It all depends what type of species you are going after and what time of year you are fishing but generally speaking any time is a good time to fish or to be on the water.

Definately a nice fish none the less however 5.5lbs max is the most I give it due to it's lack of girth. If he would of straighten his arms further then it would look more of a 10lber hahahaaa...

Nice Walleyes!!! I like the first picture better.

Double check the weather before you venture out it can get nasty very fast. Can't go wrong with spinnerbaits or drag tubes.

Sweet Brookie...

That's a lovely lookin brownie you got there...

Nice dinner sizers.... As for the younger anglers I'm sure it beats playing video games all day...

Me with a small muskie Aile Gobey with more of these guys All in all it was a beautiful day to bad we couldn't get any tanks to brag about... till next time!

Hit buckhorn with Aile Gobey on the opener and managed a bunch of little guys plus a couple muskies in the mix. All fish were caught using senkos. Aile Gobey couldn't keep these little guys off his line Yo_Guy with a bit bigger one

Those Kings are huge... Great report!!!

Gosh dangit Chad. You are right about the pike below after i changed the contrast on my screen a bit.

I'm curious to ask how this fish tasted assuming it was eaten judging by the slit belly? "edit typo on the eaten part"

Gotta love those toothy critters...

Gotta love those fresh chrome....

Thanks for the report!

Man... I can't wait till this weekend for some topwater bass action... You guys got me all excited!!!

You have to becareful of what you post on OFC despite what your good intentions were. One thing to remember never post anything OOS. lol

It's been years since I've been there you can get trout using trout worms under a float in the early mornings.

I've caught bass, pike and crappies in that stretch on the canal... lots of places to fish... this time of year you can forget about the crappies.

Incase anybody was wondering nobody kept there limit. Jose, I took a quick snooze myself actually... those fish tired me out so i had to recharge and then I went back for some more action.

I'm sure this post was made after witnessing my report below and this is why I did not post any numbers of fish or how many we kept on our outting. I'm a big steelheader fan myself and you won't see me keeping my 2 limit on the ganny river but at times I'll take 1 home. However, if I am on the open water I have no problem keeping my 2 fish after they are done spawning. Heck, the cost of fuel, boat etc... justify enough to keep some fish. You hardly see anybody keeping 5 fish plus it's not always that easy on a boat. It's a needle in a haystack out there!!! Their are many reasons why there were fewer fish counts this year on the ganny and to say "It is a shame to think all those fish I am releasing upstream are ending up in the bottom of coolers out in Lake O." is not fair or better yet how many times a shore angler can fish during a week or how many fish released in the river survived or excerted so the guy down river can perform the easy picking drift and tire it some more? We don't! I'm sure if we add up the amount anglers who can afford a boat or afford a charter outting for that matter vs those who have access to the river in walking distance during spawning time would be much greater plus you don't need any special equipment like the guys out on the boat. Take a look at the ganny or any nearby creeks during the fall and spring run and witness how many fish gets pulled out of the water just for the eggs and as a result the carcasses are left in the bushes or on the river banks. The shore anglers never agreed to lowering the limit to 2 fish they were enforced too simply because shore fishing was showing it's negative impact to the rainbow fishery. We see guy on the river who will fight there fish to it's very last breath using really light leaders to get an increase hookup percentage so they can brag about their double digit days and that seems to be ok. Also, poor release and handling happens very often without knowingly and as a result some of the fish will go belly up floating down stream. It's better to see those fish harvest than to see it go to waste. It's like I said before their are many reasons or explanations as to why things happen. If we are so worried about the low fish count at the fish ladder we should just close the rainbow season and make it a sanctuary from early fall to end of April? That should increase the count for the following season but wait now we don't have enough bait fish and the fish will die. It's a balancing act!!!

His contact number is 905-375-0177. All you need is your camera, sunscreen and pack a small lunch and he'll take care of the rest. He will even clean your catch too...

Slow and steady Lloyd giving Peter a hand netting the fish Oh yeah... Rainbow on left and Brown trout on the right Yo_guy with another one Look at the chrome Yo_guy with another Workwear with another Rainbow

Deeship with his Rainbow Trout Yo_Guy in action Oh yeah.... Peter in action It's a lot tougher than it looks Double header action

Here are a few pictures from last Sunday's outting with U & Me Guide Service with Captain Lloyd along with a few OFNers. If you book an appointment with Lloyd make sure you are on time because he leaves the harbour right on the dot. Morning sunrise shot We had some slow times because the fish were scattered all over and no particular pattern was working, it was all trial an error. Spot A where he did really well the previous outting didn't produce because the fish had moved of course so we went to spot B and got a few and after that it was run and gun to all the possible locations where the fish might hold and what did yah know. This guy sure knows his water when it comes to the big lake. As for what happened on the boat and how many fish we boated I'll let the pictures speak for themselves... Workwear with the first fish on Not sure who's more tired Workwear or the fish Captain Lloyd Daume netting the Rainbow Trout He makes it look so easy Workwear with a big smile Deeship getting a piece of the action next
