Interesting area to live Joey and I can't think of one person that has reported from those far up stretches of the Ottawa. It's almost a forgotten river up past Mattawa... for me anyways. If that's your Lund I like it. Exact same as mine!!! Hope to see more fishing from ya from up that way.

Never have I seen such realism Chris. You are a true talent in the dark room. Your photofinishing is beyond any need for further practice. I wish to God I could catch muskie like that.

Ummmmmmmm yeah! What he said. lol.

Hey... now who wouldn't want to get in on some of that smallie action??? Dropshottin' rockin I see !!!

Great fish dood! That'll put a smile on your face probably ti'll sometime long into 2014.

Solid haul of gold for U&Me & you... Mr. Prospector.

Pleasure to read doooood! Really nice!!! Most of those chum still look to be in great shape and I bet they gave you're rod a good buckling Chris. I'm with Ron here, keep at it... ALL of it.

360 anglers not fined... 90 dumbarses fined. lol.

That beats sitting on yer arse at home. A nice surprise fish.

Alone with just my wife or a couple friends on the ice... middle of nowhere Kesagami Lake... March... 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009... checked three of those times by the big plane, once by skidoo. One of those years it didn't happen at all but I can't remember which. ALL times the MNR were great with me. Although I gotta wonder what they spent just checking my card and snooping around the ice for fish??? Last week spoke with another by phone. He took the time to return my call almost immediately and we had a great conversation. Second time with this CO. It is understood though that there are always gonna be a percentage that aren't nice to deal with, and that's just life. I too think the original OP has good reason to question the costs of CO's flying around the north checking on anglers because we can imagine it to be costly... but as far as wastage goes with our tax dollars, I'm pretty sure they're just a drop in that bucket.

Lotsa largilililies lads!!! Like that shot of all ya'll.

Quality time with family for sure Jen. Nice to see a report from you. Congrats on your BIG pike as well.

In the northern land where the walleye are abundant like the southern perch, is the most fun.

A Thanksgiving feast of incredible photos Joey. Congrats again on the PB. Enjoyed the read this morning.

Great fall colors and smallies Aaron. Picked up a $2 SAIL crank as well, to try for eyes. Staying up all night working then going fishing all day... that's not easy man. Solid efforts for your day.

Thanks Lew!

Some good "other" western species there Jer. Keep fishin' on dood!

Well that then sure is one horde of nasty ghouls and goblins you've been out scaring up. You should haunt us with these kinda posts more often. Great fishing Ron & Keith.

Seriously... that is awesome! Hats off to the Skip!

Ahhhh the great outdoors. She's got some half decent buds on 'er... but she's still only a one night party for a few.

Superb Rob. Time well spent and quite enjoyed that little-ditty of a write-up. Cute lad that's gonna down many, many birds in his hunting future.

Breakfast..... droooooool!!! I'll eat just about anything... but the whole big breakfast is hard to beat.

Gimme time in the boat to January 1st. Then skip that month entirely, giving Feb & March only for ice, then back into the boat April 1st. And umm ohhhhhhh.... DON'T ever post that background of my spot EVER AGAIN.

Herbal or Eastern treatments... Dunno. Western... working with an incredibly intelligent ER Physician right now... worst case P.I. treatments often do well with tapered doses of oral Prednisone, Calamine lotion, and/or for unblistered sites, Cortisone based creams. Now that you've got it once, (become sensitive, or more sensitive to it) you will continue to get it. Poison Ivy reaction occurs within about the first hour of contact with the leaf. You have about that time to best wash it off with warm soapy water... or cold. If you touch an area of contact (ie. clothes) and touch somewhere else, (ie, sweaty forehead, weiner, whatever) you are likely to get it there. If you develop blisters, the fluid within (weeping out) can spread to more sites from that contact. At the blistered stage there is a low incidence of communicability, higher incidence of you spreading to more areas on yourself. If clothes worn, or pet remains unwashed, it could cause later reactions in another area. Smaller incidence of reoccurrence or new sites if say, leaf to clothes to car seat to skin were to happen, but that's slim Also, with a very small percentage of people poison ivy can "possibly" spread internally, and with those people only an internally administered medication will help.

Good looking ski that hit the mark man. Congrats on that. This little post is just cause for some more LSC muskie wood.
