascanan lodge in early June. I plan on catching as many walleyes as I have blackfly bites Other than that it will be camping and day trips scouring the endless back lakes close to home in my 12 footer Also hoping to drop my first bear this May!

600 carb is only available in MXZ/Renegade/Summit but they are a great deal and a proven reliable liquid.

Well that's outrageously stupid...makes me hate Budweiser even more Maybe if the beer was even remotely Canadian...

Remember? No, being 24 years old it's all second hand to me And yeah, I'm more into the harder edged stuff when I'm in the mood for classic east coast stuff (Big L, Rae, Ghost, old Nas, Mobb Deep)

I wonder how many Bravos Yamaha sold in the last few years of their production. I'll bet it was hardly any.

It's like trying to make cinderblock float on water

The EPA has got the North American small engine market by the balls. I can guarantee you the 550 fan won't be around for many more years. It is old, reliable technology, but smokes like a chimney and plows through the fuel. I love mine, but a modern EFI 600 cc two stroke with twice the power will get around twice the fuel economy. Same reason you can't buy 2stroke outboards under 15 hp anymore (even the small evinrudes are 4stroke)

Ventures are awesome so long as you're not doing any serious offtrail. They're fine until you have slow down lol. I was riding with a venture 700 the other day...unbelievable trail rider.

The voyager is the most bare bones work sled on the market, and the price is unbeatable. It wont pull quite as much as a skandic or bearcat but its way more nimble and capable in deep snow, my 144 only weighs about 430 lbs without the battery in it (very easy to crank over cold).

This is pretty much bang on, however those 550 fans don't pop nearly as much as the more powerful liquid cooled motors, you should expect at least 10 k out of a top end on those 550's. I just bought a '16 Polaris Indy voyager 144 550. It is very comparable to the tundra Lt, but the major pitfall of the tundra for me is the pogo stick suspension. It gives you a much narrower ski stance making the machine very tippy and not as nice to ride as a machine with conventional a-arm suspension. It is only really beneficial to people running tight bush trails and traplines. Take a look at the Skidoo Expedition Sport 550, its basically a tundra with an a-arm front suspension, same off trail performance, or the Indy voyager 144 or the 155 (155 has floater skis and articulating rear suspension). Yesterday I pulled 3 guys and all our gear thru a fairly messy bush trail and across a lake with 2 ft of slush like it wasn't even there.

Great fishin...get the smoker ready!

Lots of snow and ice here, nice to have a break from the brutal cold of last year but still be able to enjoy winter. Lakes are well behind schedule for ice but very sleddable and we've got about 3.5 feet of snow now.

First of all, Natural News has National Inquirer-level credibility, and this is just another example of their conspiracy-theory Bull reporting. This is a by-law for a densely populated urban area, and most of the posts here already said better what I would have said.

A typical sled/atv is about 400-600 pounds, that Jeep is at least 3500 pounds. A sled with 2 guys and gear still weighs less than a 1/3 of the gross weight of the jeep.

Nice dark lakers. Good stuff man!

Trucks were on Cbay last weekend (not that id advise it but they were out there). I was fishing the channel out to the main lake last weekend on about 11", likely more now. Slush was starting and we've had a good bit of snow since then and warm weather coming this weekend means it will likely be sled travel only.

Next time I think I'm going on a "big adventure" I'll reconsider my choice of words Love the throwbacks mike

If your hut isn't warmer than 40 while using it, it ain't much good Just take the detector with you when you're not using it?

Awesome bike, Simon, would love to get one myself. No excuses not to hit the back lakes now, that Yammy will pull your boat like its not even there.

Del is crazy talented. Was a never a big fan but I could appreciate his immense talent. You must be a Deltron 3030 fan? This is more my style

It usually means lower, warmer water for spring spawning fish (not good) and generally leads to lower water levels for the summer. A nice slow, cool thaw after a cold snowy winter is the best. I remember a couple years ago when we had temperatures up in the 20's in march, the bush was dry like the summer before it was even May, all the snow just evaporated and left the bush dry as a desert.

What do you guys do with the herring? The ones out of Nipissing are disgusting unless they're smoked or pickled.
