Eat the chub and save the rest for the gators.

Would love to go, but anything south of Sundridge/South River is a bit too much of a haul for me for a day trip.

-41C hutless. It's a dry cold though!!!! -41, no wonder you are looking for a pop up. What would that be if you had a breeze? Oulu Finland in December cold, I will never go back there in this lifetime, I don't know how you frozen nuts do it.

Quickfish 3 is nice for sure.

Are you saying its only your wife that's tired of fishing in -40 outside? When its that cold, its time to crank up the hand warmers and go riding, save fishing for another day!

That's some great action...try a jig and white twister tail sometime.

Add a bunch of salt to the water to scent them up

I'd rather have dead minnows for pike any day of the week

I can sit and listen to Waylon all night

If you haven't explored MNR Fish Online yet, I would highly suggest it. You will see stocking lists of lakes close to the highway you could shoe into. Can't comment on ice conditions but I understand the area does have some very productive trout lakes. Small lakes should be fine for walking (lakes are sleddable here now) but dont take my word for it!

No minis, smallest was 14.5" and biggest right around 20.

You can't say something like that without elaborating???

 

Tons of ice up here now. Sled trails are nice and another foot is on the way today. I get to work all weekend with a brand new sled sitting in my truck

Yes, live minnows, my buddy got the biggest one sight fishing a lipless rattle bait.

Great song from (maybe) my favourite Bowie record. I'll have to listen to this live recording all the way through.

Fantastic tune ^

I'm giving his new one Blackstar a try, the title track is absolutely brilliant!

David was an outrageously brilliant songwriter, as well as performer. His golden era of 'The Man Who Sold The World' through to 'Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)' in the 70's contains much of the most brilliant pop and rock and roll (and everything in between) I've ever heard. His influence is heard in everything from bubblegum pop to heavy metal, and his sex, drugs, and rock and roll debauchery in his heyday surpassed just about anyone else this world has ever seen. A true legend in every sense of the word, and it sounds as though his last album released just a few days is absolutely great, apparently the best thing hes done in years.

thanks Chris and Tender, thats why i love this place.....id like to break up the stretch between Nipigon and Iroquois falls anyone know a good spot half way? preferably with good fishing. i have 4x4 dont mind crown land. i would also love to park the trailer and a truck on a beach somewhere along the way for a night.

Long Lake might be worth looking into. Crosses the hwy and apparently excellent fishing.

Bring the pop-up camper and boat to Rabbit Blanket lake in LSPP

Good job Nick, looks like a blast

Looks like a fun ride...Ill pass on the fuel bill though

Man that is awesome! I'm not as big on ice fishing as I used to be but that is something I'd love to do.

It's a totally unique experience, one of my favorite fishing styles, but can also be extremely frustrating!

For sure! The knuckle dragging snub nosed bank mutants seem to like fishing the east tribs. I avoid those people at all costs.

 

Looks like a nice strain of steelhead in that river, no snub nose mutants. Great fish Mike

 

 

Still gotta love the simple, small time, blue collar fish reports. Better than a political horse dump any day IMO. Hopefully more of these in 2016.

Amen! Less and less of these over the years unfortunately. Seems most people here talk fishing more than they actually fish and the few that do fish don't post anything. I think most of the blue collar daytrip guys that fish a lot and wanted to talk fishing have left OFC due to the vast majority of the forum being off-topic.

All waters north of hwy 17 in Zone 10 are open yr-round for bass as well.
