preroller

neat! I'll be out sometime the next couple days in the French River Delta.

waiting for Hartley Bay (Fr. River) to thaw still also. hopefully sometime this week they say.

Yep. North of Parry Sound is still about half the price though

I'm headed that way end of the week and need my sticker...

They didnt get any shipped to them here at the CT in Stratford.

I got a job here for the summer! very excited.

^ yeah, like that tiger one on the last pic on the right! I'd settle for those any day!

you should be proud! I lol'd multiple times.

Go Chiefs! My aunt and uncle live in Olathe, been to a few games.

Caught a SM bass tonight at the first Wildwood bridge. didnt look like anyone else did anything. but they were jumping like crazy! 7-9 pm

That sucks...we just bought a farm on PEC, didnt realize it was closed for ecoli, yuck!

Any info on the trip yet?

The Thames from Mitchell to St. Marys has been much better fishing than Wildwood this year. The main bridge at Wildwood is closed due to construction, there are 2 bridges to the east of the main one that are 15 mins from Stratford, and easy to fish from.

Ozzy thought it was a fake bat though...he went to the hospital right after he realized it was real. SHARRRON!

+3 votes...good luck

I liked that park...some decent hiking trails.

Don't forget to check out the osprey nest.

I went out for a few hours and caught 0 fish though, so I can offer no help there.

Nice one!

I'd say closer to 4 lbs

There are no bass in this part of the Thames. Wait. We saw one out at Wildwood, didn't we, or was that a figment of my imagination?

I've caught some nice ones in wildwood, and 100's around St. Mary's

Welcome aboard Dave. Looking forward to your input. What was your name on the old board?

I believe it was still preroller...I remember your name...I see that TJ, Spiel, are still here as well. What about CanaDave? sp

Whats up? I used to be a member on the old school board, moved out to BC for a few years, and when I moved back had no vehicle, so not much fishing action for me Anyway, I have a car again and ready to do some fishing once again!

A bit about me...My name is Dave, I'm 33 years old and I live in Stratford ATM. I like to fish for SM bass on the Thames river, I did a lot of fly fishing out west for Cuttthroat trout, and have fished a fair bit on the Grand near K/W with very little success. My grandparents used to have a cottage near bear island on Lake Temagami, where we caught a lot of Pickerel, Pike and Bass. I hold the family record for Pickerel with a 33 inch 13.3 pounder. I have also fished around Godrich and Benmiller on occasion for trout and salmon, I caught a few rainbows and one salmon there.

I am going to be apprenticing on an organic CSA next year and then I will be starting up my own organic CSA farm the year after that. Going to do vegetables and the like the first few years and hope to expand to Muscovy duck, quail, and have a few other free range animals for personal consumption. I also have a smoker and make some really tasty smoked fish.

This board has always been an excellent source of fishing info and I look forward to many trip reports for ya'll and hopefully meeting up with some other solo fisher(wo)men who are looking for a fishing buddy.

Tight lines!

Dave
