I have been using, www.wunderground.com. It,s been pretty good to me. Today it was bang on.

Nice fish G. Off a dock. Relaxing and casting.

Thanks guys Drew I use windows movie maker. Get it on line for free. Im still learning the editing thing. Ya it,s dummy proof some what.LOL I fished from sun up til 11 today. Man the fishing was tough. Took a half hour flicking the 5 wt. I can do it with no issues on the toon. Now I want to hit some other lakes for fly fishing.

LOL I hear ya bud. Yanked ya in. LOL

Shame on you.

What he said Awesome

Ya hit 11 and beach rd and it poured. Lucky us Added some heat to the fish tonight. Oh so good. Hope you and the mrs enjoyed, like we did.

Every weekend brings a new fishing adventure. Quick find and catch, or slow fish and catch. This morning was a quick snatch and grab for the whities , then it was a long morning of washing spoons. Both Terry and I went through pretty much our go to,s and our , lets try these spoons. Even tried to jig over a pod we found late . Nada. We are eating fresh fish tonight,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I am not a big fan of the loop knot. I find it to bulky. Yes, I tie my own, so maybe my fault. To big maybe. I also find it sinks, not float. Water gets in the main? Like I said, always learning. I am set up for sunday. Goofing around. Going to just flap some casts and see if I like my new set up. I want to have it right when bass opens and then when the steel head season gets here. Thanks guys for the reply's.

Let me know if you go with a metal roof Rob. Our little sister plant is the manufacture of metal roofing. Also do the installation. Back 18 years ago, I was the one stamping the panels out. Will send a pm.

LMAO

Thanks Bill, I knew you would chime in. I like the Davey knot as it,s quick to tie, but I know, or think I know, the larger flies should have some natural flow/wiggle to them. I could be wrong, but trial and error. I have also been seeing more braid leader line posts, from main fly line. Maybe cuz the braid doesn't cut in the main line like mono. Interesting.

Thanks Dave

I fish in his boat, he never has fish. I might have a couple, but it,s not my boat. Thats all I got to say about that.

LOL You actually want to be paid to sit, drink beer and fish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :rofl2:

Just re rigged up my 5wt. Been a year since I threw the fly and I am still very much a novice. Oh I was gung ho back a couple of years ago, but kinda stepped back, but getting the itch again. I have learned to tie the blood knot, but have found the uni from fly line to leader , much faster and easier and holds well. Leader to tippit, I just loop to loop. As for the my main tie to the fly, I have found the Davey knot by far the quickest and easiest to do. My question is, am I good with this set up for heavier fish, steel head or salmon ? Or do I want to step up my fly knot to a loop knot ? Or would a improved clinch knot be preferred? There are sooo many knots out there, I have youtubed myself to death, watching and tying soooo many knots. My pc table has so many cut offs.LOL Oh btw, I wont be using the 5 wt for steel head, I,ll be using my heavy 9wt rod for that. Just throwing out the question on knots. Even your set up would be nice to hear about.

Enjoying Simon. You are taking it to the next level. What net are you using? I see it extends and the loops seem hook friendly and light. Might be what I am looking for. Keep them coming bud.

Very nice.

WOW Damed if they do, damed if they dont. You all forget they are under budget and under staffed. What ever they can do, is good by me. And to add to the OP, my co-worker talked to me this morning and mentioned he seen this. Asked what it was all about. From what he described, I told him a check point for over limits/out of season fish or unsafe towing rigs. He also mentioned he seen the two trucks being looked over down from the check point. I say thank you to them for doing the best they can with what they have to work with.

I wasn't far off. Bang on really. Good eye, or good memory. LOL And it,s the 4 sisters. When 1 or 2 were blowing smoke, the fishing was the best during the winter months, 3 was manageable, but when all 4 got to blowing, for get it. Water way to warm and flushing/ flow, way to fast for the bait to be sitting in the right areas. Old Thermo rd, was the old name of the road leading into the park. it was once just mud and piles of dumped what ever. Piles of it. There was man made, truck/ car paths to get to the waters edge. A concrete block wall. Many reminisce are still there to see from the old days, but most gone. I like to stop by when Im down that way. Now just a large carp ground. The out flow had a long wooden pier. I remember dipping for smelts when I was a wee lad of 7-8 yoa with my pop, grandfather and uncle. Dang, funny how a pic from today, can bring back so much. Thanks

Great report . Sounds like you were well taken care of.

Simcoe is 49.5. Loads of yakers out, even a couple of toons. LOL

Taken from the Humber area or closer to old Thermo Rd? CN on the left, so it,s not east side. Nice.

Probly what we all thought. No shame in turning it off. Most of the real true fans, kept watching, hoping, for a turn around. LOL
