We went to Dalrymple.. had a good time.. fishing could have been better but the little guy enjoyed the sunfish.. we accidnetly caught a few bass too, including a solid 3+ lbs smallie It's a nice lake and we'd go back.. looks promising Cheers

Thank you! Pike and pics too I am assuming? Will have to locate which one you're referring to. Would like to confirm before driving 1.5 hours. I just hope these places are open on weekdays. We are heading up tomorrow..

How about Scugog?

Thanks! We are actually going tomorrow! Those lake are even further from us.. we only have 1/2 day

Hello folks, Been a while since I posted here. A buddy asked me to take him and his boy fishing. Both have very little experience so I figured a day of panfishing and maybe some decent game fish possibilities would be nice. Balsam comes to mind as a good choice even though I've never fished it. We just want to rent a basic tin boat. I know Rosedale rents but their boats are pricey and more than what we need. Any other renters on that lake that rent basic boats? Any tips on fishing it would be great, too! Thanks in advance..

Yes we encountered those tiny little flies too... really small buggers that are very annoying... when there's little wind it's worse..

Wymbolwood... a few miles south

Care to explain? I hope not either...

Funny because I can't recall ever getting it before... I've been swimming in the Great Lakes for 35+ years... I read up on it and it's some sort of parasite.. i think Thanks for the response..

Hey folks, Did a beach day with the wife couple of days ago.. This was the second beach day we did this summer.. and, the second time I ended up getting a bunch of little "mosquito-like" bites all over my legs adn some on my body, arms too... We swim at a Georgian Bay beach (Tiny township). I think this is swimmer's itch b/c it only happened when I came back from the beach. My wife did not get it becuase she didn't swim. Does this sound like swimmer's itch and if it does, have other gotten this swimming Lk Huron/ Geo Bay or other lakes in Ontario?

Beauty fish, Mike... Wow!!

This is what I found on the OMNR website. If I am reading this correctly, my 17 nephew will not be required to purchase a license to fish as long as he's with me while fishing? He's a U.S. citizen and coming up for a portage trip I am planning for next week. Can someone confirm this hasn't changed please. Thanks! Non-Canadian residents under 18 years of age may fish without a licence if accompanied by a person who has a valid Ontario-issued recreational fishing licence (or deemed licence). Any fish caught are part of the catch and possession limit of the person who holds the licence.

Embellished weights? I don't know... all I know is that I caught a 12 lbs smallie yesterday...

i remember when soda pop was a nickel...

I was kidding... I wouldn't kill one I do know of a guy who killed one about 5 years ago on McDonald Lake. Right in front of me. I thought that was wrong. What can you do?

It's on spoonpulles.com... second page... A 38 lbs was caught too apparently.. yesterday... no pic and the dude does not have a derby ticket... that would have won the weekly prize

Those eggs are well formed WELL before the summer even starts... they just loosen up by late summer...

Thanks to all...unless something changes, looks like we are heading to Chapleau area.. I'll post a report upon our return! Hopefully, we'll have caught a few fish and enjoyed ourselves safely.

if you change your avatar, i'll help you out with kush

I'm leaning toward the Chapleau area now.. a little further, but we're going for 6 days so what's another 2 hours? I've recieved great info from a board member who was there recently... Looks like a great spot...

Thanks... Is rabbit lake road part of the "temagami" area? We'd like to avoid crowds.. He's hoping we don't see anyone out there but that's hard to do south of Timmins I guess... I'll be posting on CCR tongiht or tomrrow to see what they come back with.. We're ok with up to 6 to 6.5 hour drive from north of T.O. so that puts us north of Temagami. Was grouse hunting last year in the Shining Tree area last far.. that was a nice area. Not sure what fishing is like though.. Thanks.. keep suggestions coming if you can...

He's right... most years the biggest fish are caught in the first two weeks... Keep in mind that mature king salmon stop feeding in August and start running the creeks by the end of August and right through Oct. I've caught quite a few big kings in August and rarely if ever do they have batifish in their guts or poop in their intestines. They bite out of aggression in August.

That the first 40+ salmon from Cdn waters in years... That guy should win it...
