However... or whatever. Purdy cool you gotta admit, to get THAT from THIS here! A keepsake from your buddy the Prime Minister of Canada.

Tomkat said it! But then those 50 don't work out either. Your one did Brian, for the steel. Nice!!! How long on the smokes now?

There's a good few people who put Clair back on the map for me this year, you're one of them. Stellar season.

Oh man! Memories to come. Cute pup!

Wanna be home. Take my girls to Star Wars. Take my oldest out on a dinner date, my youngest some place to play. Be at my Aunt's Christmas Eve with extended family and friends, drinking White Russians and scotch while playing Euchre and snacking on Holiday goodies. Christmas morn be the last to get up, keep 'em waiting a little, then spoil those girls rotten. Want the turkey dinner Bren and I do up for the entire family to be perfect. Sip me some wine and fall into a tryptophan coma. Want everyone to be OK that my Grandmother won't be with us for the first time this year. And won't mind one bit not working a day for two weeks, and spending as much of that with my girls as possible.

Your motor isn't even gear at 4.5mph. Where the heck has that Terry been? At -43 & -50C windchill this past weekend, this makes me just a wee bit jealous Wayner!

Thanks dood! Hope to guide there again, or somewhere..? And that guy... well he knows where to find me eh! Thanks AK! This one is a beast to read, kinda sorta sorry for that but not really. There are a tonne more pictures on the desktop at home and maybe if time over the holidays more will pop up more here. Finding pics of little shorelunch sized fish will be difficult though.

I was gonna say... this report needs more cowbell.

Fall fatty on the feed bag. Nice Rickster!

Thank you fellas. We have been around awhile ehg! And what's great about that is when us older members continue to post in kind, and support other's reports and fishing, as you do time and again, and have again here. Knowing this one gets a top honors nod from one who's pretty well read everything I've written online, means plenty. Proud of this report and the experience which made it, wanted to capture it all right and real and keep people on the line, and appreciate knowing that some of those who have seen it all from me, continue to enjoy reading. Two and some weeks of hiding out Meegs. Quietly chipping away to pass the time. The fishery is as good as it's been or better since your 1995 days. You'd only be one year late for a twentieth anniversary return visit. Ha ha!!!

Boys I played with in a highschool band all really liked STP... wasn't that into them but certainly didn't mind the tunes, have a couple on the song list and Sour Girl played just last evening. All that talent, all the fame and success, and all that life wasted. A shame really.

My two times faster than dial up is killing this report Mike... But it appears as though you've got the largies dialed right in. Like the steelhead the best but hey, it's all good dood! Great season. Good luck in the 2016

BILL!!!! This is so up your alley dood I don't know how or why it is you haven't made this happen yet. You got that love for the big grease, the travel bug and a sense of grand adventure... Time you make it happen. Barking back and forth ti'll it comes to punches is for simpletons and drunks really. And why should I take any risk? Walk away, and if it comes to it, use the brain instead. Bruises to the surface only last for days dood. Bruising a bullies ego tends to bother 'em much longer. Just "wow." Just that alone TJ? ​ Just "thanks." Then nobody would have believed the rest of the report. Thanks doods!

Don't know where you find the time Mike, but all the power to you. Ummmm... and so my $0.02 Not subscribing to anything anymore at this time myself, I would hope at some point to view the product before considering purchase. Others would maybe want that as well. A premier issue online would be a good gateway to that Mike. See what it's all about. Something to think over eh! I agree with you 110% on your intended content. The "how-to's" have been done to death for me in publications, and the product pushing. Understand why many would like them but, any magazine I do pick up off the shelf I most often look for the travel destination pieces. Being a story teller, I like the escapism when being told or taken away on a story/trip. That's why it's great we still have a few people around online willing to share their realism and experiences, outside of much commercialism. Applaud the idea. Like the direction. You may not remember but yet you may, our conversation in a restaurant U.S. side one night back November 2009. Told you about Petri Hiel (Kingfisher) Germany. You've gone that direction somewhat yourself since then, and if you recall this, you'd know I envy your choices. If you are serious about making the best profit you can, then it will be difficult to give things away for free, especially as you often do in the grand format here and elsewhere. Your saving grace if you continue to do so, may just come from the culmination of all other contributors who do not do the same. Much like with OOD in your past I'd guess, a hold out for first rights in order to be the fresh current resource is to the publications benefit. I think you objected to this with OOD, but down the road the shoe may need be worn on the other foot. Like I commented before too Mike... BIG BALLZ. The time you put into work, fishing, fishing, fishing, travel, travel, planning, planning, planning, reporting, reporting and now this...??? Don't know how you do it and find time for sleep, let alone family. But you obviously must, and, you've always been the type to give things you're passionate about their full attention, 200%. So, I think if anyone can pull off a great launch and take this down some road of success, it's you man. You've put in the time and miles to prepare for it and it's gonna be interesting to watch the race. Good luck Mike.

Dang dood! What a long awesome fall for fishing. You're right, why would you care, these are the bonus rounds anyways.

Well looky here!!! While away the dood's did play. No. Never! Just like this guy didn't either. Team NoQuit! That's too many hours Wayner. Betchya that one felt fantastic.... for the both of yas!

Hmph! Just a little snot rocket really........... Very nice fall fish.

They did not want you to know, or go. It was kept from you. You were excluded. And from your history, that's not usual. There has to be a reason. And if you're truly friends, there should be some honest answers. I've been at both ends, and those times despite it being best, any and all honesty is tough to give and receive. Try to keep a level head with that. Would understand the upset, and hope it works out for the best for you.

You bet. Out front of the Bloody is where Brenda hooked the biggest laker we believe we've ever hooked. They're there Dave, and giants. You'll find one.

No issues with it for the most part, not until there's a claim that it is something it's not.

Ohhhhh gnarly ride!

Some good suggestions Dave in the rest of it. And totally understand just keeping fishing for yourself and friends, plenty do. Will likely want a revisit to Bear at some point as well, but through the lodge it would likely be Trophy Lodge. With Branson's (or maybe it's Arctic Cirlce) opened up again, and the self-guided plan, that'd be great too. To book it though, thinking you'd need a couple years in advance and a solid group of eight or more anglers. Big fish caught there as you probably already know. Heading out and camping at the Bloody, that would be something else as well. Would like it for the lakers sure, but some shore grayling and maybe on the fly would be cool too. Chris, you've always got cool replies to the post, and thanks for that. Agree with the above statement too, but with me, it's not age (or shouldn't be age) dependent in the least. We can all be grumps in the making some days, and always keeping the negatives in check is impossible. But again, in that place there's just no need to take it beyond with that "schoolyard" stuff as you put it. By the responses to the post, I'm actually glad to have kept it in the report. It did add something different, some real food for thought. It makes all that good fishing and stuff, that much better too. Hey! Just ask them if the guide's available when you call 'em to book. If he is, he's yours. Appreciate all the kind replies guys. Surprised so many are actually taking the time to read though all that too, and not just look at the pictures. lol.

Watching this I need to #1 - extend Autumn by about 10 more days a year so I can #2 - head back down to St. Clair again. Good fishing and tips.

You've had some tough times Bruce, this ain't one of them. Congrats.

Great fish and photo Riz!
