siwash

there's been quite a few caught this year... looks like all the negativity around the program might have been pre-mature...

thanks folks!

Hey folks, When using Power Pro and metal leaders (pike), should you still tie on a piece of florocarbon or can you just tie on the leader directly? It seems pointless to me to tie on floro leader when tying on a highly visible metal leader. Does anyone simply tie on their crankbaits directly to Power Pro (without metal leader), or is a floro leader a must? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Marinas don't usually allow you to fish em... against their rules and it's private property... u weren't harassed by them?

Hey folks, Anyone here familiar with the Musquash River west of 69/400? I drive by it every so often and the area looks enticing... Was thinking of putting around in my canoe in that area... is it accessible from the highway? Can you park there w/o issue? Is the water flat and calm or should I expect strong currents or rapids? I was thinking of paddling up to or beyond Gray Lake. Any other alternative rivers/lakes in that area that might hold a walleye or 2 or some pike? Thanks much in advance!

Holy smokes, guys... leave us some fish!! Good job...

Thanks... what size spinners do u use?

Latest forecast is calling for snow flurries tonight! Tomorrow won't be much better.. Don't worry about black flies - an ice auger might be more useful Why does the weather always suck on victoria day weekend? it's really very strange cause I got caught in snow on several occasions over the years... We really have the strangest weather...it was 28'C two weeks ago in Muskoka!

Just a "FYI" I don't think you can use pike as bait.

What size Cleo's you guys use? 1/4 oz or smaller?

Those are beauts!! What is your opinion on the state of the chinook fishery these days? Are the numbers and sizes still there?

Hey folks, What are your favourite brook trout spoons? I like the Gold William Wabler (i think it's 2.5"). I also like the EPG's(sp?) - it's a black, gold and spotted spoon but not easy to find nor cheap! I'm interested to know what else you folks use to troll and/or cast to brookies? Has anyone tried trolling a spinner while canoeing or does this lead to a lot of line spin?

Definitely false morels... the morels are out in full force now... Fortunately, the false are easily distinguisable from te black and yellow morels which are delicacies! BTW, I am interested to know about the gas motor set up. I am looking for a 2HP. Which bracket did u buy? Is it stable? What kind of speed can you attain? It's not overpower is it? thanks!

Ya, I'm leaning toward a 2 HP -- Is there a big diff in weight? Hard to find them...

The War of 1812 was acrually won by the British! Canada didn't even exist as a nation at the time - and we didn't make a move w/o British approval until about the WWII! Then we had to listen to another master... Unky Sam... it ain't so bad being a colony of two great empires! Walleye, pickerel.. what's the diff?!

FYI a number of Atlantics have been caught and positively ID this spring in Lake O

Thanks guys... they 4HP motor I am thinking of buying weighs 35lb and incorporates the gas tank into the motor. I can easily counter-balance with gear and/or ballast of some sort, I suppose.. I was just worried that a 4HP is too much power... i'll bet the canoe would plane!! lol! Suppose I don't have to gun it.. Thanks much and I will look for the mounts on the net before going new

I would kill to know that spot... can't be too far north... Turkey pic gave that away! Hmm...

Any thoughts/comments on these old motors? Can one still find parts? Were they known a reliable? Thanks!

Hey folks, Was wondering if anyone has an opinion of, or experience with, the 'Old Town' canoe motor mounts or motor mounts in general for canoes. Are they worth the money? Can u actually mount a 2 or 3 hp motor on one? Do they create an imbalance in the boat if your cruising solo? Thanks in advance!

We're seeing more and more Atlantics coming out of Lake O. I've seen a few this spring already on the salmon board... Looks like the stockig program is starting to work! That's a healthy looking fish... We'll be lucky if these things take... fantastic fighters...

Now if only Quebec would give us back the 10's of billions we've given them to protect their language and culture and day care programs!! that'd be something, huh? lol

U suck, Coke Heads!! Laperiere's an idiot GO BRUINS!! 3 more quick games...

Ya just like the Habs did for 5 consecutive years, from 98-2003, right? they'll be golfing in 7 days..

Interestig... It's odd that so few people in Ontario target cats... In the states there's a cult following this looks to be a pretty good fishery... Are many people fishing for them?
