  1. crazy report, I enjoyed the recap of the Nipigon trip the most, not many people would do an extreme trip like that, that time of year, you guys are definitely hardcore looks like you guys got 1 splake (guy in camo jacket and hoodie)? those giant ling are pretty light in colour so, the mighty Bravo got stuck, I met 2 trappers in the bush last weekend, who have been doing it for 35 years, both riding BR LTs and they have another back at home as a spare or for company to ride
  2. if there is special regulations on some water bodies, like slot sizes, minimum sizes or no kill on some species, they may argue that gaffing a fish isn't cool when it has to be released I think Alberta doesn't allow a gaff, Saskatchewan does
  3. I've never used the spoons, so I'm no help, the UV paint might be good in low light conditions How many did they have left? I'm passing by Brant St tomorrow
  4. good post, another little tidbit CANADIAN Chapleau, Ontario, 1998 For catching big pikes and the odd pickerel
  5. happy April fools day guys
  6. a couple more drinks for me, and I'm going to jump in the truck and drive up to RRFN and give you a Marty McSorley
  7. shouldn't you be watching the game, not mocking my reports?
  8. it was a couple days OOS but it was hooked deep you're welcome in advance Nick, for pumping up Team 6, yeah, I rock!
  9. that's funny, I thought you were the puppet master
  10. you had me and my wife, hook, line and sinker
  11. I don't really understand this, is this right- T Can Pipe gets to run a pipeline through the park, ON Prov Parks get gas heating for their buildings, and campsites have a gas powered fire pit???? I'm thinking this is an April fools joke it's so absurd??
  12. I think they say "world record" for added drama, but it's a line class record
  13. great video TJ, looks like you guys had a good ice fishing season with friends and family, all those tip-ups look sweet
  14. wow, dark lakers and nice orange flesh, it's still full blown winter up there eh, looks like a great day
  15. We saw it but didn't climb it, we did Devil's Bridge but my fear of heights seems to be getting worse as I get older and I couldn't cross it, couldn't even get close to it actually, we also did Siphon Draw, one day hiked over 20km and hilly, I was whooped that night great weather down there eh? funny AZ story, in a nutshell I tried to drive into a part of the airport with a small RV, a couple hundred meters in on a one way road, a height restriction bar and the RV was way too high, I had to jump the curb and weave my way through a landscaped area to get back to a road it crossed my mind that law enforcement would think the RV driving through the cacti and other manicured stuff was loaded with bombs on a suicide mission, Hahaha, no problems though, a few people staring though
  16. now that you mention it, I can remember gritting my teeth a few times as a big rig flew by in the opposite direction, showering us with gravel and stones, our windshield was fine though definitely a magical part of the world, a huge chunk of beautiful country inhabited by very few people (the people we did meet were great though), I think 75% of the Territories population lives around Whitehorse, and Whitehorse is pretty similar in size and population to Orillia, your video makes me want to go back
  17. a good size specimen too, let us know how it tastes
  18. when in Rome.....
  19. Sedona, AZ anytime Nick yep, it's always nice up there, I haven't caught anything decent really this season either sweet, that's sort of why I included that picture, hoping somebody would chime in like you just did I've gotten pretty good at panning and can get it down to the black sand (takes me a little while though), I've never found a fleck though with me, I went to the Klondike for a vacation, came home, then read Pierre Burton's Klondike book, now I'm hooked, I can't believe I didn't try some sluicing/ panning when I was up there, I've been trying around here and on fly-in fishing trips I'll PM you if you don't mind, very cool
  20. Looks like a successful winter despite the weather For the private lake rainbows, I'm assuming it's a catch and release lake? I wish there was some public catch and release lakes around
  21. I was in warmer climates last week, a bit of a shock to the system it looks like I'm having a peyote induced, mystic vision in this pic We even had a chance to break out my homemade mini sluice and do some panning, The Lost Dutchman Mine is still lost Then up to Haliburton I had never seen one of these before, a Moto-ski Mini Sno, very cool got out for some fishing, Doug is happy with this laker on his ultra-light set up I was chatting with a couple of guys on the ice, who also had some time on their hands so we hit a back lake the next day the guys get right to work, setting everything up looks like somebody was here before us Jake forgot his boots so he was stylin' in the Nikes A slow day, I felt bad for recommending the lake and then it sucked out, that's fishing I guess, Arno managed to salvage something with this nice splake the splake pooped out 1 inch red worms, we assumed they are parasites since they weren't digested like the other stomach contents? anybody know? a cottage neighbors place became yet another victim of the heavy snow loads, there used to be a roof on the place, they're not up much in the winter so I'm pretty sure nobody was hurt
  22. you should probably PM Mike Borger on this board, there may be some new info on that outfitter, I think Mike's out of town but may get the message
  23. looks like good, redneck fun it probably would have pulled fine with just the big 4 stroke skidoo and a shorter lead?
  24. great video of an epic trip, it's a great part of the country, it would have been cool to have Corb's "Truck got Stuck" song playing as background in the video (Hahaha) I think $10 is a very fair price for a shot and great Canadian sour toe experience nothing compare to the Dempster, those small RVs are great in me and my wife's opinion
  25. All the stuff I like about mine they got rid of in the new style Spare tire on back (a ton of storage where most cars have their spare ...4 cases of beer cans and 2 tackle boxes) 4x4 lock bottom...unlocks when exceed 40km but most in the category don't offer any locking Back seats slide forward and recline. They got rid off all that stuff I like the roof racks, and good on gas Bad Wears out tires fast (dealer told me) I got 60000 km out of mine Seats not too comfortable Not too good in snow for a 4x4. Maybe too light. Stero speakers suck, worth upgrading! My rear brake just went yesterday 80000 km. My jetta has 155000 on original brakes.
