Fish it !! My best Brookie lake is a pot hole lake with tons of springs ! You could almost call it a pond . Still remember the surprise when my slip float dropped under the surface and a feisty Brookie was landed shortly after. Here's the kicker ... I had bypassed this lake and portaged further in to other lakes for years thinking it was to small to waste time on. Lesson learned .

Yep it's looking to be a less then banner year for grouse in the WMU's I frequent . June was brutal on them. Still you never know , foilage is so thick most birds would be invisible untill flushed . I'll have a better feel for what's going on around us once I can run my GSP in the woods again, still the risk of him disturbing chicks and every other animals new offspring . R

That's a giant Simcoe laker , Nice one !!

Great morning , and definitely will throw the canoe in the truck next time , as well as some top water baits .

Nice !!! When's it getting slimed !!! I'm headed up to do some bear baiting next week near a small stocked rainbow lake on crown land . Extra hands are good ;-) and you get a new lake . Let me know Cheers Ry

No easy task , well done !!!!!!!

LMAO!!!!!! Nice

It's funny , on one of Chris's last backwoods fishing reports he talked of using a boat that was cached , after looking at his pic of the lake lone behold it was one of our boats we have stashed at the lake . Small world eh. A quick pm varified it . I have no problems with anyone using our stashed boat, we use other people's. luckily no bad experiences yet .

Hahaha, I know that cache of boats also LOL.

09 Forester XT. Low KMs and scored a pretty sweet deal from the Subaru dealership ( believe it or not LOL)

Great thread, just so happens we were also looking for a vehicle . After doing some extra homework we've decided on a Subaru forester and pick it up on Tuesday. Thanks OFC

I would start with a high quality puppy kibble and slowly introduce a RAW diet after at least a year. I've had my GSP on just about every quality food you could imagine , including a RAW diet. In the off season he's feed straight kibble , during the hunting season (Sept-Feb) he's feed kibble supplemented with basically anything we have for supper that night ie , meats, fish, rice, etc .. For 6 months of the year he's expected to run and hunt hard 3 to 4 days of the week. Usally around Oct he's transformed into a lean mean hunting machine. Why have you picked a RAW diet?

Nice going !!!!!!!!

Nice going !!!!!!!!

Other little guy landed his fish , and the boys took turns trying to subdue the flopping trout it was priceless LOL. Really made me wonder, the next time I'm fishing a crowded pool on a river and I'm getting fish ( wishful thinking) maybe I should pass my rod to the new guy who's just starting instead of coursing to myself about how this guys messing everything up.

Took the little guy for a few hours to some stocked rainbow ponds . Kid had a blast !! And so did I LOL. With a Rod rigged with 2lb fluorocarbon a small float and worm the kid was a force to be reckoned with. At age 3.5 he's enjoyed a few successful outings already BUT today he blew me away!! In the hour we were there we caught fish steady, enough to coax an angler and his 3 year old to make the walk around and fish right beside us. On the rivers or in a boat you'd lose your mind but the trout ponds are for kids so I was hoping to see the little guy hook one . After a chat with the other father we learned that they hadn't hooked anything all day. Not ten seconds after hearing that we're into another . I ask my son if he'd like to give his rod to the other little boy so he can reel one in and his words exactly " that's a great idea"!! He stood by the other little fisherman shouting instructions and words if encouragement . I couldn't of been more proud. That's what it's all about.

When autumn comes shoot me a PM, if your interested I can provide you with all the pheasant feathers you'll ever need. Free for the taking as I normally just chuck em out.

Hahahahha , no turkey yet. Arms are to sore to steady a shotgun !! To many fish ;-)

! WOW! That's motivation !! Nice one !!

Thanks Brian, Your just saying that to keep me off your rivers !! ;-) LOL

Nice, Out again today, spooked two out of their roost on my way in, then spooked another heading to a Different location. And if that's not enough I had me walk right in from of my jeep on Hwy 27. Thinking I'll stick with rainbows in the spring LOL

Hit a field this AM for some turkey hunting with a buddy. We're both rookies when it comes to Turkeys but managed to call in a few just outside our shooting distance. 10x smarter then I ever gave them credit for LOL! Anyone else get out?

Every season I say I'm gonna stop crimping lead shot with my teeth, this year included. Can't be good for ya. Brian, this season if you see me doing It chuck something at me will ya!

I'm learning a ton !!!! LOL

That's cause it was parked near a river ;-)
